GamiPress Points Exchanges

Description

The Points Exchanges addon enables conversion between the different point types registered in GamiPress, allowing users to exchange credits for gems, loyalty points for internal coins, or any other combination defined by the administrator. Each exchange is configured on the plugin screen with its own conversion rate, history record, and display on a dedicated page via shortcode, expanding the site’s gamified economy without requiring code.

Key Features

• Conversion between point types
  Allows points from one registered type to be exchanged for another directly in the user’s account.
• Customizable exchange rate
  Defines the exact exchange ratio between each pair of configured point types.
• Minimum and maximum limits
  Sets controlled values per transaction to prevent abuse or unfeasible exchanges.
• Dedicated exchange shortcode
  Renders the exchange form on any page or post through its own tag.
• Transaction log
  Stores every completed conversion for later review by the site administrator.

Benefits of Points Exchanges

• More useful internal economy
  Gives different point types a real purpose by allowing exchanges between them.
• Extended engagement
  Encourages users to accumulate and move points, increasing the time they spend on the site.
• Strategic flexibility
  Makes it possible to create loyalty dynamics, rewards, and parallel currencies within the same platform.
• Transparency in exchanges
  Shows users the applied rate before the transaction, reinforcing trust in the system.

Who Is It For?

• Loyalty sites that work with multiple internal currencies.
• Gamification-based communities, forums, and membership platforms.
• Stores, online schools, and clubs that reward actions with diverse points.

For projects already running GamiPress with more than one point type, this add-on connects these currencies in a single configurable exchange dynamic, bringing consistency to the internal economy. The result is an extra layer of gamification that takes advantage of what is already registered on the site, making room for loyalty campaigns, reward programs, and retention strategies supported by the point flow itself.
