GamiPress Purchases

Description

The Purchases add-on connects the GamiPress points system to your site’s purchase flow, allowing products to be bought with virtual points instead of real money. The integration records each purchase as a gamified event, unlocks conditions for delivering achievements, and keeps detailed user history, serving digital stores that want to turn accumulated points into a form of exchange currency.
