myCred BP Charges

Description

BP Charges addon attaches myCred points charging to three native BuddyPress interactions: sending private messages, accessing member profiles, and joining groups. Aimed at those running a monetized BuddyPress community with myCred, it turns each social action into a points transaction, allowing charging the sender, rewarding the recipient, or unlocking restricted areas based on each profile’s balance.

How to Download BP Charges

BP Charges is available for download here on Ultrapack. After downloading the .zip file, go to Plugins > Add New > Upload plugin, select the file, and activate the addon with myCred and BuddyPress already installed. Charging options then appear in myCred settings in the dashboard.

By turning messages, profiles, and groups into points transactions, BP Charges closes the internal monetization cycle proposed by myCred, fitting each BuddyPress interaction into a debit or credit rule. It is a direct complement for those who have already structured points economy on the site and want to extend this logic to the community’s social layers.
