SimpleCredits – is the plugin for WooCommerce system for WordPress. With this plugin you will be able to sell credit bundles (for example 20$ = 40 Credits) and your users will be able to buy your products for credits. Credits payment systems are used by such websites as – www.fotolia.com, www.facebook.com, www.gottlieben.com – and others. The main idea of the credits system, is that your users are buying credits as an internal payment currency.
Use-Case
Credits system was formerly developed as an important sales and marketing tool. Here is one use-case:
– Credit bundles: 15, 30 and 60 Credits
– Product prices: 4, 9 and 13 Credits
In this combination it doesn’t matter how many products the customer buys, there will be some not used credits on the user account. This is a possible reason, why some users will buy the credits again and buy some new products.
