RewardsWP – Transforming Your Customers into Brand Advocates
Andrew from AffiliateWP has just released RewardsWP, a new refer-a-friend plugin for WordPress that allows you to drive more sales through referral marketing aka word-of-mouth marketing.
RewardsWP

RewardsWP is a ground-breaking WordPress plugin designed specifically for businesses looking to implement an effective refer-a-friend program. The plugin integrates seamlessly with AffiliateWP, providing a comprehensive solution that doesn’t complicate existing affiliate programs, but rather enhances them. At the heart of RewardsWP is the intuitive Rewards Widget, which provides a streamlined interface for customers to refer friends and redeem rewards with minimal effort.
The platform is unique in that it automatically enrolls customers into the referral program after their first purchase, eliminating any unnecessary sign-up steps. The easy-to-use Invite tab allows customers to easily share their unique referral links via social media or email, while the Rewards tab provides a clear overview of earned rewards and easy redemption options.
One of the key benefits of RewardsWP is the clear distinction between referral marketing and affiliate marketing, where the former focuses on turning satisfied customers into brand advocates, while the latter engages professional marketers and content creators. The plugin manages all referral data within WordPress, providing complete control without relying on external platforms or complicated integrations.

RewardsWP supports several types of rewards, including monetary discounts, percentage-based offers, free shipping and product giveaways, all of which can be easily managed through the WordPress dashboard. To maintain engagement, RewardsWP features an automated email notification system that keeps both referrers and their friends informed throughout the referral process.
Security and fraud prevention are paramount in the design of RewardsWP, with built-in safeguards including email validation, duplicate detection and IP filtering to prevent abuse. The plugin works seamlessly with major e-commerce platforms such as WooCommerce and Easy Digital Downloads. With its customizable interface and robust feature set, RewardsWP is a powerful tool for businesses looking to harness the power of customer advocacy while maintaining complete control over their referral program.
