Choose Reward Loyalty if.

Limits to account for.

Questions buyers ask
Common questions.
Is WPLoyalty a standalone loyalty platform?
WPLoyalty is a WordPress plugin for WooCommerce. Its campaigns, customer records, rewards, and checkout experience sit inside that store environment.
Does Reward Loyalty connect to WooCommerce?
Yes. Reward Loyalty documents a WooCommerce REST API connection, point rules, order webhooks, and a points discount. It remains a separate application.
Which product fits a WooCommerce store without offline checkout?
WPLoyalty can keep the stack smaller when the whole program belongs inside WooCommerce. Reward Loyalty fits when the program also needs separate staff or multi-business workflows.
