HDWebmobile Loyalty Points & Store Credit

Description

HDWebmobile Loyalty Points & Store Credit rewards customers with points for every completed order, which they can redeem for a discount on a future purchase. Customers see their balance and full history on a new “Loyalty Points” tab in their account.

Security by design

Store credit and coupon tools hold real monetary value, so broken access control in them (CWE-284) can let attackers generate high-value credit through insufficient authorization checks — forging value that was never actually earned. A points balance is exactly the same kind of value, and needs the same discipline. This plugin closes that vulnerability class by construction:

• There is no “balance” field anywhere that gets directly written. Every award, redemption, and admin adjustment is a signed row in an append-only ledger table, and a customer’s balance is always the live sum of their own rows — never a cached number that could drift or be overwritten by a bad request.
• Every redemption re-checks the customer’s current live balance at the exact moment of redemption, both when the discount is shown in the cart and again when the order is actually created — never a points figure the checkout form sent back to the server.
• Every earn and redemption is tied to a specific order and only ever happens once for that order, so a page refresh, retried request, or duplicate status-change event can never double-award or double-redeem.
• If an order is later cancelled, refunded, or fails, any points it awarded or redeemed are automatically reversed — so a cancelled order can never leave a customer with free points, or a lost balance, on the books.
• Manual adjustments (for customer service) always record which admin made the change.

Key Features

• Configurable points-earning rate (points per currency unit spent) and the order status that triggers earning
• Configurable redemption rate (points required per currency unit of discount), a minimum-points-to-redeem threshold, and a maximum percentage of any single order that can be paid with points
• A simple redemption box on the cart page showing the customer’s live balance, with an amount they can apply as a discount
• “Loyalty Points” tab in My Account showing current balance and full transaction history
• Automatic point reversal on cancelled, refunded, or failed orders
• Admin manual adjustment tool (grant or deduct points for a specific customer by email) plus a recent-activity ledger view, both under WooCommerce > HDWebmobile

Limitations (please read before installing)

• Points can only be earned by logged-in customers with an account — guest checkouts don’t accrue points, since there’s no account to credit them to
• No expiry date on points in this version
• The cart redemption box uses a plain form submission (not AJAX) — applying or removing a redemption reloads the cart page

How to Use

1. Customers earn points automatically

As soon as an order reaches the configured “earning” status (Completed, by default), the customer’s account is credited with points based on the order total. Nothing else to configure.

2. Customers redeem points on the cart page

Once a customer has enough points (the configured minimum), a box appears on the cart page showing their balance and an amount to redeem. Applying it adds a discount, capped at the configured maximum percentage of the order.

3. Customers track their balance

“Loyalty Points” appears in the My Account menu, showing the current balance and a full history of every point earned, redeemed, or adjusted.

4. Customer service adjustments

Under WooCommerce > HDWebmobile > Loyalty Points, an admin can grant or deduct points for any customer by email, with a note — useful for compensating a delayed order or correcting an issue.
