Why makes WooCommerce Multilevel Referral Plugin different?

• Compatible with the latest WordPress and WooCommerce versions, it can be easily configured from WooCommerce settings.
• Level Based Credit system where store owners can assign different percentage for the referrers of each different level.
• Binary MLM networks keeps a track of downline incomes & expenses.
• At any point of time, you have the freedom to enable or disable the level-based credit system. If you choose to enable the level-based credit system, you can also set the maximum number of levels
• The commission can be awarded using two separate methods in the Level Based Credit System –
  • Product price wherein direct product price will be used to calculate commission for each level.
  • Commission/Credit in which the Referral Plugin will first calculate the commission/credit in accordance to the globally set percentage. Then, that percentage will be used to calculate the commission/credit for each level.
  • Store owner can set different discount percentage for a customer who is coming directly and who comes through a referral link.
• We have given you the option to choose from 3 store credit percentage –
  • Globally (applied on all products except those not included in referral program)
  • Category level (a set of class – men’s wear, women’s wear or children’s wear)
  • Product specific (on a particular product).
• Percentage specified on a product-specific category will be given highest precedence. If the product level percentage is undefined, then the category level percentage will be applied.
  The priority followed is, product-specific > category level > global percentage.
• If a particular product has multiple categories (for instance, a unisex shirt), the store owner is given the accessibility to choose whether the lowest or highest percentage should be applied from the plugin settings.
• Where other plugins are only showing you a record of registrations, we give you more accessibility and details on a dashboard within the Admin panel. See a complete list of registered users, their hierarchy, points earned and sort them using various filters.
• In the prior version, welcome credit points were only awarded to newly registered members. But on the insistence of our plug-in users, the administrator now has the flexibility to award benefits of welcome credits even to existing customers on their first purchase.
• Give your customers the choice to join or not join the referral program by using our auto/manual join option. Manual joining sends a message to the user if he wishes to become a part of the referral program whereas auto join automatically makes the user, a member.
• Do you feel some of your products are too remarkable? Don’t wish to add them in any category? No worries. Admin has the flexibility to exclude products from the referral program.
• Administrator can also set monthly credit limit as well as monthly redemption limit.
• The Plugin also allows the registered website users to join the referral program.
• We understand users need an equal leverage to join. Therefore, registered members can see their earned and redeemed credit point on the dashboard within their account. Moreover, for user ease, they can also invite others just by entering their email address.
• Administrator can set a validity period for credit points after which the points collected will expire. He/she can also use email templates (designed by us) to send to the users reminding them of the points in their basket as well as the period of expiry coming near.
• Receiving a reminder email from the store owner will set your credibility and impress the clients. This will help you in positive publicity and give the user enough time to take appropriate action before the credits expire.
• Along with credit expiry email, we also provide various other email templates to customize for your convenience.
• We also offer fully customizable 8 vibrant referral invite banners to promote the referral program to your users.
