About myCred

myCred is a points and gamification plugin for WordPress and WooCommerce, maintained by WPExperts and its founder Saad Iqbal. Site owners use it to award points for actions people take, run badges and ranks, reward referrals, and build loyalty programmes for online stores. The core plugin is free on WordPress.org, with paid add-ons sold through mycred.me.

What can you build with myCred?

The building block is a points balance. You decide which actions earn points, such as signing up, commenting, completing a course step or buying something, and myCred awards them automatically.

You can run more than one point type at once, for example loyalty points for purchases and a separate reputation score for community activity. Badges mark milestones, and ranks move people up levels as their totals grow. Referral rewards credit people for bringing in new users.

The cashCred feature lets people convert points into cash, which suits programmes where points are a real reward rather than just a score.

How does it work with WooCommerce?

myCred integrates with WooCommerce so store owners can attach point rewards to products and reward customers for buying. Combined with ranks and badges, that turns a plain store into a loyalty programme without a separate loyalty service.

Because it lives inside WordPress, customer balances sit alongside their normal store accounts, and there is no outside platform to sync.

Dashboard, widgets and blocks

The myCred Dashboard is the central place to monitor points, badges and ranks across the site. On the front end, the Loyalty Widget shows people their balance and progress.

The plugin ships with more than 45 Gutenberg blocks for adding balances, leaderboards and similar elements to pages. There is also an AI Assistant that takes instructions in plain language for managing tasks in the plugin.

Popularity and requirements

On WordPress.org, myCred has more than 10,000 active installations and a 4.6 out of 5 rating from 471 reviews, as of October 2026. The current version is 3.2.6. It needs WordPress 4.8 or later and PHP 7.0 or later.

The official site is mycred.me, where the add-ons and paid plans are listed.

What does it cost?

The core plugin is free. Extra functionality comes through add-ons and paid plans on mycred.me. Prices change, so check the pricing page there rather than relying on a figure copied elsewhere.

A practical approach is to build the programme on the free core first, then buy only the add-ons that a real gap calls for.

Who should choose something else?

If your site is not on WordPress, myCred is not an option, since it runs entirely inside WordPress.

Retailers that need one loyalty programme across physical shops, apps and several online channels may be better served by a hosted loyalty platform that connects to all of them, rather than a plugin tied to one site.

And if all you need is a one-off discount for returning customers, a coupon will do the job with far less setup. myCred earns its keep when points, ranks and rewards are a deliberate part of how the site keeps people coming back.
