Nonprofit should use whatever solution fits. Not a good fit? #WordPress plugin company greatly upping cost. For #nonprofits every $$$ is precious
Mainly why @wpcharitable is MUCH less (some white glove customers just paid ~$50) and we have a free plugin.

We've put the real RewardsWP rewards widget in a live demo, so you can click through it the way your customers would.
RewardsWP is our loyalty and referral plugin for WooCommerce and Easy Digital Downloads. In the demo you can sign up, earn and spend points, refer a friend and explore VIP Tiers, all with sample data.
Here's the demo. What would you name the reward points in your store?

Last week, my company @AwesomeMotive acquired a popular free WordPress plugin WP Crontrol.
My primary goal was to give this incredibly useful plugin a good home because we use it ourselves, and I have a lot of respect for John Blackbourn (original creator).
WP Crontrol will remain free forever.
As part of our commitment, in today's release, we just added all the previously Pro features in the Free version including Cron Logs, Cron Alerts, and newly added Cron AI.

Yes all users will now get all the Pro features for free.
Thank you for your trust and continued support 🙏🏻
This week we added AI assistant management to AffiliateWP. Now RewardsWP has it too.
Connect Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client and ask things like:
- Which customers have 1,000+ points and have never redeemed?
- Who referred the most friends last month?
- Why didn't order #5120 earn points?
- What would 500 points for $5 off cost me if everyone redeemed?
ALT Five members at Oak & Linen have over 1,000 unspent points. Priya Nair leads with 2,340 points, followed by others with varying totals.
Setup is through WPVibe or StoreAgent, both free. By default the AI can only read your data. It can't change anything until you turn on write access.
Here's how it works:

Your best customers should feel like VIPs.
Last week we released VIP Tiers in RewardsWP Pro. Bronze, Silver, Gold, or whatever you want to call them.
Each tier can give a points multiplier, an entry reward the moment they reach it (a coupon, free shipping, a free product or bonus points), and perks you choose.
Customers see exactly how far they are from the next tier, which gives them a reason to keep shopping with you.
ALT Silver tier rewards display progress towards Gold tier, highlighting benefits like double points, early sales access, and a free shipping coupon.
You can now manage AffiliateWP from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any other MCP client.
Ask for your top affiliates, pending applications or payouts due. Approve, reject or update affiliates without opening the dashboard.
Connect it through WPVibe from @johnturner or StoreAgent from @jkohlbach, both free, and manage your site and your affiliate program from the same chat.
ALT Top five affiliates for September on Oak & Linen listed with earnings, referrals, and visits. Maya Chen earned the most.

WPVibe just passed 70,000 active installs on WordPress.org. Last week it was 60,000.
What people do with it is simple. They open ChatGPT or Claude, ask for something on their WordPress site, and it gets done. Publish a post. Fix a page. Update a plugin. Anything risky waits for their approval first.
No new dashboard to learn. Your AI just learned WordPress.
Thank you to everyone who installed it, left a review, or sent us a bug report. 4.97 out of 5 on WordPress.org is something I don't take for granted.

Today we're launching ChatGPT for WooCommerce.
Connect the ChatGPT or Claude you already pay for to your store, and it does actual store work. Product descriptions, tags, alt text, pulling up orders, telling you what's running low. All in plain English.
No second AI subscription. Nothing to install locally.
You pick read-only or read and write when you connect, and there's a list in the settings where you turn each ability on or off individually. Anything that makes changes is off until you switch it on
It's free on every plan, including Lite.
Unlike the other "ChatGPT for X" posts in your feed this week, this one's a plugin you can use today.
See below 👇

SaveTo Wishlist Lite just ticked over 500 active sites on WordPress.org
Tiny number next to our older plugins... Wholesale Suite and Advanced Coupons are both sitting at 20,000+. But those had years of head start. This one launched from zero, no audience, into one of the most crowded categories in WooCommerce
500 stores is where it stops being a spreadsheet thing. Real shops, real shoppers saving products, real support tickets lol
Next stop 1,000

WPVibe.ai just passed 20k active installs 😍🚀
It's incredible to see users connecting their WordPress site with their favorite AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and others and unlocking a whole new way of building & managing sites.
If you've not given it a try yet, you're really missing out.
AI + WordPress unlocks a whole new level of flexibility and power that no other platform can match.
You can start for free at WPVibe.ai
Huge props to @johnturner and team on how fast we're moving.
Your affiliates can now get paid in 90+ countries, straight to their bank account. Easy peasy.

Today, we're introducing Claude for WordPress.
Just connect your site and the Claude you already pay for runs the whole thing. Posts, media, SEO, themes, even the theme files. All in plain English.
No second AI subscription. Nothing to install locally.
Unlike the other "Claude for X" posts in your feed this week, this one's an actual plugin you can use today.
See below 👇
For the new activity panel in RewardsWP, we added a subtle fade at the top and bottom of the feed.
There's a UX concept called the "illusion of completeness." People assume what they see on screen is all there is. If there's no visual cue, they won't scroll.
The fade quietly tells customers there's more data above and below.
Congrats to all, another great acquisition. And of course, go join the aThemes affiliate program, powered by @affwp 🏆
