FluentCart & FluentCommunity Points
Can FluentCart team consider adding feature which can provide discount for Products via FluentCommunity leaderboard Points? Or make some Credit System etc. Honestly I think points have huge unsused potential and are always overlooked. I think it can be big engagement boost for every community using FluentCart.
Actually, Easy Digital Downloads has an integration precisely for doing this with Gamipress.
I will leave this here just in case the team finds it handy for a possible feature request consideration (using FC points as credit): https://gamipress.com/add-ons/gamipress-edd-points-gateway/
I will also add a personal one: Affiliate commisions, that could be redeemed for discounts in the store products or alikes (like, discount on renewals). --> I think this could be a super nice feature for Fluent Affiliate).
Jorge de los Reyes good points as always Jorge
Jorge de los Reyes I am not fan of gamipress tbh. I will wait for native solution from FC or make my own solution.
Drive Zone 100% for native solution!
+1 This sounds like a great feature to boost community engagement!
Gamipress is a very bloated plugin...I have often installed and then uninstalled it as I found the plugin slowing down the speed of my site.
arjun arjun I have exactly same opinion
Drive Zone arjun arjun Same experience here.
That said, in my case those experiences were tied to projects running on fairly low-end hosting. Once we moved to a solid server setup, the experience was completely different.
I also agree that, in many cases, less is more. When it comes to points, rewards, and similar mechanics, I actually prefer the simpler approach Fluent Community takes over the huge number of options in GamiPress.
With GamiPress it’s very easy to end up spending more time configuring add-ons than thinking about the real goal: encouraging meaningful engagement. Simplicity often leads to a better experience for both administrators and users.
Jorge de los Reyes When FC has points system already I see no reason to not use it for this. Why make separate point system..
Drive Zone yeah, 100% agree. When I shared the GamiPress + EDD integration, it was just as inspiration for the team.
To be honest, I’m not looking for a GamiPress integration at all. 😄
