About Shopper Rewards
From the official readme · v1.0.2Description

✨ Features
- Dynamic Progress Bar – Displays how much more the customer needs to spend to unlock a reward.
- Surprise Discount or Free Shipping – Automatically apply or show a reward once the spending threshold is reached.
- Custom Messages & Labels – Fully customizable messages before and after the unlock.
- Thank-You Page Integration – Show personalized badges or WhatsApp contact buttons after checkout.
- Responsive & Lightweight – 100% responsive design with no unnecessary bloat.
- Secure & Compatible – Built following WordPress and WooCommerce coding standards.
🎯 Purpose
The goal of Shopper Rewards is to increase average order value (AOV) by motivating users to reach a target threshold in their shopping cart.
Once a customer adds enough items to meet the target, they instantly unlock a surprise reward, creating a fun and rewarding shopping experience.
Security Notes
- All user inputs are sanitized using WordPress functions (
sanitize_text_field,esc_html,esc_attr,wp_kses_post). - Nonces are used for form submissions to prevent CSRF attacks.
- Proper escaping and translation functions (
esc_html__,esc_attr__, etc.) are used throughout. - No external API calls or user data tracking is performed.
