About Shopper Rewards

From the official readme · v1.0.2

Description

Shopper Rewards is a lightweight and secure plugin that motivates your customers to add more items to their cart by showing them how close they are to unlocking a surprise reward — such as a discount, free shipping, or free products.

This plugin seamlessly integrates with the cart, checkout, and thank-you pages, offering a dynamic experience that boosts conversions and customer engagement.

✨ 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.
