WordPress Questions and Answers (CMA) - Integration - Granting Users Points For Answering (WordPress MicroPayments)

WordPress MicroPayments and WordPress Questions and Answers Integration

Back to User Guides

What is It?

It's possible to charge or top up user's digital wallets when they:

• post a question
• post an answer
• view an answer

And also top up their wallets when their answer is considered the best (thus resolving the thread).

This feature allows admins to reward top contributors for improving the quality of your WordPress discussion forum and provides an incentive for users to engage in the forum.

How does WordPress MicroPayments integrate with WordPress Questions and Answers?

After installing the WordPress MicroPayments, every registered user is given their own wallet. 

Then, after the quick setup of the external Payment Gateway and the currency, users can buy the virtual currency on your site and use it as if it was a prepaid credit card, and perform actions on your WordPress discussion forum. 

Micropayments for Questions and Answers - Question Form Change

Below you can see how the Question Form changes after adding and setting up the WordPress Questions and Answers.

Micropayments for Questions and Answers Settings

First, remember to assign points values and generate wallets for your users in the MicroPayments general settings! Authors will be charged or granted points according to criteria that you define in the Questions and Answers forum plugin settings under the MicroPayments tab in the plugin Settings. 

The admin can decide how many points to grant or charge a user for posting questions and answers. The admin can also disable the WordPress MicroPayments integration for either of these scenarios. 

Reward for the Best Answer

There are two options how to reward the best answer with a certain number of points when the author marks a question thread as "resolved." 

1) If the option Enable user to set points manually for the best answer is disabled, then the award for the best answer will have a value, that admin defines in the field Best answer reward amount of points.

2) If the option Enable user to set points manually for the best answer is enabled, then admin defines the value in the field Minimal amount of points to set manually, and the user can't set manually the reward less than it.

When the feature is enabled, a field Set points for the best answer to this question will be available while creating a question.

User Wallets

Each user can view his wallet at any given time and check all the transactions made with his wallet. 

The WordPress MicroPayments can also work with Easy Digital Downloads (EDD) and use the EDD checkout and payment gateways.
