myCRED is an adaptive points management system that lets you build a broad range of point related applications for your WordPress powered website.
Store reward systems, community leaderboards, online banking or monetizing your websites content, these are some of the ways you can use myCRED.


= Points =

Each user on your WordPress websites gets their own point balance which you can manually [adjust](https://mycred.me/about/features/#points-management) at any time. As of version 1.4, myCRED also supports [multiple point types](https://mycred.me/about/features/#multiple-point-types) for those who need more then one type of points on their website.


= Log =

Each time myCRED adds or deducts points from a user, the adjustment is [logged](https://mycred.me/about/features/#account-history) in a dedicated log, allowing your users to browse their history. The log is also used to provide you with statistics, accountability, badges, ranks and to enforce limits you might set.


= Awarding or Deducting Points Automatically =

myCRED supports a vast set of ways you can automatically give / take points from a user. Everything from new comments to store purchases. These automatic adjustments are managed by so called [Hooks](https://mycred.me/about/features/#automatic-points) which you can setup in your admin area.


= Third-party plugin Support =

myCRED supports some of the most [popular plugins](https://mycred.me/about/supported-plugins/) for WordPress like BuddyPress, WooCommerce, Jetpack, Contact Form 7 etc. To prevent to much cluttering in the admin area with settings, myCRED will only show features/settings for third-party plugins that are installed and enabled.


= Add-ons =

There is so much more to myCRED then just adjusting balances. The plugin comes with several [built-in add-ons](https://mycred.me/add-ons/) which enabled more complex features such as allowing point transfers, buying points for real money, allow payments in stores etc.


= Documentation =

You can find extensive [documentation](http://codex.mycred.me/) on everything myCRED related in the myCRED Codex. You can also find a list of [frequently asked](https://mycred.me/about/faq/) questions on the myCRED website.


= Customizations =

myCRED was not built to "do-it-all". Instead a lot of effort has been made to make the plugin as developer friendly as possible. If you need a custom feature built, you can submit a [request for a quote](https://mycred.me/customize/request-quote/) via the myCRED website.


= Code Snippets =

The most commonly asked customizations for myCRED are available as code snippets on the [myCRED website](https://mycred.me/code-snippets/), free to use by anyone.


= Support =

I provide free support via the myCRED website if you can't get myCRED to work as described in the documentation. I do not offer support here on the wordpress.org support forum or via social media sites. You can also ask questions in the community forum to fellow myCRED users.
