About this tool.
5bucks is a set of small modules for a WooCommerce shop: loyalty points, discounts, affiliates, a cash on delivery fee, privacy requests and product costs. Each one does one job, is switched on from its own page under the 5bucks menu, and costs nothing while it is off. Switch on only what your shop needs.
Loyalty points
A complete points programme, with no limits on members or points: reward your customers with points they can spend at checkout for an amount off. Customers earn points on paid orders, at the rate you set for every amount spent, guests included: a guest’s points follow their order’s email address, and come to their account once WooCommerce confirms that address (WooCommerce 11 or later; otherwise staff merge the two on the Members screen). Once you switch spending on, customers with an account spend them on the classic checkout and the block checkout alike, and a refund gives them back.
Customers see what a product, the cart and their order earn; the points an order earned on its thank-you page and in its emails, with a link to a balance page that needs no login; and their points and history under My Account > Points, where they can also stop earning. Staff find every member, with their balance and history, adjust points with a reason, merge two members, and export the members and every points movement as CSV. Start in shadow mode, which records points on real orders while customers see nothing, then switch to live.
Discounts
Discounts that grow the order: for a number of items in the cart ( 8 items or more, 15% off ), for several of the same product ( buy 3 or more, 10% off each ), or for a cart total ( 10% off from €40 ), as a percentage or an amount, with steps if you like ( 5% from 4 items, 10% from 6, 15% from 8 ). Each can run on a schedule, and for some products or categories only. A box in the cart tells customers how much more reaches the discount (“Add 2 more and get 15% off!”), a bar across the top of the shop and a line on product pages say so too, on the classic cart and checkout and on the block ones. The same box can say how much more gets WooCommerce’s Free shipping (“Spend €12.40 more for free shipping.”). Try a discount in Shadow mode first: it is worked out on real orders while customers see nothing, and Test a cart shows what any cart would get.
Affiliates
Run your own affiliate programme, with no outside service and no platform fees. Add the people who send you customers, bloggers and others, each with a link that ends with their code ( ?ref=maria ) and, if you like, a coupon of yours, a start and an end. A visitor who follows the link and buys within the days you set, or uses the coupon, on the classic or the block checkout, places an order that names the affiliate.
Each affiliate has their own terms: a percentage of the order or an amount per order, what a percentage is taken of, and whether their own orders and a customer’s later ones count. Once the order is paid it earns them a commission, owed after the order is completed and a holding period for returns; cancellations and refunds take their share back. The Payouts tab lists what each affiliate is owed with their payment details: you pay them yourself, mark it paid with the transfer’s reference, undo a mistake and export the list as CSV. Reports show their visits, orders, sales and commissions over a period. An affiliate with a customer account sees their link, a link builder, their numbers and commissions under My Account, and types their payment details there.
