myCred SMS Payments

For myCred-powered sites, point management can extend beyond logged-in website visits. The plugin lets members send text message commands to check their balance or transfer points to another member. It connects these SMS interactions to the site's myCred points system through Twilio, giving communities and loyalty programs a way to handle point activity by phone.

Administrators can set transfer limits, offer a window for canceling transfers, and choose whether to send confirmation messages. Recipient details in commands can use a user ID, login, or email address. Transfer activity and cancellations are logged in myCred, and outgoing replies can be customized within the stated 160-character limit.

Features

• Transfer points by text: Members can send points to other members through SMS commands, without logging in to the website to make a transfer.
• Check point balances: Members can request their current myCred point balance by text message, making account information available through SMS.
• Twilio messaging: The plugin uses Twilio for SMS messaging and supports phone number verification for its text-based point features.
• Transfer confirmations: Administrators can choose to send users a confirmation text after a point transfer, providing a record of the transaction.
• Cancellation window: Set a timeframe during which a user can cancel a point transfer, giving members a chance to reverse a transfer.
• Transfer limits: The plugin works with the myCred Transfer add-on to follow its preset boundaries for point transfers.
• Transaction logs: Transfers and cancellations are recorded in myCred, giving site administrators a way to review point activity.
