Wordpress Plugins Mycred 4.8 (1.4K reviews)
cashCred PayPal is a WordPress plugin that connects the myCRED rewards system to real PayPal payouts. It works as an addon, so you first need myCRED installed and active on your site. Once the two are connected, your users earn myCRED points for whatever actions you choose—posting in a forum, leaving a comment, making a purchase, or referring a friend. Those points can then be exchanged for actual money sent to their PayPal account. The plugin sits between your existing engagement system and PayPal, turning abstract loyalty points into something with real-world value. It does not replace myCRED or require users to install anything extra; everything happens within your WordPress dashboard and your users' existing PayPal accounts. Admins decide how many points equal a dollar, set minimum payout thresholds, and choose whether to approve each payout manually or let the plugin send money automatically the moment a user redeems. Every transaction is recorded in the WordPress database for later review.
Setting up the plugin takes a few steps. You upload and activate cashCred PayPal, then enter your PayPal API credentials under myCRED > Settings > Payments. From there, you define reward rules—choosing which myCRED actions can be redeemed for cash and how much each redemption is worth. Users see a clear redemption interface on the front end, where they can request a payout once their balance reaches the minimum you set. If you enable automated payouts, the plugin sends money through PayPal's API without any manual work. The manual option lets you review each request and approve or deny it directly from the payout logs. This flexibility suits sites that want instant rewards as well as those that prefer a human check before money changes hands. Recent payouts and pending requests appear in the admin dashboard, making it easy to track what has been paid out and to whom. Thanks to the responsive design, users can request payouts from any device.
This plugin is built specifically as an extension of myCRED, so it doesn't function without that plugin. It requires PHP 7.0 or higher and works with current releases of WordPress. Money transfers are handled through PayPal's Instant Payment Notification system and API, which means the plugin never directly processes card details; PayPal manages the financial side. API credentials are stored securely, and the plugin uses standard authentication methods for outgoing requests. Developers who want to customize the addon can take advantage of the hooks and filters built into the code, allowing them to adjust behavior without modifying the core plugin files. All payout records, user balances, and pending requests are stored in your WordPress database, so you always have a local history of what has been sent. That local record makes it easier to reconcile transactions or debug an issue if a payout fails. Because it is GPL-licensed, you have full source code access and can modify it freely.

For site owners, this plugin creates a direct line between user activity and tangible payment. A community forum can reward members for helpful replies; a blog can pay readers for comments and social shares; an online store can offer cash back on purchases; an affiliate program can pay out commissions automatically into PayPal accounts. The same mechanism works for contests and giveaways—either as automated winnings or manually approved prizes. Because the site owner controls which actions accumulate points and how those points convert to cash, the plugin can be shaped to suit a wide range of business models. Users get a clear reason to participate beyond badges or virtual currency, since the points they collect have a stated dollar value and can be withdrawn. That clarity tends to make the reward feel more substantial than an abstract point count, which helps keep members returning to your site regularly. You can also run several reward campaigns at once from one dashboard.
