# WooCommerce loyalty launch checklist

Use this checklist before enabling points on a live store.

## Strategy

- [ ] Define the goal: repeat purchase, more reviews, higher AOV, or account creation.
- [ ] Decide who earns points first: all customers, only registered users, or a segment.
- [ ] Set one simple earn ratio before adding complexity.
- [ ] Decide whether points can stack with coupons.

## Store setup

- [ ] Activate the plugin on staging first.
- [ ] Pick the closest preset: starter, VIP, review growth, or agency handoff.
- [ ] Configure earn on completed orders.
- [ ] Configure signup bonus if account creation matters.
- [ ] Configure review reward if post-purchase reviews are a priority.
- [ ] Set redemption value at checkout.

## Ledger and support

- [ ] Verify the customer balance screen is understandable.
- [ ] Verify the local ledger records award and redeem events clearly.
- [ ] Write one support answer for "why did my points change?"
- [ ] Decide who on the team can manually adjust points.

## Testing

- [ ] Run one test order and confirm points are awarded.
- [ ] Run one signup test and confirm bonus logic.
- [ ] Run one approved review test if enabled.
- [ ] Redeem points at checkout and verify discount math.
- [ ] Test refund / cancellation workflow on staging.

## Launch

- [ ] Export the JSON configuration.
- [ ] Announce the program in account area, email or onsite banner.
- [ ] Measure 30-day repeat purchase rate.
- [ ] Review support tickets related to points after the first week.
