How to set up the Punch Card plugin
Reward repeat customers with a punch card. Users earn rewards by collecting stamps; store owners manage punches via QR codes or manually.
The Punch Card plugin helps you drive repeat business by letting users collect virtual punches toward a reward. Once a user reaches the total number of punches, they can claim a reward set by the business. This plugin supports both user and business views and includes QR scanning, manual punch entry, and full customization.
