Two corrections change how many points new orders award. Points are now calculated on the order subtotal, as documented, so tax and shipping no longer earn. Multi-currency stores were also calculating in the wrong currency. Balances are untouched. NeoGrow has moved to Marketing > NeoGrow.<\/p>","1.1.0":"
Important security and billing fix. Review photo uploads now require a logged-in user, and points are no longer over-deducted when more points are redeemed than the cart is worth. Update as soon as possible.<\/p>","1.0.1":"
NeoGrow helps a WooCommerce store sell more without cutting its prices.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n It does that with the two things that actually move revenue: the reviews that convince a stranger to place a first order, and the loyalty points that bring that customer back for a second one. One plugin owns both, on your own store, for free.<\/p>\n\n Picture a shopper comparing your product with a cheaper one somewhere else. The cheaper page has no reviews. Yours has forty, several with photographs. Most people pay the difference, because forty strangers with nothing to gain are more persuasive than any product description you could write.<\/p>\n\n That is the whole idea. Your price can be undercut tomorrow morning. Your reputation cannot be copied at all.<\/p>\n\n 1. It gets you the reviews that do the selling.<\/strong>\nCustomers will happily photograph what they bought \u2014 they just need a reason to bother. NeoGrow pays them in points for a review, and pays more for one with a photo. Published research from Northwestern University's Spiegel Research Center found a product showing five reviews was 270% more likely to be purchased than the same product showing none, and that the lift was larger on higher-priced products than on cheap ones. Reviews are worth more to you the more you charge.<\/p>\n\n 2. It gets you the second order.<\/strong>\nRoughly a quarter of first-time customers ever come back on their own. A points balance waiting in the basket is a concrete reason to return, and the second order is the one that matters: once a customer has ordered twice, the odds of a third rise sharply. Points are shown on the product page before the sale, and spent right in the basket \u2014 the customer enters how many to use and the discount comes off the subtotal \u2014 because a reward nobody spends buys you nothing.<\/p>\n\n 3. It stops you competing on price.<\/strong>\nDiscounting takes margin off every order, permanently, and any competitor can match it. A library of real reviews takes effort once per product and cannot be copied. NeoGrow is how you build that library on purpose rather than hoping for it.<\/p>\n\n 4. It costs nothing to run, at any size.<\/strong>\nHosted review and loyalty platforms charge by review requests sent, contacts stored, or minutes of video kept \u2014 so a good year raises your bill. NeoGrow is free and unlimited. Ten customers or ten thousand, the price is the same.<\/p>\n\n More on the research behind this, with sources: Why product reviews matter more than price in WooCommerce<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n Nothing sits between the review and the reward.<\/strong>\nElsewhere this takes two plugins wired together: one collects reviews, the other hands out points and watches for them. That join is fragile, and when it quietly breaks you find out from a customer who was promised points and never got them. NeoGrow does both jobs itself, so there is no join to break.<\/p>\n\n You keep everything if you stop.<\/strong>\nReviews, photos and every point balance sit in your own database. There is no account to create and no company holding a copy, so there is no month where cancelling a subscription empties your product pages. A hosted platform cannot offer this, because holding the data is what it is.<\/p>\n\n Growing does not cost you more.<\/strong>\nUnlimited reviews, unlimited photo uploads, unlimited points, no per-contact pricing and no licence key. Software running on your own store has nothing to meter.<\/p>\n\n It gives away what you meant to give away.<\/strong>\nPoints are earned on the order subtotal, so tax and postage never inflate what you hand out. On a multi-currency store the order converts through the exchange rate that order actually used, so you are not overpaying customers in one country and underpaying them in another. Each of those is pinned by tests \u2014 and each is a bill you would otherwise pay quietly for years.<\/p>\n\nWhat it does for your revenue<\/h3>\n\n
Why NeoGrow rather than a monthly subscription<\/h3>\n\n
