How Does the New EpassCard Onboarding Flow Work?
The new user onboarding flow is a guided setup wizard inside your WordPress admin. It helps you launch mobile passes in under five minutes. You can click Setup Wizard under EpassCard with zero code required.
Step 1: First, install and activate the plugin. Then, connect your account to get started. You can paste an API key from your EpassCard cloud dashboard. New users can create a free account right here in one click.
Step 2: Choose your use case with smart checks. The wizard scans for tools like WooCommerce or The Events Calendar. Badges show if each plugin is installed, activated, or ready.
Step 3: Complete your pass template mapping. Pick a starter template or choose a custom cloud design with ease. The wizard stops errors if an event or product is missing from WordPress.
Step 4: Verify your test pass right on your phone. Upload a 200×200 px logo and a wide 1125×432 px StoreCard banner. Scan the sample LYL-DEMO-001 QR code directly on your mobile screen.
Step 5: Launch your passes to the world. Add your Apple Wallet pass or Google Wallet pass right away. Your setup is now complete and ready for every real customer.
Introducing Built-in WooCommerce Loyalty Program in EpassCard
EpassCard now gives you a complete WooCommerce loyalty program inside your store; you can ditch the loyalty reward plugin now. It uses an immutable database ledger to protect every customer point. You never need heavy extra plugins to reward your shoppers.
- Smart Earning Rules and VIP Tiers: Set priority earning rules like welcome points or one point for every dollar spent. Tiers like Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum use lifetime points earned. Customers keep their VIP rank even after they spend points.
- Checkout Points Redemption and Backfill: Buyers can use points for checkout redemption on classic or WooCommerce Block checkouts. The default rate gives a one-dollar discount for every one hundred points. A smart backfill tool credits past completed orders in batches of 25 orders.
- In-Store Staff Barcode Lookup: Cashiers can use the staff barcode lookup tool at physical store checkout counters. Passes show a non-secret membership ID like EPC-0000000001 for safety. Your team checks live balances on the server with zero data leaks.
- Automated Lock Screen Notifications: Direct hooks to Apple Push Notification service and Google Wallet send real-time alerts. Shoppers receive lock screen notifications for points earned, point adjustments, and tier updates. An automated WP-Cron task sends friendly reminders thirty days before points expire.
