Introducing NorrCompetition User Points: Monetize Your Voting Contests
We are excited to announce NorrCompetition User Points — a new product designed to help you monetize your voting contests through a flexible points-based system integrated directly into NorrCompetition.
Allow users to submit entries, vote, or remove votes using points. These points can be purchased through popular Joomla eCommerce extensions, turning user engagement into a scalable revenue stream.
Built-in Points System in NorrCompetition
NorrCompetition includes a built-in points system that allows you to assign point values to specific user actions within voting contests.
For example, you can configure the system to deduct 1 point for voting or 100 points for submitting an entry. If a user does not have enough points in their balance, a warning message will be displayed, such as:
“Insufficient points. This action requires 2 points, current balance is 0. Top up balance.”
Point rules can also be configured individually for each contest, giving you full flexibility to adapt monetization settings to different competition types.
No Additional Points or Membership Extensions Required
NorrCompetition User Points uses the built-in points system of NorrCompetition, so there is no need to install separate points management extensions such as AltaUserPoints, or additional subscription or membership components to control contest actions.
All point rules and user balances are managed directly within NorrCompetition, providing a simpler setup, fewer dependencies, and a more streamlined administrator experience.
To enable point purchases and monetize your contests, a supported Joomla eCommerce extension and its payment plugins are still required. NorrCompetition User Points connects directly to these shopping cart solutions, allowing purchased points to be automatically credited to the user's balance.
Monetization Through Joomla eCommerce Integration
To enable full monetization, users need the ability to purchase points and receive proper invoices. This is achieved through integration with supported Joomla eCommerce extensions.
Simply create a product in your shopping cart tied to a specific number of NorrCompetition points. After successful payment, the purchased points are automatically added to the user's balance.
NorrCompetition User Points integrates with popular Joomla eCommerce extensions, allowing users to purchase points and automatically credit them to their contest balance after successful payment.
Explore supported integrations, pricing, and full product details on the NorrCompetition User Points product page.
This approach combines the flexibility of NorrCompetition with the trusted payment, invoicing, and order management features of established Joomla eCommerce platforms.
Turn User Engagement Into Revenue
NorrCompetition User Points transforms your contest platform into a revenue-generating system, allowing you to monetize participation in a simple and professional way.
Whether you want to offer paid voting, charge for submissions, or create premium participation models, User Points gives you the tools to build sustainable and profitable voting projects.
Note: This pack requires NorrCompetition 3.0 or later to work.
