Forum Shop for payment to Users

Postby JASPREET » 07 Jun 2022, 08:06

For the past few years, I have noticed that some of the forums are introducing Forum Shop so users can select how they like to get paid or it's more like what would they like to buy with their accumulated earnings, and from there they can purchase the item they like and pay in their forum currency and receive that particular thing or payment.

Do you like this feature added by some of the forums?

I know many forums that are using this. I feel they can use this for exchanging coins to local currency and other use cases as well.

We used to have a shop on the Christian forum I run, but no one used it. It wasn't very intuitive and my members aren't technically inclined so it was difficult explaining to them how to purchase a name change or whatever. So, when we converted from vBulletin to XenForo, we eliminated the shop all together. No one missed it.

I like the feature depending on what's in the store. In some of them we can find things you wouldn't see otherwise. Sometimes it's just something particular to the forum or another little item that you find cute.

I think it is a good way since you can choose what you want. Although am not sure how some forums looked like in the past I like that idea. I haven't seen such an option on forum coin but as long as you get paid for me it is still good.

I think this depends on the admin but I like it as you make use of the payment options that are available on the site so it will be a welcomed development I believe

Forum shop might work here too as Fergal also wants to set up some affiliate, this might be a step for same.

It will be useful but earlier there was a website that was paying promptly in 10 seconds after requesting for payment but it's closed now

I have this with my general discussion forum although with virtual items and not giftcards etc. It's a good way to encourage your users to post a bit more to get things they like on the forum. Just adds a bit of fun I guess
