Customers get a self-service hub to track orders, earn reward points, and redeem coupons. Shop Managers get a vendor dashboard to manage products, respond to inquiries, and request sales payouts. Administrators get a full control center to manage users, balances, and withdrawals without touching WordPress admin.<\/p>\n\n<p>Portal Cloud 9 is the WooCommerce user dashboard your store needs to turn a plain My Account page into a fully featured customer account portal. Built mobile-first with a Glassmorphic design, it works as a complete multi-vendor marketplace solution right out of the box. Every feature is unlocked for free, no license key, no upsells, and no external connections required.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Why Portal Cloud 9?<\/h4>\n\n<p>Most WooCommerce stores send customers to the default My Account page \u2014 a plain, hard-to-use interface that drives people away. Portal Cloud 9 replaces it with a rich, role-aware WooCommerce customer dashboard that keeps customers engaged, rewards loyalty, and gives sellers the tools they need to manage their business without ever touching WordPress admin.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Reward Points System<\/h4>\n\n<p>The built-in reward points system works across all three roles from a single unified WooCommerce customer dashboard.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Customers<\/strong> earn points automatically on every completed order at a configurable rate. When ready, they convert points into WooCommerce coupon codes with a single click. The coupon is generated instantly, locked to their email, and valid for the number of days you configure. A live progress bar shows exactly how close they are to their next redemption threshold.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Shop Managers<\/strong> earn points based on product sales volume \u2014 every unit sold adds to their balance. When they accumulate enough they submit a cash withdrawal request specifying their preferred payment method (bank transfer, M-Pesa, PayPal, or other). Requests are held pending administrator approval and the full transaction history is visible in their dashboard.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Administrators<\/strong> have a full management console \u2014 search and filter all users by role, adjust points individually or in bulk, view lifetime stats (total issued, total redeemed, total expired), approve or reject seller withdrawal requests, configure all earning and redemption rates, import point adjustments from CSV via drag-and-drop, and manually trigger the points expiry check. The dashboard auto-detects the logged-in user's role and renders the correct interface automatically.<\/p>\n\n<h4>All Dashboard Sections<\/h4>\n\n<p><strong>Overview<\/strong> \u2014 Role-specific metrics, 7-day revenue chart for sellers, quick stats, and recent activity for customers.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Orders<\/strong> \u2014 Full order tracking with status filters, date range selection, search, detailed order modals, and bulk status updates.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Product Management<\/strong> \u2014 Add, edit, and manage products without WordPress admin. Automatic WebP conversion at 700x700px, rich text editor, inventory tracking, bulk operations, grid and list view.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Messaging \/ Inbox<\/strong> \u2014 Two-panel inbox with product-referenced conversations. Messages carry the product image, name, and price automatically. Real-time notifications and read\/unread status.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Reward Points<\/strong> \u2014 Role-aware loyalty WooCommerce customer dashboard (full details above).<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Visitor Analytics<\/strong> \u2014 Page views, unique visitors, traffic sources, and referrer breakdown. All data stored locally in your WordPress database.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Phone Contact Tracking<\/strong> \u2014 Every phone click on your product pages is recorded with summary cards and leaderboards.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Favorites<\/strong> \u2014 Customers save products to a Wishlist. Works for logged-out users with automatic post-login merge.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Cart<\/strong> \u2014 AJAX-powered instant updates, coupon management, stock checking, and mobile swipe-to-delete.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Account<\/strong> \u2014 Five tabs: Profile, Security, Addresses, Preferences, and Privacy.<\/p>\n\n<h4>User Roles<\/h4>\n\n<p>Portal Cloud 9 automatically detects the logged-in user's role and shows the correct dashboard.<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Administrators<\/strong> \u2014 Full access to all sections including Visitor Analytics, Reward Points admin console, and withdrawal approvals.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Shop Managers<\/strong> \u2014 Scoped dashboard showing their own products, orders, phone contacts, inbox, and seller Reward Points view.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Customers \/ Subscribers<\/strong> \u2014 Cart, orders, favourites, messaging, account, and customer Reward Points view.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>No License Required<\/h4>\n\n<p>All features are fully functional on the free plugin.
