From version 6.4.8 of WatuPRO (with the Intelligence module installed) there is a new feature for paid quizzes:

It gives you a new level of flexibility allowing you to sell a fixed number of attempts on a quiz for a fee. Here are a few examples how it works:

• If you allow only one attempt on the quiz, a payment will allow a new attempt.
• If you allow for example 5 attempts, after the 5th attempt the quiz taker will again be shown the payment option and let them have another 5 attempts.
• If you allow 2 attempts per 24 hours and the quiz taker uses them, they can purchase another 2 attempts for the next 24 hours.
• If you have selected that the quiz can be re-taken only after at least 12 hours from the previous attempt, user who does not want to wait can pay and void the limitation.

This new flexible option will give you even more opportunities to monetize your quizzes.

The rewards are a good way to enhance participation in your site. When users complete quizzes, they collect points (these same points that you assign to question answers). Rewards can be purchased using the collected points. This can encourage your users to take quizzes (even paid ones) and get rewards.

Creating Rewards

Go to Manage Rewards under the WatuPRO Play menu link in your dashboard and create some rewards:

Each reward can be described by an image, content, media, just anything.

The rewards can be tangible (like a book, sweets, a t-shirt) or intangible (like an e-book, premium membership, etc.). Ideally you should enter quantity for tangible items so you don’t run out of them. But you can do it even for intangible ones to create scarcity.

How Do Users Redeem Rewards?

There are shortcodes you can use to publish a page with available rewards: [watuproplay-rewards table] to display the rewards in a table and [watuproplay-rewards column] to display them into a single column.

Publish one of these shortcodes either on a front-end page of your site or into the User Overview page which you can enable at the bottom of the main WatuPRO Play page in yoru administration.

Use the shortcode watuproplay-points to display the user’s available points balance so they know what rewards they can redeem.

The users will see the list of rewards and will be able to click on the “Redeem” button in case their points balance is enough.

The Process of Redeeming a Reward

Once the participant clicks on the Redeem button their points balance gets reduced with the cost of the reward. The reward is not redeemed automatically! It goes into pending status.

It’s recommended to create an on-screen message which will let the user know that their reward is going to be processed:

You, as an admin will actually ship the physical rewards, enable premium memberships. So you can use the email notification option on the Manage Rewards page to get an email when someone has redeemed a reward.

Once you have “shipped”, go to Manage Rewards page -> View and Ship Redeemed Rewards link -> Not delivered to see and mark these rewards as delivered:

User Rewards Page

In addition to the on-screen message you can enable a section showing the user what rewards they have redeemed along with their status – completed or pending. Use the shortcode watuproplay-userrewards to display such a table. You can do it on a page on the front-end of the site, or inside the User Overview box so it will be shown in the dashboard.

Some of the attributes of the quizzes in WatuPRO can be overwritten directly by passing shortcode parameters to the main watupro shortcode. When this is done, they have priority over the settings you have chosen in “Edit Quiz” page.

This allows you to publish multple versions of the same quiz in different pages of your site, if for some reason you need this. (Note that the automated links that are created in My Quizzes pages and the shortcodes which show lists of quizzes will randomly link to one of the versions. If this is undesired you should create copies of the quiz instead).

Here are the attributes which can currently be overwritten:

difficulty_level – To show only questions from the given difficulty level. Example usage: [watupro 5 difficulty_level=”Easy”]

category_id – to show only questions from selected category ID

tags – to limit questions per tag. Multiple tags can be passed, separated by comma.

pull_random – to pull X random questions from the quiz.

random_per_category – to pull X random questions per question category.

time_limit – to set a time limit in minutes, decimals allowed.

pagination – to overwrite the pagination setting of the quiz. Possible values (numeric):

• 0 – each question on its own page
• 1 – all questions on one page
• 2 – one page per question category
• 3 – custom number of questions per page. In this case also set the attribute custom_per_page to the number that you want. Example: [watupro 5 pagination=3 custom_per_page=10]

require_login – 0 or 1 to force require login off or on regardless of the quiz setting

show_last_result=1 – passing this attribute will make the quiz page show the last quiz result if the logged in user has already completed the quiz at least once. At the bottom of their result they will see a “Try again” button. Clicking on that button allows retaking the quiz.
