Registered users can complete administrator-configured shortlink campaigns, receive rewards after a verified completion flow, track balances in an internal ledger, invite referrals, and submit withdrawal requests. The plugin is designed specifically for shortlink-based rewards. It does not require WooCommerce and does not add a timed faucet or PTC advertising system. #### Main features * Shortlink campaign management with rewards, daily limits, cooldowns, priority, and enable/disable controls. * Configurable shortlink providers plus direct/custom shortlink templates. * Secure claim tokens and claim-status tracking. * User dashboard with balances, available shortlinks, recent activity, and quick actions. * Internal wallet and transaction ledger. * Withdrawal request workflow with configurable minimum amount, fee, and enabled methods. * Deposit records and administrator-managed gateway configuration. * Up to three referral commission levels with configurable percentages. * User and referral administration. * Security-event records, account suspension controls, minimum account age, and claim limits. * Reports for claims, rewards, referrals, deposits, and withdrawals. * CSV export tools for supported administrative records. * Editable Terms, Privacy Policy, FAQ, Contact content, landing-page text, logo, and accent color. * Cron/system diagnostics and database health information. * Responsive plugin frontend and a dedicated WordPress administration interface. #### How shortlink claims work 1. An administrator creates a shortlink campaign and selects a configured provider or a direct/custom URL template. 2. A logged-in user starts an available campaign. 3. The plugin creates a time-limited claim record and completion token. 4. For an API-based provider, WordPress makes a server-side request to the configured provider to create the short URL. 5. The user is redirected to the generated shortlink. 6. A reward is credited only when the plugin receives a valid completion request for the claim and the claim passes the configured checks. Shortlink providers determine what happens on their own websites. Site administrators are responsible for choosing providers whose terms, advertising practices, privacy practices, and local-law requirements are appropriate for their site and users. #### Payments and gateways The plugin contains administration fields and workflow records for FaucetPay, Cwallet, NOWPayments, manual withdrawals, and administrator-managed/direct deposits. Availability of an automatic transaction depends on the API implementation and capabilities enabled by the applicable provider. Version 1.0.0 should not be interpreted as guaranteeing automatic payout or deposit support for every third-party service. Where an automatic API action is not implemented or configured, the plugin records the request for administrator processing. #### External services LinkLume Shortlink Rewards can communicate with third-party services only when a site administrator configures and uses those services. No shortlink provider is required for WordPress itself to activate the plugin. When an API-based shortlink provider is configured, the plugin sends a server-side HTTP request to the API endpoint entered by the administrator. Depending on that provider’s configuration, the request can include: * The provider API key/token entered by the administrator. * The destination/completion URL needed to create the shortlink. * An optional alias when alias support is enabled. The provider can receive the requesting site’s server information as part of a normal HTTP request. The plugin then reads the provider response to obtain the generated short URL. The plugin does not control third-party services. Before enabling a provider, review that provider’s privacy policy and terms of service. Because LinkLume Shortlink Rewards supports administrator-defined provider endpoints, the exact third party and applicable terms depend on the service configured by the site administrator. FaucetPay, Cwallet, and NOWPayments are third-party services and trademarks of their respective owners. LinkLume Shortlink Rewards is not affiliated with or endorsed by those services. If a site administrator enables one of these services, the administrator is responsible for reviewing and complying with that service’s current terms and privacy policy. Official service policies: * FaucetPay terms and privacy: https://faucetpay.io/legal/ * Cwallet terms: https://docs.cwallet.com/normative-documents/terms-of-service * Cwallet privacy: https://docs.cwallet.com/normative-documents * NOWPayments terms: https://nowpayments.io/doc/fd-tos.pdf?v=1.4.2 * NOWPayments privacy: https://nowpayments.io/doc/fd-privacy-policy.pdf?v=1.2 For administrator-defined shortlink API endpoints, the administrator must identify the chosen provider in the site’s privacy disclosures and review that provider’s terms and privacy policy before enabling it. #### Source code and build process LinkLume Shortlink Rewards ships with human-readable, modifiable source code. The JavaScript loaded by WordPress is not minified or obfuscated and does not require npm, webpack, a transpiler, or another build tool. * Frontend JavaScript source: `assets/js/front.js` * Administration JavaScript source: `assets/js/admin.js` * Duplicate source-reference copies are also included in `assets/js/src/` to make source discovery explicit during review. * Stylesheets are shipped as readable CSS in `assets/css/`. * There is no compilation or minification step required to regenerate the distributed JavaScript or CSS assets. To modify an asset, edit the corresponding readable file directly. No third-party JavaScript library is bundled in these files. #### Privacy The plugin can store information needed to operate the rewards site, including WordPress user IDs, wallet balances, ledger entries, claim records, referral relationships, withdrawal/deposit records, payout destinations, security events, and administrative audit information. Site owners should update their site’s privacy policy to describe the information they collect, the reason for collecting it, retention practices, third-party services they enable, and any rights that apply to their users. LinkLume Shortlink Rewards does not itself create a WordPress.org account, cryptocurrency account, FaucetPay account, Cwallet account, or NOWPayments account for a user. #### Important administrator responsibilities This plugin provides software for operating a rewards workflow. The site owner is responsible for: * Configuring reward amounts and payout rules responsibly. * Funding and processing legitimate withdrawal obligations. * Reviewing shortlink providers before sending users to them. * Providing accurate Terms, Privacy Policy, contact information, and other required disclosures. * Complying with applicable tax, consumer, advertising, financial, cryptocurrency, age, privacy, and other laws or regulations in the jurisdictions where the site operates. * Securing API credentials and administrator accounts. LinkLume Shortlink Rewards does not provide financial, tax, or legal advice. ## Screenshots [⌊LinkLume Shortlink Rewards administration dashboard.⌉⌊LinkLume Shortlink Rewards administration dashboard.⌉[ LinkLume Shortlink Rewards administration dashboard.

No. LinkLume Shortlink Rewards is a standalone WordPress plugin and maintains its own rewards, claim, wallet, ledger, referral, deposit, and withdrawal records. ### Does the plugin include a timed faucet or PTC ads? No. The earning workflow is based on administrator-configured shortlink campaigns. ### Do users need a FaucetPay account to register? No. Registration uses normal WordPress user accounts. A payout account or wallet is only relevant when the user requests a withdrawal through a method that requires one. ### Does the plugin automatically pay every withdrawal? No. Withdrawal requests are recorded and processed according to the enabled method and available integration. Manual administrator processing remains available. ### Does the plugin automatically support every shortlink service? No. It includes configurable provider support for common API patterns and direct/ custom templates. A provider must expose a compatible API or URL flow and must be configured correctly by the administrator. ### What happens if a shortlink provider is unavailable? The claim should not be rewarded merely because a provider request failed. Administrators can review provider configuration and claim records from the WordPress dashboard. ### Can I change the reward currency? Yes. The administrator can configure the base currency and campaign currency labels. These are accounting labels used by the plugin; the plugin does not create or issue a cryptocurrency. ### Are referral rewards configurable? Yes. The plugin supports configurable referral percentages for up to three levels. ### Where are balances stored? Balances and transaction records are stored in dedicated WordPress database tables created by the plugin. Administrative adjustments and reward events are recorded in the plugin ledger. ### What should I do before launching publicly? Test the full workflow on staging, configure real legal/privacy content, verify provider terms, configure payout rules, secure all API credentials, and make sure the service complies with laws applicable to your users and business. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “LinkLume Shortlink Rewards” is open source software.
