Maelezo
Portal Cloud 9 is a WooCommerce customer dashboard that gives every user role their own beautiful front-end portal — no WordPress admin required. Customers track orders, earn reward points, and redeem coupons. Shop Managers manage products, handle inquiries, and cash out their sales rewards. Administrators oversee everything from a single control centre.
Built mobile-first with a glassmorphic design, Portal Cloud 9 transforms a standard WooCommerce store into a fully featured multi-vendor marketplace and customer account portal — completely free, with all features unlocked and no external service connections required.
Why Portal Cloud 9?
Most WooCommerce stores send customers to the default My Account page — 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.
Reward Points System
The built-in reward points system works across all three roles from a single unified WooCommerce customer dashboard.
Customers 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.
Shop Managers earn points based on product sales volume — 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.
Administrators have a full management console — 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.
