Social Perks + WordPress Integration
Install the Social Perks plugin to add perk campaigns, widgets, and shortcodes anywhere on your WordPress site.
What this integration does
The Social Perks + WordPress plugin is a first-class way to run perk-driven marketing campaigns from your existing CMS. It registers a Gutenberg block, a classic shortcode, and a Customizer widget so you can drop a perk offer onto any page, post, or sidebar.
The plugin also exposes WordPress REST endpoints that mirror Social Perks events, letting developers extend campaigns with custom PHP. Combined with WooCommerce, MemberPress, or LearnDash, the plugin powers ecommerce, membership, and course-based perk programs.
