PrizeX Rewards is the same self-hosted PHP platform as PrizeX Standard: storefront, admin panel and mobile web app, with each feature a plugin you switch on or off. The difference is money. Every plugin that takes or pays out real money is left out, and the store is locked to coins by its licence.
What "coins only" means
- Customers can't buy coins. There are no payment gateways and no manual payment methods, and wallet top-ups are refused.
- Customers can't cash coins out. There are no withdrawals and no transfers between accounts.
- Everything in the store is priced in coins: bid fees, tickets, boxes, games, shop products and prize claims. Checkout takes the coins from the customer's wallet.
- One coin is held at one unit of your store's currency, and prices show with a coin symbol instead of a money sign.
- The setting comes from your licence. Nothing in the admin panel switches it off, and plugins that move real money won't load or switch on.

Themes included
Prism takes on your own brand colour. Bazaar is designed for right-to-left languages as well. More themes are in the add-on store inside your admin panel.
Not in PrizeX Rewards
These move real money, so PrizeX Rewards doesn't include them, and the add-on store doesn't offer them to a Rewards store:
If your store needs to take payments, sell coins or pay out sellers, you need PrizeX Standard instead.
Available as add-ons
Sold separately, as for every product: reCAPTCHA, email codes, the native mobile app and ticket printing, plus more themes and more earn and shop tools. See Add-ons and themes.
How the pieces fit
- The kernel is the core: customers, the wallet, orders, the admin panel, themes, languages and updates.
- Plugins add each feature: an auction type, prize draws, the shop, a way to earn. The Plugins page in the admin lists them, and each can be switched on or off.
- Themes change how the storefront looks without changing what it does.
- Your licence decides what your store can install, and that it runs on coins only. The setup wizard reads it and offers everything it includes, so some features are downloaded during setup rather than shipped in the zip.
