Store credits only supports a handful of source and action types.

Source type refers to which source the increase in the user's store credit is coming from. (e.g. refunds, cashback, gift cards, etc.)

Action type refers to actions that the deduct a user's store credit. (e.g. discount, admin decrease, etc.)

Source and action types needs to be registered in the code via a filter for it to be recognized as valid source/action type.

Registering custom point sources

To register custom point sources, third party plugins will need to utilize the lpfw_get_point_earn_source_types filter. The filter's value expects an array list of point sources that a follows a specific schema.

Using the filter example:

add_filter('acfw_get_store_credits_increase_source_types', 'example_register_store_credit_sources');
function example_register_store_credit_sources($registry) {

    // add custom sources.
    // the array key must have the same value with the slug.
    $registry['refer_a_friend'] = array(
        'name'    => 'Refer a friend',
        'slug'    => 'refer_a_friend',
        'related' => array(
            'object_type'         => 'user',
            'admin_label'         => 'View referred user',
            'label'               => 'Refer a friend',
            'admin_link_callback' => 'get_edit_user_link',
            'link_callback'       => '',
        ),
    );
    
    return $registry;
}
