How to run student incentive programs with Plum

01

Choose the trigger

Connect your LMS, call the rewards API, or upload a list of learners. Fund a wallet in your preferred currency.

02

Set the reward

Pick a value for each milestone, add your school or brand logo and a message, and set how long each link stays open.

03

Reward and review

Rewards go out when the milestone is reached. A second person can approve sends, and you can see every reward live.

What you get

Rewards that fit how people learn and teach

Connected to your LMS

Connect Courseplay, Disprz, Litmos, SmartUp or NetExam, and a completion can send the reward.

Rewards API with a sandbox

Build rewards into your learning app, and test the flow before launch.

A whole staff list at once

Upload one spreadsheet to reward every teacher at the end of term.

Learners choose the brand

Each person picks a gift card they like from the Plum catalogue.

Links with an end date

Unclaimed links can expire. Cancel them and the value returns to your wallet.

Sign-off on every send

A second person can approve rewards before they leave the wallet.

Students and learners

Student incentives for course milestones

Long courses lose learners along the way. Small rewards at the points that matter give people a reason to keep going, and the last one lands the moment they finish.

  • Reward each module, not only the final certificate.
  • Thank learners for finishing a feedback survey.
  • For students under 18, check your school’s and parents’ policies before you send anything.

Teachers and staff

Education employee rewards for teachers and staff

Teachers, lecturers and support staff carry the busiest weeks of the year. A gift card they choose themselves is a simple way to say thanks at the end of term, after exams or on a work anniversary.

  • Send to every staff member in one batch from a spreadsheet.
  • Or connect an HRIS and reward work anniversaries on the day.
  • Thank tutors and visiting lecturers in other countries in the same order.

EdTech growth

EdTech referral incentives for learners and parents

Word of mouth from a happy learner, or a parent who saw results, is how many learning products grow. Reward the referral when the new learner signs up or pays, not just when a link is shared.

  • Send the reward from your CRM or app when a referral converts.
  • Thank tutors and campus ambassadors who bring in new learners.
  • Track every referral reward in one place.
