The GamiPress – Easy Digital Downloads (EDD) Points Gateway is a specialized extension that transforms your GamiPress points into a functional currency within your Easy Digital Downloads store. Essentially, it treats your points as a “standard” payment gateway, similar to how the system treats PayPal or Stripe.
This is EXACTLY the same product as distributed by the developer. Sales Page
