Points system
The points system is a feature which allows users to buy points and use them to pay for posting ads. For the user, there are three ways of getting points:
- buying points packages
- getting points given manually by the administrator
- getting 'start package' while registering
The points system is built-in to DJ-Classifieds. You do not need to download additional extensions to start using Points System.
