Prize Games: turn your customers into players

Give shoppers a reason to come back every day. Run a daily, weekly or monthly prize game where signed-in customers earn entries for checking in, sharing your store, placing orders and bringing in friends. When the game ends, one button draws a winner. It is random, fair and recorded.

🎁 Set up a game in minutes

• 📅 Your own start and end date and time. Quick-set a day, a week or a month, or pick any length
• 🏆 Add the prize: name, details and a picture
• 📜 Write your official rules, shown right on the game page
• ⭐ Feature a product for players to visit
• 👁 Choose who sees it and when to start it

⭐ Many ways to earn entries

Each point is one entry. You choose the points for every action, and each one can be limited to once a day, once a week, once a month, one time only or every time.

• ✅ Daily check-in
• 🔥 Streak bonuses for checking in several days in a row
• 👀 Visit the featured product
• 📣 Share links for Facebook, X, WhatsApp or any app. The point arrives only when someone else really clicks the sharer's personal link
• 🛒 Points for orders, per order, per dollar spent, or both
• 📧 Join your newsletter
• 🤝 Refer a friend. Points when the friend signs up and verifies, and a bigger bonus on their first order

🎮 A fun experience for players

• Players press Enter the game first, so entries are always a choice
• Paid orders placed while the game was running are added automatically when they enter, and new orders are credited as they happen
• Before they enter, players can see what their past purchases are worth
• Players see their points, the total entries and their odds
• Each player gets a personal link to share
• Live countdowns show how long is left

🎲 One-click winner draw

• After the game ends, press Draw Winner in Admin
• The draw is random and weighted by points: more points means better odds
• Every draw is recorded with the entry numbers drawn and the total entries
• See the full entries list and export it
• Email the winner and show them on the game page
• Add or take away points by hand when you need to

📣 Promote your game everywhere

Turn on any of these in Admin > Prize Games > Promotions. Each one is optional.

• 🎨 Colorful bar above every page with a live countdown
• 🏠 Game card under your homepage hero
• 💥 Popup shown once per visit
• 🏷 Floating corner badge
• Visitors can hide the bar and the badge for the day
• Promotions never appear at checkout or on the games pages, and disappear when no game is running

🏁 A games page that sells itself

• A Prize Games page linked in your footer shows what is running now, with countdowns
• Coming-up games build anticipation
• Recent winners are shown with confetti, using first name and last initial only
• Visitors who aren't signed in are invited to log in or create an account
• A friendly message appears when no game is running

🛡 Fair and safe

• Entries need a real account. Staff accounts can't play
• Share points only count when someone else really clicks, so players can't give themselves points
• Purchases alone never give points. Players must enter first
• No card details are ever stored
• Your games and winners live in your own database on your own hosting
