Shopify SweepWidget Purchases App – Reward Entries For Every $1 Spent


With SweepWidget, you can integrate your Shopify store directly into your giveaway! As a store owner, your goal is to increase your sales. Online giveaways are a great way to incentivize people to purchase products from your store. SweepWidget integrates directly into your Shopify store to view the orders and reward users entries for every $1 they spend. It’s fully API verified and works in real-time with no manual verification needed on your end. Here’s how it works:

Step 1: Install the SweepWidget app on Shopify

First, make sure you have the SweepWidget app installed from the Shopify app marketplace. Install the SweepWidget Shopify app here.

Once it’s installed, it will ask you to grant the permissions to be able view the order on your store and read customer data (this is required for the app to function properly). You can delete this anytime.

Step 2: Choose your entry method

Go to create or edit a giveaway. Then click on the Entry Methods tab, click the + Add Entry Method button, and choose the Earn Entries For Every $1 Spent option.

Step 3: Connect your Shopify store

Click the Connect Shopify Store button, and choose which products are eligible to earn entries on. By default, all products will be selected. But, you can limit it to whichever ones you want. By default, it will fetch up to 500 products from your store. You can reach out to customer support if you need higher limits.

Step 4: Fill in the entry method details

Next, you can customize the entry method to fit your needs.

Earned entries for every dollar spent

You can choose how many entries the user will earn for every $1 they spend. If you set it to 1, then $1 – 1 entry. Conversely, if you set it to $5, then $1 = 5 entries.

Store link to make purchases

You want to put in the URL to your Shopify store. This will be how users know where to go to make purchases.

Additional instructions

This just explains to the user how it works. [X_ENTRIES] is a placeholder which will automatically be replaced by the amount of entries they will earn per $1 spent.

Email users when they get credited for a purchase

This will send an email to the users every time they make a qualified purchase and earn entries. It keeps them engaged and lets them know that it’s working.

Step 5: Add an AMOE (Alternative Method of Entry)

By law, you must have an AMOE if you’re rewarding payments for entries in a giveaway. That means that users must have an equal chance at winning whether they spend money or not. By default, SweepWidget automatically adds an AMOE “Refer-a-Friend” entry method which allows unlimited friend referrals. It’s recommended that you add additional AMOE options as well.

Your giveaway is live!

Now, the users can enter your giveaway! Once they enter, there will be an instruction for them to navigate to your store and complete purchases. Everything is fully automated from here on out and no manual actions are required on your end. Whenever a user makes a successful purchase, the entries will automatically get applied to their SweepWidget entry.
