How it works

From idea to live giveaway in three steps

01

Start from a template or a prompt

Pick one of 24 templates, or let the AI wizard read your store and draft the whole contest with a real prize.

02

Launch it anywhere

Publish a hosted page, a theme popup, an inline block, an embed, or a QR code. Bonus actions and referrals are built in.

03

Draw, deliver, repeat

Run a fair weighted draw, let UserLoop create the winner's Shopify order automatically, sync every entrant to Klaviyo, and run the next one.
