What's new in UserLoop

UserLoop Contests lets you build, save, and preview bonus actions on Free. Each action is marked Pro and stays paused for entrants until you upgrade. Existing contests that already use actions keep them active.

Open Build > Bonus actions to add or change any action. Launch names paused actions, and upgrading makes them live without relaunching your contest.

Editing an existing action keeps entrant photos, answers, and other submissions. If you remove a used action, Contests warns you first. Entrants keep the bonus entries they earned.

UserLoop Contests is easier to manage from your phone. Move between Build, Design, Launch, and Results with a bottom navigation bar, while each screen keeps its main actions within reach.

In Build, use Steps, Edit, and Preview to focus on one pane at a time. Design has matching Design, Preview, and Theme choices, while Results separates Overview, Entries, and Draw winners.

Open Contests in Shopify admin on your phone to create or update a contest, check entries, and select winners. Dashboard actions stay visible, and entry and referral details stack cleanly on smaller screens.

UserLoop Contests on Pro connects to Klaviyo, Omnisend, and Campaign Monitor. You can add consented entrants to lists, sync contacts and tags, and send entry events where each provider supports them.

Open Integrations in Shopify admin and expand a provider to connect it. Klaviyo and Omnisend use API keys; Campaign Monitor uses a secure sign-in and returns you to the same store after approval.

Connected providers add optional, unchecked marketing opt-ins under Build > Entry form > Marketing consent. Choose a subscriber list or contact tag where offered, then submit a new test entry because earlier entries are not sent automatically.

UserLoop Contests can reward confirmed entrants when a friend enters through their unique link. Copying or sharing alone earns nothing, and reward limits help you keep the incentive under control.

Add Referral Share from Build > Bonus actions, then choose Entries per referral and Maximum referral entries. This Pro action always stays optional because entrants receive their link after completing the base form.

In Results, open Referrals to switch between Referred entries and Top referrers. You can see successful referrals, active referrers, bonus entries earned, and who referred each entrant.

The Contests dashboard makes it easier to see what needs your attention. Ended contests that still need a winner and Pro prize deliveries that need setup appear in Needs attention.

Use Active, Ended, Archived, and All to find the right contest quickly. Each card shows whether it is Live, Scheduled, Draft, Paused, Ended, or Archived.

Open the bell beside Overview to check recent Contests updates. A red dot marks releases you have not opened yet.

Manage each contest winner from Results. Choose Set up prize delivery to decide how you will contact them and fulfill their prize.

On Free, choose Handle redemption yourself and I'll contact them. Pro adds UserLoop emails, secure claim links, address collection, Shopify draft or automatic-order creation, and email resends.

Claims already in progress continue after a downgrade. Starting a new automated redemption or resending a UserLoop winner email requires Pro.

Your contest entry form can now ask for a first name and phone number. Make either field optional or required under Build > Entry form. Email remains required, and your existing entry limit still applies.

On the Pro plan, you can also change the labels, placeholders, error messages, status text, and buttons customers see. Go to Design > Custom text and update the wording for your standalone page, popup, and app block.

Use the live desktop and mobile preview to check everything before you launch.

On the Pro plan, you can now give every confirmed entrant their own Shopify discount code. Choose a percentage or fixed discount, set an expiry date, and turn it on under Build > Discount code. You'll need to grant Shopify discount access first.

Entrants see their code as soon as they complete the contest. You can also send it by email using your contest logo, colors, offer, and expiry date. Use Send test to check the email before your contest goes live.

Every entrant receives a different code, and Shopify allows each customer to use it once. That means you don't need to share one public code with everyone.

You can now use Shopify Sidekick to check and manage UserLoop Contests in plain language. Ask about active contests, entries, winners, results, or trends without leaving Shopify admin.

Sidekick can create a draft contest, change settings or status, add a prize, and prepare winner actions. Before it changes an existing contest, you'll see a confirmation card. Nothing changes until you select Confirm and apply.

For visual design, image uploads, theme settings, and a final customer preview, continue to use the full Contests editor.

Contests now has a full-screen editor with four clear sections: Build, Design, Launch, and Results. Your settings and live storefront preview sit side by side, so you can see changes as you make them.

Start with a template or a blank contest, add the details, customize the design, and use the launch checklist before going live. Switch between desktop and mobile previews to check the entry and success screens on your standalone page, popup, and app block.

In Results, you can view statistics, search entries, export data, and choose winners in the same workspace. Photo contests also include a gallery for moderation and vote totals, and you can update prize quantities from the prize cards.

One of our most requested features is here. An Info Screen is a survey step that tells customers something instead of asking them something: a heading, an image, and body text, with a button to continue.

Use one to explain why you're asking, to advertise the discount waiting at the end, or to break a long survey into sections. Add as many as you like, anywhere in the question list.

They collect no answer, so nothing lands in your analytics or exports, and the question counter still counts only real questions. Add one by choosing "Info Screen" as the question type.

The UserLoop MCP server now draws your results as charts inside the conversation, instead of answering with numbers alone.

Ask about a question and the chart comes with it: loyalty scores split into promoters, passives, and detractors, answer breakdowns with revenue and AOV, and response volume over time.

Charts are live, not screenshots. Change the date range or the day, week, and month grouping and the assistant refetches from UserLoop.

Nothing to install. Charts appear automatically in clients that support them, and every other client keeps working as before.

You can now enable a progress bar in your checkout surveys, this shows users how far they are through at completing a survey.  To enable it, just head to the 'Design' tab in survey settings and turn on the 'Progress Bar' toggle.
