Automated Entry Calculation
Every order automatically converts to entries based on your dollar-per-entry rate. Product bonuses, time-period multipliers, and order value bonuses stack intelligently with our hierarchical calculation engine.
- Precise dollar-to-entry conversion with zero manual tracking
- Hierarchical bonus system ensures correct priority every time
- Complete audit trail for every calculation in JSON format
Smart Bonus System
No more updating multipliers at midnight across multiple stores. Schedule your bonuses once — product multipliers, time-period bonuses, and order value thresholds all activate and deactivate automatically.
- Product-specific multipliers activate on schedule, not manually
- Time-period bonuses run across timezones without intervention
- Order value bonuses incentivize larger cart sizes automatically
Customer-Facing Widgets
No more coding multiplier displays into your theme or managing product metafields. Our theme embeds pull directly from your bonus schedule — multipliers, countdown timers, and entry displays always show the right thing automatically.
- Set up by our team on every plan — no coding on your end
- Countdown timers tied directly to your bonus period schedule
- Self-service entry checker eliminates support requests
