UNDER THE HOOD

Built for serious giveaways

A hierarchical engine, automated scheduling, and storefront widgets — all working together.

Automated entry calculation

Every order converts to entries by your dollar-per-entry rate. Product bonuses, time-period multipliers and order-value bonuses stack intelligently through a hierarchical engine.

  • Precise dollar-to-entry conversion, zero manual tracking
  • Hierarchical bonuses apply in the correct priority every time
  • Complete JSON audit trail on every calculation

Bonuses that run themselves

No more updating multipliers at midnight across stores. Schedule once — product multipliers, time-period bonuses and order thresholds activate and deactivate automatically.

  • Product multipliers activate on schedule, not manually
  • Time-period bonuses run across timezones unattended
  • Order-value bonuses reward bigger carts automatically

EVERYTHING IN ONE APP

Run the whole giveaway, automatically

From the first entry to the verified winner — every step handled, no spreadsheets and no code.

One-Click Resync

Reprocess all historical orders against current promotion rules instantly.

One-Click Export

Export all entries in compliance-ready CSV format with complete audit trails.

Audit Trail

Complete JSON audit logs for every entry calculation for transparency and compliance.

Webhook Auto-Recovery

Self-healing webhooks that automatically recreate if deleted or interrupted.

Timezone-Aware

All calculations respect your promotion's timezone for accurate bonus period eligibility.

Bonus Periods

Schedule time-based multipliers that auto-activate and deactivate. No more midnight updates across stores and timezones.

Product Entry Tag

Shows how many entries a product earns on product pages. Automatically reflects active bonuses and multipliers — no metafields to manage.

Countdown Timer

Multiple styles — inline, boxes, and progress bar. Tied directly to your bonus period schedule, auto-updates when periods change.

Entry Checker

Self-service entry lookup by email. Works across all promotions automatically — no per-giveaway form updates or page rebuilds.

USE CASES

Proven plays for serious brands

A few of the ways premier Shopify brands turn Giveaway Gator into revenue.

Deflect discounts

Swap a sitewide sale for an entry-only bonus code. Customers still feel the win — you keep every point of margin.

Capture zero-party data

Post-purchase surveys ask one question after checkout, reward the answer with entries, and segment every respondent.

Reward in-store buyers

Shopify POS receipt claim: in-store shoppers scan a QR code to claim entries from their POS purchase.

Entries in the native order email

Entry totals appear right inside Shopify's own order-confirmation email — no separate send, no extra app.
