How the Instant Winner Feature Works

The Instant Winner feature provides an immediate, thrilling reward experience for customers who purchase giveaway tickets. Here is the seamless process from purchase to prize notification:

The Winning Process

  1. Customer Purchases Tickets: A customer buys one or more tickets for a giveaway product for which you have configured Instant Win prizes.
  2. Prize Awarding: If a purchased ticket matches the winning criteria you defined (e.g., a specific ticket number), the customer instantly wins the associated prize.

Winner Notification & Confirmation

The customer is notified of their instant win through multiple channels, ensuring they never miss their success:

  • Order Confirmation / Thank You Page: A prominent message displays on the order confirmation (“Thank You”) page, announcing the win and showing the winning description of the prize they have secured.
  • Customer Order Details: The win is recorded against the order. The customer can see the winning description in their “Order Details” when viewing the order from their “My Account” page.
  • Automated Email Notification (Optional): If email notifications are enabled for the Instant Winner feature, a customized email is automatically sent to the customer, containing all the details about their prize and the winning description you configured.

This multi-channel notification system guarantees a transparent and exciting experience, making the customer feel valued and immediately rewarding their participation.
