This guide walks you through how to create and launch a raffle using SuperSwipe after install.
Step 1: Create a New Release
Select a Product
Start by choosing the product you want to run as a raffle.
- Select an existing Shopify product
- Ensure it meets all SuperSwipe requirements (no selling plans, shipping only, etc.)
Add Stock
Next, set the number of units available for the raffle
How Stock Works in SuperSwipe
SuperSwipe handles inventory differently than standard Shopify:
- You set stock inside the SuperSwipe app
- SuperSwipe automatically sets your Shopify product inventory to 0
- All sales are processed through the raffle system
This ensures:
- Your stock is hidden from the public
- No overselling
- Controlled distribution through the raffle
Step 2: Configure Filtration (AI Anti-Bot Protection)
Default Filtration (Recommended)
For most stores, default filtration is all you need as it uses our highly efficient AI bot protection algorithm.
Advanced Filtration
For larger stores or more control, you can customize advanced filters like previous purchases, spend and risk assessment from our in house fraud detection.
Step 3: Schedule Your Release
Launch Timing
Launch Options
- Launch Now → Product goes live immediately
- Schedule Launch → Set a future date & time
Scheduled launches automatically display a countdown timer on your release page.
Raffle Close Settings
Option 1: End Manually
- Close the raffle whenever you choose
- No visible end time to customers
Option 2: Set Close Time
- Automatically ends at a scheduled time
- Winners are selected immediately after
Step 4: Fee Distribution
Choose how SuperSwipe fees are handled. The 5% fee can be adjusted if merchant or customer wants to take on what percent of the fee.
Default Behavior
- Fee is automatically set at 5%
- Customer pays the fee
- Merchant pays $0
Custom Option
Use the slider to adjust:
- Pass full fee to customer (default)
- Split fee with customer
Absorb fee entirely
Editing a Live Release
You can edit a raffle as long as it is still accepting entries.
Editable Fields:
- Filtration settings
- Launch timing
- End timing
- VIP list
VIP / Friends & Family (FNF)
You can add a list of VIP customers who are guaranteed to win.
How VIP Works
