Creator FAQ

Nothing. Winzos is free for creators and Shopify stores: no setup fees and no monthly charges. You actually earn money from the actions participants complete in your contests.

If you sell on Shopify, install the app. You get your product catalog, the theme block and one-click winner coupons. Everyone else, sign up directly.

Nope. You sign in with a magic link we email you. Shopify stores can also open Winzos from the Apps page in Shopify admin.

Shopify stores pick any product from their catalog. Creators can give away anything: add a name, description and image for the prize when you create the contest.

Yes! Each Shopify product page shows its own product's contest. On other websites, add one embed per contest.

Yes. Choose Edit from the contest's menu. You can edit a contest any time before it ends.

Public contests can be discovered by anyone, including on the Featured Contests list at app.winzos.io. Private contests are only reachable through your link or widget.

Click Send coupon next to a winner and Winzos creates a single-use discount code in your store and emails it to them. For a 100%-off code on the contest product, set the contest's Participation Prizes to Product-specific coupon/promo code.

Your contest's detail page shows participants, entries and an Entries History. Email addresses are partly hidden to protect participants' privacy.

On Shopify product pages (with the Winzos Contest block), on any website that lets you add HTML (embed code), or nowhere at all: every contest has a shareable link.

Absolutely. The Widget Builder lets you change fonts, colors, corner radius, button text and more, with a live preview.

No. Save in the Widget Builder and every widget updates automatically.
