Raffle for WooCommerce Pro

Your raffle system already works. Tickets sell, winners get drawn, compliance is handled. But what if buying a raffle ticket felt exciting instead of transactional?

Raffle for WooCommerce Pro is a premium addon that transforms the standard raffle experience into something interactive and visual. Customers pick their own lucky numbers from a grid, spin a wheel for prizes, and watch live winner reveal animations. It’s the same reliable raffle system underneath, with a new layer of engagement on top.

This addon requires the free Raffle for WooCommerce plugin (available on WordPress.org). For installation and license activation, see the Pro addon documentation.

Why upgrade to Pro?#

• Run team fundraisers: Volunteer leaderboards, in-person cash and cheque sales, and a master drawing across multiple raffles cover the workflow physical fundraisers actually need.
• Increase ticket sales: Visual ticket grids and lucky dip make buying tickets more engaging than a simple quantity input.
• Run promotional campaigns: Standalone lucky wheels on any page capture emails and drive traffic to your raffles.
• Build anticipation: Live winner reveal pages with confetti animations are perfect for live-streaming draws.
• Reduce checkout friction: Ticket reservation holds selected numbers while customers complete payment.
• Automate recurring raffles: Set it and forget it. When a raffle ends and winners are drawn, the next one starts automatically with fresh dates and a clean slate.
• Credit wallets directly: Store credit prizes go straight into the winner’s TeraWallet or WooWallet balance instead of creating coupons they might forget to use.
• Reward loyal customers: Bonus ticket rules and loyalty point integration encourage repeat purchases.
• Look professional: 17 countdown styles and 9 badge styles let you match your brand perfectly.

Fundraiser pack#

If you’re running a charity event, a club draw, or any campaign with volunteers selling tickets on the ground, the fundraiser pack covers the workflow that purpose-built fundraiser platforms charge separately for. Three modules work together: volunteers sell online or face-to-face, every sale ties back to the person who closed it, and you can pool multiple raffles into one big draw at the end.

Volunteer sales tracking#

Add a volunteer to a raffle, share their referral link, and every online purchase that comes through it gets attributed to them. The Volunteers tab shows who sold how many tickets at a glance, so you can recognize top performers, settle commissions, or just keep score during the campaign. Optional ticket number ranges lock specific numbers to specific volunteers, with the picker grid hiding out-of-range numbers automatically.

Useful when:

• Your club has members selling tickets through their personal networks.
• A charity event runs across multiple chapters or regions and you need a per-volunteer leaderboard.
• You want a paper trail tying each sale back to the person who closed it.

Manual ticket sales#

When someone walks in and pays by cash, cheque, or bank transfer, record it directly from the Raffle Tickets admin. The plugin creates a real WooCommerce order behind the scenes — the buyer (or gift recipient) gets the same confirmation email, PDF ticket, and QR code an online customer would.

Three ticket holder modes are built in:

• Self: all tickets go to the buyer above.
• Gift to one: all tickets are gifted to a single recipient.
• Mix: set the holder for each ticket individually, so a single sale can include both buyer-kept and gifted tickets.

Per-customer ticket limits and raffle availability are enforced exactly like the on-site checkout, and the sale can be attributed to the volunteer who closed it. No more swapping the product price, processing a credit-card sale to yourself, and switching it back.

Master drawing#

Combine multiple concurrent raffles into one master drawing. Pick the child raffles, set the date, and a single winner is drawn across the entire pool. Each raffle keeps its own ticket numbers, prices, and rules — they just feed into a shared draw at the end.

Useful when:

• A fundraising event has multiple raffles running side by side that all pay out from one prize pool.
• You want different ticket number ranges for different sponsors but a single winner across them.
• You’re running cross-product giveaways and need one consolidated draw.

Master draws are scheduled, run on cron, and write a full audit trail on every step. The master draw list shows linked raffles with a one-click jump to the winners.

Pick Your Own Ticket#

Replace the standard quantity input with a visual ticket grid where customers choose their own lucky numbers. Each numbered tile shows availability in real-time — available tickets are selectable, sold tickets are greyed out, and reserved tickets show a countdown.

Customers click the numbers they want, see their selections highlighted, and proceed to checkout with exactly those tickets. This is the traditional raffle experience that people expect from physical ticket books, brought online.

The grid adapts to your raffle size and works on mobile with touch-friendly tile sizing. See the Ticket Picker setup guide.

Lucky Dip#

Not everyone wants to pick specific numbers. Lucky Dip adds a one-click button that randomly selects available tickets for the customer. Set the quantity and hit the button — the grid animates as random numbers are selected, adding a moment of excitement before checkout.

Works alongside the ticket picker grid, so customers can choose between picking their numbers or going random. Lucky Dip documentation.

Advanced Instant Win#

The free plugin includes basic Instant Win (probability-based and guaranteed interval). Pro takes it further:

• Pre-selected winning tickets: Mark specific ticket numbers as instant winners before the raffle starts. When someone buys that number, they win immediately.
• Multi-tier prizes: Configure different prize levels (grand prize, second prize, consolation prizes) with separate winning tickets for each tier.
• Prize separation: Control the minimum distance between winning tickets to spread prizes evenly across the sales period.

This gives you complete control over which tickets win and what they win, while customers still experience the thrill of an instant reveal. Full Advanced Instant Win docs.

Lucky Wheel / Spin to Win#

An interactive spinning wheel animation that customers spin to win prizes. Configure segments with different prizes, probabilities, and colors. The wheel spins with realistic physics and lands on a result.

Raffle-linked wheels#

Attach a wheel to a raffle product. After purchasing tickets, customers get a spin as a bonus reward. Prizes can include extra raffle entries, discount codes, or custom prizes.

Standalone wheels#

Create wheels as their own content type, independent of any raffle. Place them on any page using a shortcode or configure them as popups. Standalone wheels are perfect for:

• Lead generation: Gate the wheel behind an email signup to build your list.
• Promotional campaigns: Offer discount codes, free shipping, or other incentives.
• Event engagement: Add a fun interactive element to landing pages or blog posts.

Wheel placements#

Display standalone wheels as:

• Inline on any page via shortcode.
• Popup triggered by click, scroll depth, exit intent, or time delay.
• Floating button that follows the user as they scroll.

For the complete setup including segment configuration, coupon generation, and display rules, see the Lucky Wheel documentation.

Email gate#

Require visitors to enter their email address before spinning. Collected emails integrate with your existing WooCommerce customer list. Configurable win/lose messaging and coupon delivery.

Winner Reveal Page#

Turn your winner announcement into an event. The Winner Reveal page shows a live draw animation with confetti effects when the winner is revealed. Share the URL with your audience and stream the reveal live.

The reveal page includes:

• Animated countdown before the draw.
• Dramatic ticket selection animation.
• Confetti and celebration effects when the winner appears.
• Winner details displayed with their ticket number.

Perfect for live-streamed charity draws, social media events, or any raffle where the announcement is part of the experience. Winner Reveal documentation.

Entry / Participant List#

Display a public list of participants on the raffle product page or any page via shortcode. Privacy controls let you configure how much information is shown:

• Full name, first name only, or masked name (e.g., “J*** D**”).
• Ticket numbers visible or hidden.
• Gravatar/profile pictures.
• Entry timestamps.

This builds social proof and excitement as people see the participant list grow.

Alphabet Ticket Format#

Switch from numeric ticket numbers (0001, 0002) to an alphabet format (A01–Z99) for a traditional raffle feel. Each ticket gets a letter-number combination that’s easy to read aloud during live draws and looks great on printed tickets.

Ticket Reservation#

When a customer selects tickets from the picker grid, those tickets are held for a configurable time period (e.g., 10 minutes). A countdown timer shows how long their selection will be reserved. If they don’t complete checkout in time, the tickets are released back to the pool.

This prevents the frustration of selecting numbers, going to checkout, and finding they’ve been taken by someone else.

IP Purchase Restriction#

Limit ticket purchases per IP address to prevent multi-account abuse. When someone creates multiple accounts to bypass per-customer ticket limits, IP restriction catches it. Configurable limit per IP per raffle.

Bonus Tickets#

Automatically award extra draw entries to encourage larger purchases and early buying:

• Quantity-based: Buy 10 tickets, get 2 bonus entries.
• Early bird: Purchase before a specific date and receive bonus entries.
• Role-based: Members, VIPs, or other user roles get automatic bonus tickets.

Bonus entries appear as separate tickets in the draw, increasing the customer’s chances of winning without additional cost.

Reward Points (WooRewards)#

Integration with the WooRewards loyalty program. Customers earn points when purchasing raffle tickets and can redeem points toward ticket purchases. Configurable earn and redeem rates per raffle.

Recurring Raffle#

Run raffles on autopilot. When a raffle ends and winners are drawn, the plugin waits a configurable delay (so prize notifications go out first), then creates a fresh copy of the raffle with new start and end dates. The completed raffle is preserved with its full winner history.

Configure per product:

• Duration: How long each recurring raffle runs (hours, days, or weeks).
• Delay after draw: Minutes to wait before the next raffle goes live.
• Max recurrences: Limit the chain to a set number of iterations, or let it run indefinitely.

Each copy inherits all settings from the original: pricing, ticket limits, prize configuration, instant win rules, bonus tickets, and wallet credit settings. A lineage link connects each copy back to its source for easy tracking.

Combine with auto-draw and you get a fully hands-off weekly raffle that draws winners, credits prizes, and spins up the next round without anyone touching the admin. Recurring Raffle documentation.

Wallet Prize Credit#

When a store credit raffle completes, the prize amount goes directly into the winner’s wallet balance instead of generating a WooCommerce coupon. Supports TeraWallet and WooWallet.

Wallet credits show up immediately in the winner’s account. They can spend it on their next purchase or save it for a future raffle. Every credit is logged in the raffle audit trail with the exact amount, wallet plugin, and ticket number.

If the winner is a guest (no WordPress account), the system falls back to creating a coupon and emailing it, so nobody misses their prize. Per-product toggle lets you disable wallet crediting for specific raffles if needed. Wallet Prize Credit documentation.

Email PDF Ticket#

Automatically attach a branded PDF raffle ticket with QR code to the WooCommerce order confirmation email. Customers get their ticket delivered straight to their inbox without needing to log in and download it from My Account.

PDFs are generated using DOMPDF with your store branding, ticket details, and scannable QR codes.

Countdown and Badge Styles#

Replace the default countdown timer and Instant Win badge with premium styled versions:

• 17 countdown timer styles including glassmorphism, neumorphism, gradient borders, flip clock, and animated designs.
• 9 Instant Win badge styles with animations, glow effects, and modern design patterns.

Preview each style in the settings panel and select the one that matches your brand. Browse all styles.

Frequently asked questions#

Does this plugin work on its own?#

No. Raffle for WooCommerce Pro is an addon that requires the free Raffle for WooCommerce plugin to be installed and activated. The free plugin handles all core raffle functionality. Pro adds the interactive visual features on top.

What do I get with the free plugin vs Pro?#

The free plugin is a complete raffle system: ticket sales, gift purchasing, winner selection (manual, automatic, Random.org), Instant Win, skill-testing questions, free entry compliance, mass refunds, bulk pricing, 7 shortcodes, 6 email notifications, analytics, and more. Pro adds visual engagement and automation features: ticket picker grids, lucky dip, lucky wheel, winner reveal animations, recurring raffles, wallet prize credit, alphabet tickets, ticket reservation, bonus tickets, loyalty points, and premium styles.

Can I try the free plugin first?#

Absolutely. Install Raffle for WooCommerce from WordPress.org and run your raffles. If you later want the interactive features, install Pro and activate your license. All your existing raffles, tickets, and data carry over seamlessly.

How does the license work?#

Your purchase includes one year of updates and support. After the first year, your plugin continues to work — you just won’t receive new updates or support unless you renew.

Can I use the lucky wheel without a raffle?#

Yes. Standalone lucky wheels are independent of raffle products. Create a wheel, configure prizes and probabilities, and place it on any page. Use the email gate to collect leads before spinning.

Does the ticket picker work on mobile?#

Yes. The ticket grid uses responsive tile sizing that adapts to screen width. Touch interactions are fully supported for selecting and deselecting tickets.

What happens if a reserved ticket expires?#

The ticket is released back to the available pool and can be purchased by anyone. The customer who held it sees a “reservation expired” message and can select new tickets.

Can I use alphabet tickets and the ticket picker together?#

Yes. The ticket picker grid displays alphabet-formatted tiles (A01, A02, B01, etc.) instead of numeric ones when alphabet format is enabled.

Do bonus tickets count toward ticket limits?#

Bonus entries are separate draw entries and do not count against per-customer ticket purchase limits. A customer limited to 10 tickets who earns 2 bonus entries has 10 purchased tickets plus 2 bonus entries in the draw.

Is there a limit on lucky wheel spins?#

Standalone wheels can be configured with spin limits per user (by email or IP). Raffle-linked wheels typically allow one spin per purchase.

Which wallet plugins are supported for prize credit?#

TeraWallet and WooWallet. The module detects which one is active and credits accordingly. If neither is installed, store credit prizes fall back to WooCommerce coupons automatically.

Can I limit how many times a raffle recurs?#

Yes. Set a max recurrence count per product. When the limit is reached, the chain stops. Set it to 0 for unlimited recurrences. Each copy tracks its lineage back to the original.

How does volunteer attribution work?#

Each volunteer you add to a raffle gets a unique referral code and shareable link. When someone visits the raffle through that link, the code is captured into the WooCommerce session and stamped onto the resulting tickets at checkout. The Volunteers tab then shows a leaderboard with ticket counts and revenue per volunteer. You can also tie a manual cash or cheque sale to a specific volunteer from the Manual sale form.

Can manual sales handle cash and cheque payments?#

Yes. The Manual sale tab records face-to-face sales paid by cash, cheque, bank transfer, or any non-online method. The plugin creates a completed WooCommerce order behind the scenes so the buyer (or gift recipient) gets the same emails, PDF ticket, and QR code an online customer would. Per-customer ticket limits and total availability are enforced exactly like the on-site checkout, and gift tickets stay exempt from the per-customer limit just like the regular gift flow.

How is master drawing different from running one big raffle?#

Master drawing keeps each raffle as its own product with its own ticket numbers, price, sales channel, and volunteer attribution. The master draw only owns the winner selection — it pulls every eligible ticket from each linked raffle into one pool and picks a winner across the lot. This is useful when sponsors fund separate ticket number ranges, when different campaigns need their own pages and pricing, or when you simply don’t want a 5,000-ticket monolith.
