Frequently asked questions
Usage related FAQ
Q: Can I enable local payment methods for raffle orders?
A: Only payment methods available with Shopify Payments are available for preorders. If Shopify enables more payment methods, you'll be able to use them. See Shopify Payments for more information.
Q: My raffle's registration phase has closed. What now?
A: The next step is to open the raffle in the admin UI and initiate the drawing of winners. After that is completed, you need to initiate the handling of losers. All processes are currently initiated manually, but a more automated process is planned for a future version.
Q: Raffle orders make it hard for me to see my normal orders, what can I do?
A: Create a filtered order view that excludes orders with the status Payment Pending.
Q: My revenue reports are skewed by all the raffle orders, what can I do?
A: Payment not yet received for orders that might not be fulfilled should not be counted as revenue. Update your reports and statistics to not include deferred revenue.
Q: I want to uninstall the app, what do I need to do?
A: Before you uninstall, be sure to archive all raffles and restore the products. If you install the app again within 48 hours from uninstallation, your data will be intact.
Integration related questions
Q: What do I need to do to get started with running raffles?
A: The App is optimized for easy implementation on Dawn-based themes, and the shortest path to getting started is available for stores that are Dawn-compatible. If you follow the Quick Start instructions, you should end up with a product page that works for both raffle products and normal products, as well as functionality for ensuring that customers don't check out multiple products when they have a raffle product in their cart.
For a more advanced implementation, for example if your Theme is not based on Dawn, install the app on a development store and follow the Quick Start instructions. Inspecting the results in the storefront and the app block settings should give you a good idea of how to integrate the app with your theme.
Q: How do I translate my storefront UI?
A: The settings containing markup are Liquid templates. You can translate using standard theme translation methods, like rendering snippets.
Q: How do I customize the countdowns?
A: You can set a custom render function on the panagora-raffle-countdown element, which will repeatedly be called by the countdown mechanism. If you inspect this, you'll find the data you need to render the current countdown state.
