Frequently Asked Questions

Installing Win Back

How do I install Win Back on my Shopify store?

Visit the Shopify App Store, search for “Win Back,” and click “Install.” Shopify will ask you to approve the app. After installation, you’ll be provided with step‑by‑step instructions and a link to our support guide to complete configuration.

Do I need any technical skills to set up the app?

No coding is required. Win Back automatically injects the necessary consent checkboxes and scripts into your storefront. You can customise the appearance in the settings—no theme edits needed.

Can I Add Custom CSS to Customize or Override the App’s Default Design?

Yes, you can add custom CSS directly from your Shopify theme settings:

  1. Go to Shopify Admin → Online Store → Themes
  2. Click Customize
  3. Navigate to App Embed settings
  4. Find the Custom CSS field (as shown in the screenshot)
  5. Add your CSS rules and click Save

Can I use Win Back alongside other marketing apps?

Yes. Win Back complements loyalty, reviews, discounts and email/SMS tools. Because Win Back writes data directly to native Shopify, it doesn’t conflict with third‑party apps—you simply use that data in whichever tools you already run.

Will you install and customise it all for me?

We don’t offer a full complimentary install service. The standard install on a Shopify 2.0 theme is straightforward. If you’d like custom placements or advanced setup, we can connect you with an independent Shopify development partner who provides paid support.

Data privacy & compliance

How is consent captured and stored?

Consent is captured via clear opt‑in checkboxes at checkout and other touchpoints. Each opt‑in is timestamped and associated with the order/customer record. That consent data is captured and passed directly into Shopify for a fully native experience.

Can customers revoke their consent?

Yes—unsubscribe and STOP replies are handled by your email/SMS platforms. Win Back isn’t a sending tool; we simply provide consent into Shopify. When a customer unsubscribes in those platforms, their consent status in Shopify is updated and Win Back respects it.

Shopify store credit

How do I issue store credit to winners?

When you select a winner, Win Back can processing store credit the order as store credit with a single click. The credit amount defaults to the order total.

Can I customise the credit amount awarded?

No. The standard winner credit equals the original order value. However, if you enable the “notify other eligible candidates” feature, you can issue fixed‑amount or percentage‑based credits to non‑winners.

What is the “notify other eligible candidates” feature?

It’s an optional loyalty booster. After selecting a winner, you can automatically notify other eligible entrants and award them a small fixed or percentage‑based store credit—driving goodwill and repeat purchases without blanket discounts.

How do I track the total credits I’ve issued?

Use Shopify’s built‑in reports and analytics to review store credit balances, redemptions and related order performance.

Does Win Back work with legacy customer accounts?

Partially. Consent capture and entries work with legacy accounts, but Shopify’s revised store credit requires the new (recommended) customer accounts. For full credit functionality, switch to the new customer account format.

How do I switch to the new customer account format?

In Shopify Admin, go to Settings > Customer accounts and enable the new customer accounts. Follow Shopify’s prompts to complete the migration. Once enabled, Win Back’s store‑credit features will be fully available.

Do I need Shopify Plus for store credit or new accounts?

No. Store credit and the new customer accounts are available on standard Shopify plans. If you are on Shopify Plus, an additional checkout extension is available, but Plus is not required.

Supported integrations

Which email and SMS platforms does Win Back integrate with?

Win Back communicates directly with native Shopify. Any third‑party email/SMS platform that connects to Shopify (e.g., Klaviyo, Attentive, Mailchimp, Postscript and others) will read consent and events from Shopify. We don’t conflict with your existing stack—review your messaging and discounts to keep everything aligned.

Measuring revenue impact from Win Back campaigns

How Win Back campaign performance is measured?

Win Back captures compliant email and SMS consent at checkout and tags participating customers with winback_customer inside Shopify.

This allows you to:

  1. Segment high-intent buyers inside your email/SMS platforms
  2. Measure incremental revenue generated by Win Back campaigns
  3. Track conversion uplift vs previous periods
  4. Identify repeat purchase behaviour from campaign participants

Because Shopify’s GraphQL API does not currently allow analytics reports to be automatically created during app installation, these reports must be configured manually once.

Setup takes approximately 3–5 minutes and only needs to be completed once per store.


Step 1 – Create the Sales Performance Report

  1. Go to Shopify Admin → Analytics → Reports
  2. Click New exploration
  3. Paste the query below
  4. Click Run
  5. Save the report as:
    Win Back Sales

FROM sales, sessions
  SHOW total_sales, checkout_conversion_rate
  WHERE customer_tags CONTAINS 'winback_customer'
  GROUP BY TOP 4 customer_number_of_orders, day WITH GROUP_TOTALS, TOTALS,
    CURRENCY 'AUD', PERCENT_CHANGE
  TIMESERIES day
  SINCE startOfDay(-30d) UNTIL today
  COMPARE TO previous_period
  ORDER BY total_sales__customer_number_of_orders_totals DESC, day ASC,
    total_sales DESC, customer_number_of_orders ASC
VISUALIZE total_sales TYPE donut
      

This report shows revenue contribution and order depth from customers captured via Win Back.

Conversion Rate Report
Conversion Rate Report Conversion Rate Report Conversion Rate Report

Step 2 – Create the Conversion Rate Report

  1. Return to Analytics → Reports in Shopify Admin
  2. Click New exploration
  3. Paste the query below
  4. Click Run
  5. Save the report as:
    Win Back Conversion Rate

FROM sessions
  SHOW sessions, sessions_with_cart_additions, sessions_that_reached_checkout,
    sessions_that_completed_checkout, conversion_rate
  WHERE human_or_bot_session IN ('human', 'bot')
    AND customer_tags CONTAINS 'winback_customer'
  TIMESERIES day WITH TOTALS, CURRENCY 'AUD', PERCENT_CHANGE
  SINCE startOfDay(-30d) UNTIL today
  COMPARE TO previous_period
  ORDER BY day ASC
  LIMIT 1000
VISUALIZE conversion_rate TYPE line
      

This report visualises conversion performance for customers tagged through Win Back campaigns.


What these reports allow you to measure

  1. Revenue generated from campaign participants
  2. Repeat purchase behaviour (order count depth)
  3. Conversion rate improvements
  4. Campaign ROI compared to previous periods

These insights allow you to confidently scale Win Back campaigns while clearly demonstrating revenue impact to internal stakeholders.

Winner selection

Why should I use Win Back for winner selection?

Randomised, auditable draws reduce risk compared to manually choosing a winner. Win Back provides a compliant selection process and clear records, offering better protection for your brand. Campaigns must still follow your local laws and guidelines.

Can I run multiple campaigns?

Yes. You can run multiple campaigns with separate draw periods and prizes. Each campaign tracks eligible entries independently.

How can I review past winners?

Win Back applies a “winner” customer tag in Shopify. You can filter customers by this tag to view historical winners.

Plans & billing

How is pricing structured?

Plans are based on your monthly order volume so you pay in line with usage.

Is there a free plan?

No. We don’t offer a free plan.

Will this cost more if I’m on Shopify Plus?

No—pricing is the same for Shopify and Shopify Plus. Plus stores can also access a checkout extension for enhanced experiences.

Turn consent into conversion

Grow your list and revenue. Win Back helps you run compliant “win your order back” campaigns, capture consent, and issue store credit natively in Shopify.
