Why the app requests permissions
| Permission | Why it is needed |
|---|---|
| Read products | Select Shopify products as contest prizes |

| Read themes | Check storefront integration status |

Optional discount access
Unique per-entrant discount rewards are a Pro feature. The first time you configure one, the editor may ask you to Allow discount access. This separately grants Shopify read_discounts and write_discounts so the app can create and issue the contest's unique codes.
You do not need to approve discount access if you do not use discount-code rewards. See Discount Code Rewards before enabling it.
Complete first-time setup
The first time you open UserLoop Contests, setup has two steps:
- Enter your contact details, choose how you heard about UserLoop, and select the language used by the app and merchant emails.
- On Pick your starting plan, choose Continue with Free or Start with Pro.
Continue with Free completes setup and opens the dashboard. Start with Pro completes setup and opens Shopify's managed pricing page, where you can review and approve the Pro subscription. Pro becomes active after Shopify approves the subscription.
After setup
UserLoop Contests appears under Apps in Shopify admin and prepares the data structures needed by its theme extensions. No separate storefront setup is required before you create a draft.
To show an active contest to customers, use Launch in the contest editor to share its standalone page, enable the popup app embed, or add the Contest Form section to an Online Store 2.0 theme.
