The success state appears immediately after a confirmed entry. Use it to reassure the entrant, explain the next step, and present any earned reward or bonus actions.
Edit the message
- Open the contest editor.
- Go to Build.
- Expand Success.
- Edit the heading and message.
- Save the contest.
Use Design and switch the preview from Entry to Success to check the finished state on desktop, mobile, popup, and app-block layouts.
What can appear after entry
Depending on the contest configuration, the success experience can include:
- Your custom heading and message.
- A unique Shopify discount code for the entrant.
- Bonus actions.
- A unique referral link with Copy and a native Share button when supported.
- Successful referral count and progress towards the maximum referral reward.
- Confirmation that the entry was accepted.
Copying or sharing a referral link does not award entries. The configured reward is added after a new entrant completes a valid entry through that link. See Referral Sharing.
Writing effective success copy
- Confirm that the entrant is successfully entered.
- Explain when and how winners will be contacted.
- Mention bonus-entry opportunities clearly.
- If referrals are enabled, explain how many entries a successful referral earns and the maximum reward.
- If a discount is provided, state its expiry and important conditions.
- Keep the most important information near the beginning for mobile visitors.
Built-in system text follows the selected contest language. Translate your custom heading and message yourself when running a localized contest.
