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

  1. Open the contest editor.
  2. Go to Build.
  3. Expand Success.
  4. Edit the heading and message.
  5. 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.

For per-entrant rewards, see Discount Code Rewards.
