Run a "spend $50 and go in the draw" promotion. Online orders enter themselves, and at a market you hand the customer a code to scan. Find it under Marketing → Promotions.
Write your terms first
Go to Pages, write a page with the rules, and publish it. You cannot open a promotion without one — the Open entries button stays shut until a published terms page is chosen. That is deliberate: a promotion needs written rules an entrant could actually have read.
Cover the prize, the spend needed, when entries open and close, how the winner is picked and told, and who can enter.
Set the spend and the prize
The spend threshold is GST inclusive — it is the figure on the customer's receipt — and spending exactly that much counts. Postage is excluded by default, so a customer far away needs the same goods as a local one. Nothing is live until you press Open entries.
Online orders enter themselves
Once an order is paid and reaches the threshold, it is entered automatically. An unpaid order is never entered, so bank transfers and pay-on-pickup only count once the money has arrived. One entry per qualifying order, so three orders means three chances.
At a market, two ways
Both make exactly the same entry, and you can use both at the same stall on the same day. The only difference is who is holding the code — your screen, or their hand.
Market mode is better when you have a spare moment, because the tap ties the code to the sale in front of you. After a qualifying sale press Open Market mode; it opens in its own tab with a code ready. The customer scans it, or types the six digits you read out, then fills in their own name and email. Close the tab and open it again for the next customer. These codes last 30 minutes.
Printed tickets are better when there is a queue and no spare hands.
Printing tickets
The evening before, open the promotion and find Print entry codes. Choose how many, give the run a name you will recognise later — "Newcastle, Sunday" — and print. You get twelve tickets to a page. Cut them up and take them with you. At the stall you hand one ticket to each customer who qualifies, and they scan it whenever they like.
Print the evening before, not earlier. A ticket works for 24 hours from the moment you print it, not from the market. Print on Saturday evening for a Sunday market and you are fine; print on Thursday for a Sunday market and every ticket is dead before you open. The exact cut-off is shown before you print and again on every ticket.
There are no six digits on a printed ticket — the square is the only way in, which is what makes a whole sheet safe to carry. If someone genuinely cannot scan, take their name and email and use Add a market entry by hand.
A printed ticket is a raffle ticket
Whoever holds it gets the entry. There is no name on a ticket until somebody scans it, so one that falls on the ground works for whoever picks it up. Treat a sheet as stock: keep them on you, hand out one per qualifying sale, and do not leave a pile on the table. Your terms say one entry per qualifying purchase, and at a market the tickets are the only thing keeping that true.
If a sheet goes missing, find the run under Runs printed and press Void. Every unscanned ticket from that sheet stops working immediately. Anyone who already scanned one stays in the draw — they entered properly. If the printer jams, press Reprint: you get the same tickets back, not new ones, so reprinting can never double what is in circulation.
Reading the numbers
Printing 200 tickets does not add 200 entries. A ticket becomes an entry only when somebody scans it and fills it in, so your entry count will not move until people start scanning.
Opening Market mode also makes a code, so the "never filled in" count includes any you opened and closed without a customer in front of you. Do not read that number as customers who walked away.
Closing and drawing
Press Close entries when the promotion ends, then Draw a winner. One press picks the winner and four reserves from the same shuffle and emails the winner straight away; if that email fails the page says so. If the winner never claims, press Winner didn't claim and the first reserve takes their place — no new random pick happens, which is what lets you say plainly that you did not keep re-rolling until you liked the name.
Every draw records an entrant record: a long code that fingerprints the exact list of entries the winner came from, so the result can be checked later.
Prizes over $10,000
Enter a prize value over $10,000 and ShopKit warns you, because a prize pool that size generally needs an authority from NSW Fair Trading lodged before the promotion starts. It is a warning, not a block — confirm it with NSW Fair Trading yourself before announcing anything that large.
