What is in it

What CompKit Extra Adds

The theme handles how your site looks. CompKit Extra adds the parts that are plugin work, so you can keep them if you ever change theme. Terms and policies, the compliance pack and the setup wizard are free. The rest comes with a CompKit Themes licence.

Terms and policies, free

Enter your business details once and they fill into your terms, privacy, cookie, free entry and responsible play pages, with the footer links set up for you.

Live draws

A small player on every page while you stream your draw on YouTube or Facebook, a countdown to the next draw, and each recording kept on its competition.

Winners wall

Winner photos and a line from each winner, as a page, a strip on the home page and a card on the competition.

Compliance, free

An age check, a cookie banner that holds back tracking until it is accepted, the odds on each competition and a postal entries log.

Notify me and refer a friend

Confirmed email sign-ups that hear about every new competition, and a personal link for each customer that pays out in site credit.

Sales and setup

A sales page with sold, pace and projected sell-out per competition, and a setup wizard that walks you through the details your policies need.

Also with a CompKit Themes licence

One-Click Demo Sites

Paste your licence key into CompKit Extra and pick a demo. It builds the whole site for you: competitions, prize pictures, instant wins, pages, menus, the game looks and the theme settings. Then you swap in your own prizes and brand.

What the licence unlocks

All of CompKit Extra

  • Live draws and the winners wall
  • Notify me, refer a friend, recent entries and basket reminders
  • The sales page with pace and projected sell-out
  • Every finished demo look, with competitions, prize pictures, pages, menus and settings

Without a key the theme, terms and policies, the compliance pack and the setup wizard keep working. A demo import only ever adds: pages and competitions you already have are left alone.

Questions

CompKit Extra Questions

For most of it, yes. Terms and policies, the compliance pack and the setup wizard are free. Live draws, the winners wall, notify me, refer a friend, recent entries, basket reminders, the sales page and the demo imports all need a CompKit Themes licence.

Your settings are kept and anything you imported stays yours. The licensed parts, such as live draws and the winners wall, stop showing until the licence is active again, then pick up where they left off. The theme, your terms and policies and the compliance pack carry on working.

No. It only adds. Pages, competitions and menus with the same name are left as they are, and your business details and policy wording are kept. It is still best to import onto a new site.

The demos build competitions for CompKit Ticket Machine. Running Giveaway for WooCommerce (Flintop) or WooCommerce Lottery (WPGenie)? See how CompKit works with both, or ask us what moving across involves.

Your licence key, your site’s domain and the CompKit Extra version, sent to the CompKit licence server when you save the key and twice a day after that. When you import a demo it also says which look you picked. No customer names, orders or content. With no key saved, nothing is sent.
