WooCommerce Instant Win
Your Customer Has Just Won. Don't Make It Feel Like an Order Receipt.
On a standard WooCommerce instant win store, the biggest moment in the whole purchase is a line of text under an order summary — and the confirmation email usually gives it away first. CompKit turns that moment into a game the customer plays.

The Problem
Instant Win Works. The Reveal Doesn't.
Instant win is the strongest format in competitions because the answer arrives immediately. There's no waiting a fortnight for a live draw — the customer buys five tickets and finds out there and then. That immediacy is the whole product.
Then the delivery undoes it. Out of the box, a WooCommerce instant win result is presented like a shipping status: an order number, a line total, a list of ticket numbers, and somewhere in there, the outcome. Rendered in the theme's body text, in whatever colour the theme happens to use. Nothing moves, nothing builds, and there's nothing for the customer to do.
Worse, most stores tell them before they even arrive. WooCommerce fires the confirmation email on order completion, and on an instant win store that email frequently carries the ticket outcomes. The customer reads the result on their phone on the way to the page that was supposed to reveal it. By the time the page loads, it's a receipt.
The prize was fine. The moment was wasted.
Before & After
The Same Order, Two Different Moments
Nothing about the competition changes. The odds, the prizes and the ticket allocation are exactly as your giveaway plugin decided. Only the reveal changes.

Football Shootout
Aim, charge the shot, and take it.
The Part Everyone Forgets
A Reveal Game Is Pointless If the Email Gets There First
You can build the best reveal in the world and WooCommerce will still email the answer out the moment the order completes. The Smart Email Delay Handler holds the confirmation email until every ticket has been played, then releases it. It is part of the free plugin, and it works with all eight games and with the free Instant Reveal.

Why Operators Do This
What Changing the Reveal Actually Buys You
Being straight about it: these are the reasons operators give for wanting it. CompKit gives you the mechanism — the outcome depends on your competition, your prizes and your audience.
The moment is worth having
An interactive reveal gives the customer something to do at the exact point they most want the answer. That's what makes it memorable rather than transactional.
Your competition stops looking generic
Most instant win sites share the same handful of themes and the same default reveal. A branded game is one of the few parts a competitor can't copy by installing the same plugins.
It's built for the phone
Instant win traffic is overwhelmingly mobile. Every game is touch-first, with separate mobile and desktop sizing so you tune the layout your customers actually see.
No more spoiler emails
The one problem that makes every other improvement pointless, solved in the free plugin.
Sponsorable space
In-game advertising boards and full artwork uploads make the reveal a branded surface for a sponsor or your own campaign.
Nothing to build
No custom game development, no canvas work, no third-party embed. It's a WordPress plugin with a settings screen and a live preview.
Setup
Three Steps, and Nothing to Rebuild
1
Install CompKit alongside what you already run
WooCommerce and Giveaway for WooCommerce stay exactly as they are. Add CompKit from the dashboard and make sure Instant Win and Prize Groups are switched on.
2
Assign a reveal game to your giveaway products
Add them to the Instant Reveal category and pick the free Instant Reveal or any premium game. Then brand it — colours, artwork, button wording — with a live preview beside you.
3
That's it
The reveal runs on the order confirmation page after checkout. No shortcodes to place, no theme templates to edit, no change to how tickets or prizes are drawn.
Requirements
What CompKit Needs
CompKit is a reveal layer, not a competition platform. It does nothing on its own.
| Layer | What it does | Required |
|---|---|---|
| WordPress 6.0+ / PHP 7.4+ | The site itself | Yes |
| WooCommerce | Takes the order and payment | Yes |
| Giveaway for WooCommerce (Flintop) | Runs the competition, allocates tickets, decides the outcome | Yes |
| Instant Win + Prize Groups enabled | Tells CompKit what there is to reveal | Yes |
| CompKit Game Engine | Presents the result as a game | This bit |
To be clear: CompKit does not draw winners, allocate tickets or decide prizes. Your giveaway plugin does all of that before CompKit runs. The game always lands on the result that was already assigned.

Questions
Instant Win Reveal Questions
In a WooCommerce instant win competition the outcome of each ticket is decided at the point of purchase. The prize reveal is the moment the customer is shown that outcome. By default that's a line of text on the order confirmation page. A reveal game replaces that text with something the customer plays — a scratch card, a wheel, a slot machine — that ends on the same result.
No. The outcome is decided by Giveaway for WooCommerce before the game runs. The reveal is presentation only — it always lands on the result already assigned to that ticket. Nothing about your odds, prize allocation or draw mechanics changes.
WooCommerce sends the order confirmation email as soon as the order completes, and on an instant win store that email often carries the ticket numbers and their outcomes. It can easily arrive before the customer has finished with the confirmation page. The Smart Email Delay Handler holds those emails until every reveal is finished. It's in the free plugin.
The result was already recorded by your giveaway plugin at purchase, so nothing is lost — the reveal is a presentation of a decision that has already been made. See the documentation for how the email release is handled in that case.
No. The free Instant Reveal module animates every result and the email delay handler is free too. Premium games are £9.99 a month or £99 a year each and are licensed individually, so you can run one game rather than all eight.
The reveal runs in its own overlay on the order confirmation page and hooks into the WooCommerce order flow directly, so it doesn't depend on your theme's templates. There are no shortcodes to place and no theme files to edit.
Yes, extensively. Backgrounds, reel symbols, vehicles, dartboards, claw cabinets and in-game advertising boards are all image uploads, and every colour and label is editable — with a live preview. The theme library has free worked examples, and the customisation section shows the same module rebranded six ways.
