# Checkout games: A thank-you page that earns the next order.

A scratch-off or a spin right after purchase, with a reward for the shopper's next order. Fun for the shopper, and measurable for the merchant. Try both games on the order below.

Demo only. The store and order are invented, the codes don't work anywhere, and nothing you do here is saved or sent.

## The demo

A made-up store's order confirmation with two games, a scratch-off and a spin wheel. Each reveals a reward for the next order. Possible rewards: 10% off your next order; Free shipping on your next order; 15% off your next order; A free sample with your next order; Free gift wrap on your next order; 20% off one item next time.

## Every play is a number you can track.

The game is the fun part. The report is why a merchant keeps it. Here's the kind of dashboard we'd build alongside it. Sample data for illustration. Not from a real store.

- **Plays**: 1,284 (71% of orders played)
- **Codes redeemed**: 312 (24% of plays)
- **Repeat-order lift**: +9.4% (vs. a holdout that didn't see the game)
- **Days to next order**: 21 (down from 34)

## How it plugs in

Nothing here needs a custom checkout. It's built from parts Shopify already supports.

- **A thank-you page block**: The game is a checkout UI extension placed on the thank-you and order status pages, so it shows up right after purchase and the merchant can move or switch it off from the checkout editor.
- **Real discount codes**: Each play creates a single-use Shopify discount code through the Admin API, with an expiry date and any minimum order the merchant sets. The code is tied to the order that earned it.
- **Rules that stop abuse**: One play per order, checked on the server. The server picks the prize before the game starts, so the scratch or spin only reveals it. Canceled and refunded orders void their codes.
- **Measured against a holdout**: A small share of orders never see the game. Comparing their repeat rate with everyone else's is how the lift number is earned, and redemptions come straight from the orders that use the codes.
