2) Approve the permissions
Here's how we use the permissions:
- Customers: we need access to customers so participants can be added to your Shopify customer list and synced with integrations such as Klaviyo and other email marketing tools.
- Orders: we use order data to track sales, attribute them to giveaways and reward entries when purchases are made.
- Products: we read product details so you can set up "Make a Purchase" rules, for example buying a specific product or collection to earn entries.
- Online Store: required to embed the giveaway widget and make sure it displays properly on your storefront.

3) Select your plan
Take a moment to choose the plan that best suits your needs. You can compare Giveaway Ninja plans and their entrant limits first.
We offer a 7-day free trial, and you can upgrade or downgrade at any time.

4) Approve the charge on Shopify
Accept the charge on Shopify and you'll be redirected to the dashboard. You won't be charged if you uninstall the app before the trial ends.

5) Activate the app embed
To show the widget, you need to activate the app embed on your theme.
Open Theme Editor > App Embeds and switch on GiveawayNinja Script.

If the widget still doesn't appear after a refresh, see why your giveaway isn't showing up on your store.
Done
🥳 Congratulations! You installed Giveaway Ninja. Now you can create your first giveaway.
