Adding Prizes to Your Prize Store

There are three prize types for members to redeem their points on; sweepstakes, auctions, and items. If you have a Stripe account set up within your program, you can also give members the option to purchase cash items.

Note

For more information on setting up a Stripe account, please contact help@fanmaker.com.

Sweepstakes


Sweepstakes work like any raffle drawing. Members can enter a sweepstakes using their points. Members can enter as many times as they want up to their total available balance. Members will not receive any points back, even if they are not drawn as a winner of the sweepstakes. Sweepstakes are great for experiences, autographed items, or any high value item.


From the sweepstakes dashboard you’re able to sort by active sweepstakes, upcoming sweepstakes, ended sweepstakes, and all sweepstakes.
