Two different things share this word, and Shopify's own categorisation separates them even though the search does not. One is a prize draw: entries collected, a winner chosen, something given away. The other is allocation of a scarce product, where winning means being permitted to buy a limited drop rather than receiving anything free. The first is filed under giveaways and contests, the second under pre-orders, and they attract entirely different buyers.

Neither is supported by anything native. Shopify has no concept of an entry, no counter, and nothing that draws at random: its automation tool can count and sum but cannot select a winner, and none of the function APIs is a draw. So the mechanism, the fairness, and the record of who entered are all the app's, sitting outside your store, which is worth knowing before you promise anybody a transparent process.

What to look for in a Giveaway app

Establish which of the two you are running: Giving something away and rationing something scarce are opposite exercises with opposite risks, and the apps are built for one or the other. The listings will not always signpost it, so read for whether the prize is a product you send or the right to buy one.
How the draw can be shown to be fair: Since the platform contributes nothing here, everything about the selection happens inside the app. Ask what record exists of the entries and the draw, and whether you could show it to a disappointed entrant, because a process you cannot evidence is a process you will eventually be asked to evidence.
What entering does to your marketing list: Entrants hand over an address to win something, which is not the same as asking to hear from you. Check what consent is recorded and what these people receive afterwards, since a list built from a giveaway behaves very differently from one built from interest, and treating them alike damages both.

What does the Built for Shopify badge mean?

Built for Shopify
Built for Shopify is the highest level of recognition Shopify awards an app. To earn the badge, an app must meet Shopify's standards for safety, performance, ease of use, and proven usefulness: it cannot slow down the admin, storefront, or checkout, must integrate seamlessly into the Shopify admin, and must demonstrate quality through installs, reviews, and ratings over time. When comparing similar apps, preferring ones with the badge is a safe default. Learn more about the Built for Shopify badge →
