Raffle Ticket Generator – Woocommerce

Description

The free version of this plugin generates 500 unique raffle ticket numbers and then recycles. It starts with ticket number 100 and increments each ticket number by 1 until 599. The 501st ticket will be assigned number 100 again and so on. This is designed for small raffles. Upon completing checkout in WooCommerce, the customer is emailed the ticket numbers.

To setup the raffle, simple install the plugin as described below. Then create a product in WooCommerce and put in the number of raffle tickets for the product. Example, if you put 5 in the number of tickets field, that product will generate 5 tickets.

The Silver Version also included the option to generate graphical ticket images from a selection of stock images and includes a pick a winner feature to select a winner for your raffle and embed it in a page or post using shortcodes.

The Gold version includes Archiving, Backup and Restore capabilities, a 50-50 or Split the Pot Raffle Feature, use custom raffle ticket images, and the ability to manage and limit ticket sales for a specific raffle.

FAQ

Can I define a custom raffle ticket number format?

Not with this version. The Silver and Gold versions allow that.

Does this allow me to sell unlimited tickets?

Yes, although the numbers recycle after the first 500 tickets, so there are only 500 unique numbers.
The Silver and Gold versions allow unlimited unique ticket numbers.

Is this a trial version of the paid full feature editions?

No, this is simple version for small raffles. This is not a trial of our full featured editions.

Can I remove the WPRaffle branding from the order emails?

Not with this version. The Silver and Gold versions allow that.

Leading Plugin for Raffles | Outstanding Customer Support

abdtlcmarketing August 15, 2022

I needed a Raffle plugin and after doing some research and comparing functionality, easy set-up, and prices I found Raffle Ticket Generator to be the best plugin. I ran into a a few issues (all of the issues where created by me) so I reach out for support. I literally got a response in a few minutes, they resolved my issue right away and guided me through the process. Honestly, it’s been a while since I ran into a company that gives amazing support without having to wait days for a response. I’m sure everyone has been through the same. But not with Raffle Ticket Generator they’re on top of their game!! Wish I could give them 10 star rating!! They sure deserve it. And the plugin is easy and works really good for raffles.

No localization options

Jorge Calle July 28, 2019

The plugin works ?? However, I tried translating it with LocoTranslate and it doesn’t offer strings for translation. More information on how to get this implemented on the plugin here: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/I18n_for_WordPress_Developers Once the plugin gets this implemented, I’ll be happy to change my rating.

Amazing Plugin, Fantastic Support. Top Marks!!

pootle2 November 7, 2016

This tool is amazing, and the techy guys are superb – helped me every step of the way, and sorted out any issues I had (through my own newbieness, not the plugin) quickly and with such willingness. I don’t even know what the time difference is but they were there straight away. If you’re looking for a beautiful, simple and effective fund-raising tool, backed by some sterling guys, this is it. Well done and thank you Raz and Teo!

Works Perfect

ultratech789 September 3, 2016

We bought the pro version as the free version is basically just a test to show you can generate ticket numbers. For the guy who says there are no instructions, maybe you should check their site as they have a few step by step videos showing how to set it up. Works great for 2 raffles – where one was a 50-50 cash giveaway and one was the grand prize. A few things would be nice to have if the developer reads this, is to make a choice to be able to show the total amount of a cash raffle and to allow for a percentage. Example if current tickets are $200 then the prize would be $100. We will manually go in and post the current value as of xx date, but that would be a nice feature to have.

Attributes…

What do you even do with the attributes? this is very complex to use and there is no documentation regarding how to at least make your first product using this plugin. I’ll shoot 1 star since it was useless to me, I may update the rating as soon as some sort of manual shows up.

Good plugin to have a raffle

piercedev72 September 3, 2016

We have been searching for a plugin to generate a raffle for a customer. There is simply nothing out there. We found this and had some questions. We contacted Teo and he gave us a 2 week trial key and we ended up purchasing it. It works with woocommerce perfectly, but you might have to tweak things if you want tickets to display in pdf invoices or if your payment processor does not send back the payment confirmation. We used paypal simple and had to manually check to send the completed order which added the ticket numbers. We upgraded to paypal pro and it works automatically. Not the fault of the raffle plugin, but something to think about.
