Thinking of switching from RafflePress to a more WooCommerce-friendly giveaway solution? You’re not alone. Many store owners are choosing Giveaway Lottery for its native integration, flexible automation, and smoother user experience.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through the simple steps to migrate from RafflePress to Giveaway Lottery without losing data or disrupting your current campaigns.
🚀 Why Migrate from RafflePress?
While RafflePress is effective for general WordPress use, it doesn’t fully support the WooCommerce ecosystem. Here’s what WooCommerce users typically miss out on:
- No automated entry tracking based on product purchases
- Limited WooCommerce checkout and cart integration
- Basic analytics with few eCommerce-specific insights
Giveaway Lottery, on the other hand, is purpose-built to align with your WooCommerce workflows—giving you smarter automation, fairer drawings, and deeper analytics.
🔄 Step-by-Step Migration Process
✅ Step 1: Export Your RafflePress Entries
Log in to your WordPress dashboard, go to RafflePress, and export your existing entries as a CSV file. This file will serve as your entry dataset for importing into Giveaway Lottery.
✅ Step 2: Install and Activate Giveaway Lottery
Download the Giveaway Lottery plugin from WebCartisan and install it on your WooCommerce-powered WordPress site. Activate it and complete the quick setup wizard.
✅ Step 3: Import Previous Entries
Use the built-in Entry Import Tool to upload the CSV file you exported from RafflePress. The system will automatically map user data such as email addresses, entry counts, and dates.
✅ Step 4: Recreate Active Giveaways (If Needed)
If you had ongoing contests, you can easily recreate them using the intuitive setup interface in Giveaway Lottery. Choose entry types like:
- Purchase-based entries
- Coupon unlocks
- Social sharing/referrals
✅ Step 5: Customize and Launch
Apply styling options to match your brand, choose manual or automatic winner selection, and schedule future contests—all within the WooCommerce dashboard.
