Spin to Win Popup for Shopify

Straight answer: Pop Up Discount by MITS does not have a spin-to-win wheel. This guide explains how wheels work, lists Shopify apps that offer one, and shows when a plain discount popup is the better fit.

A spin-to-win popup (also called a lucky wheel or wheel of fortune) asks shoppers for their email or phone number in exchange for one spin. The wheel lands on a prize — a percentage off, free shipping, a gift — and the code is revealed on the spot. The game makes people more willing to opt in than a plain signup form.

How a spin-to-win wheel works

The popup opens on a trigger — a few seconds on the page, a scroll depth, or exit intent.
The visitor enters an email (sometimes a phone number) to unlock the spin.
The app picks a prize by the odds you set and animates the wheel to land on it. The result is decided before the wheel stops, so shoppers cannot game it.
The discount code is shown, and the contact is added to your list.

Why wheels collect more sign-ups

Two things do the work: the fun of playing and the feeling of having "won". A shopper who earned a reward is more invested in using it. The cost is that you hand out several different prizes and attract visitors who came for the game — so the list grows faster, but you need to watch redemption and margin.

Best for	Seasonal campaigns, fast list growth	Everyday welcome offer, cart recovery

What prizes to put on a wheel

The prize mix decides whether the wheel builds a list without wrecking your margins:

A common slice — a modest 5–10% off that most spinners land on.
A mid slice — free shipping or a slightly larger discount.
A rare "jackpot" — a bigger reward that appears infrequently.
A soft consolation — a small offer, so no one leaves empty-handed.

Work out the blended cost: if 70% of spinners win 10%, 25% win free shipping and 5% win 25%, your average giveaway is close to a 10–12% discount plus shipping — compare that with a flat 10% code.

When a plain discount popup is the better choice

Thin margins. One known discount is easier to absorb than a mix of prizes.
A premium brand. A carnival wheel can feel off-brand; a clean offer does not.
Cart recovery. A shopper leaving the cart wants a reason to buy now, not a game — see the cart abandonment popup setup.
Mobile-heavy traffic. A wheel needs screen space; a compact form with one field is quicker to complete.

Build the no-wheel version in Pop Up Discount

Install Pop Up Discount by MITS (free plan) and enable the app embed in your theme editor.
Write the offer in the Main window block and add your discount code. Keep the email field, and add name or phone if you need them.
Set Trigger to a 5–10 second delay, a 40–60% scroll depth, or exit intent — see the best timing for a popup discount.
In Advanced, set After subscribing → Don't show again, and choose how soon it may reappear after closing (every new session or after 3–180 days).
Follow up with the captured emails in Shopify marketing automation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a spin-to-win popup?

It is a gamified popup where shoppers enter their email or phone number to spin a wheel and win a discount, free shipping or a gift. The game usually lifts opt-in rates compared with a plain form.

Does Pop Up Discount have a spin-to-win wheel?

No. Pop Up Discount shows one discount code to every shopper who subscribes, with a time-delay, scroll-depth or exit-intent trigger. If you need a wheel, use a dedicated spin-to-win app.

Which Shopify apps have a spin-to-win wheel?

Dedicated wheel apps such as Wheelify, CrazyRocket and Original Wheelio, and broader popup platforms such as Privy and OptiMonk. The Shopify App Store lets you filter popup apps by the Spin the wheel feature.

Is a spin-to-win wheel better than a discount popup?

It usually collects more sign-ups, but you hand out a mix of prizes you have to budget for, and the game appeals to deal hunters. A single clear discount is easier to forecast and keeps the popup lighter.
