Wheelio has been on the Shopify App Store since February 9, 2017. Besides its wheel, its listing names a scratch card and a slot machine, plus sales, email, SMS and cart pop-ups, and it lists Klaviyo, Mailchimp, Omnisend, Postscript, PushOwl and SMSBump among the tools it works with¹. Every plan has the same features: its listing says All plans have unlimited features, and you pay by impressions¹. If you want one long-listed app for games and other pop-ups, connected to your email and SMS tools, Wheelio covers more ground.

Where codes come from

Your store's own discount codes, one per prize, shared by everyone who wins it

• Free forever, with no caps. Wheelio's plans count impressions¹. Spin Wheel has no paid version and no limit on pop-ups or sign-ups, so a busy sale costs nothing extra.
• Prizes are your own discount codes. Each slice is one of your store's discount codes, so a winner's code works at checkout under the rules you set on it. Everyone who wins a prize gets the same code, so give each one an end date and a limit of one use per customer.
• Every spin wins. Our servers draw one of your prizes from the odds you set, and the shopper's browser only plays the animation.
• Three games. A spin wheel, a scratch card and a gift box, with the same prizes and odds.
• No "Powered by" line on your pop-ups.

Spin Wheel sends shoppers no marketing emails or texts: winners who gave an email get a backup copy of their code, and every sign-up is listed in its Submissions page, ready to download as a CSV. Follow up with the email tool you use now, or with myuser.ai, from the same team.

Moving from Wheelio

1. List the prizes on your Wheelio wheel, then make each one a discount code in your Shopify admin, under Discounts, with an end date and a limit of one use per customer². Leave the total-use limit off, since everyone who wins a prize shares its code. If your store has no discount codes Spin Wheel can use, its Home can create three starter codes: 10% off, 15% off and free shipping (or 20% off).
2. When Spin Wheel is on the Shopify App Store (it arrives on November 18, 2026), install it there and approve it in your Shopify admin. It reads your theme's logo, colors and fonts, your products and your discount codes, and AI drafts pop-ups from them.
3. Point each slice at one of your discount codes and set the odds. The odds calculator shows what a prize mix costs per sign-up.
4. On Spin Wheel's Home, press Turn on in theme editor, check that Pop-ups is on and press Save, then click Go live.
5. Turn Wheelio's wheel off, so shoppers see one offer at a time: Spin Wheel shows one of its own pop-ups per page, but it can't hold back another app's.
