Welcome to PrizeSuite – Giveaway & Campaign Engine for WooCommerce. This quick start guide will help you launch your first giveaway campaign in just a few minutes.

PrizeSuite extends WooCommerce by allowing you to create ticket-based giveaway campaigns directly from WooCommerce products. Customers purchase entries, receive tickets, and winners are selected when the campaign ends.

Upload and activate the PrizeSuite plugin from the WordPress admin dashboard:

1. Go to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin.
2. Upload the PrizeSuite plugin ZIP.
