The Participants area helps merchants review customers who entered giveaway campaigns.
Use this section to check entries, tickets, order activity, customer details, and campaign participation history.
Where to find Participants #
Inside PrizeSuite, go to:
Participants
This area shows giveaway participation data for your store.
Depending on your setup, you may be able to filter or select a specific giveaway to review its participants.
What you can see #
The Participants area may show information such as:
- Customer name
- Customer email, when available
- Giveaway campaign
- Entry or ticket count
- Ticket numbers
- Order activity
- Entry source
- Participation status
- Entry date
- Related reward or giveaway activity
The exact fields may depend on your campaign type and available customer/order information.
Select a giveaway #
For the clearest view, select a specific giveaway before reviewing participants.
This helps you focus on one campaign and avoid mixing activity from multiple giveaways.
Review customer entries #
Each participant row helps you understand how a customer entered the giveaway.
Use the participant data to confirm:
- The customer entered the correct giveaway
- The expected number of entries or tickets was assigned
- The order or activity is connected correctly
- The customer details look correct
- The participation status is valid
Review tickets #
If your giveaway uses tickets, check that ticket numbers appear correctly.
Ticket numbers may be used later for:
- Customer My Rewards display
- Winner selection
- Winner announcements
- Internal campaign review
Search and filter participants #
Use available search and filter tools to find specific customers, entries, tickets, or statuses.
This is useful when a customer asks about their giveaway entry or ticket number.

Before selecting winners, review Participants and confirm:
- The correct giveaway is selected.
- Entries or tickets look complete.
- Test entries are removed or handled correctly if needed.
