Card up front,
or pay after.
Every SuperSwipe release now starts with one choice. Standard locks a payment method at entry and charges winners automatically the moment the draw ends. Pay After drops the card entirely: winners get a private checkout link by email and pay while supplies last. Same draw. Same bot wall. Your call.
Same draw. Different checkout.
Filtration, VIP access, and the live draw work identically in both modes. The only thing that changes is how fans commit, and when the money moves.
Card up front.
Fans enter through Shopify checkout and lock in a real payment method. When you end the draw, winners are charged automatically and their orders are created on the spot. Losers are never charged a cent.
- Payment method secured at entry: every entry is backed by a card
- Winners charged automatically the moment the draw closes
- Optional entry fee, collected up front
- Zero follow-up: orders land in Shopify like any other sale
No card. Just a form.
Fans enter with a form. Email and size, done. After selection, winners receive a private checkout link by email and pay while supplies last. Friction at entry drops to zero, so reach goes up.
- No payment method at entry, so nothing to abandon
- Private checkout link, emailed to each winner
- Links go out in timed waves, calibrated to live inventory
- Unused links recycle to the next fan in line
How each mode plays out.
Four beats, start to finish. The draw is identical. Watch where payment happens.
Enter through checkout
Fans check out like a normal order. $0 today (or your entry fee) and the payment method is saved.
Draw closes
Filtration sweeps bots, duplicates, and risky cards. Winners are drawn from clean entries only.
Winners charged automatically
Cards are charged the moment selection runs. No links, no reminders, no chasing.
Orders created
Winning orders land in Shopify, ready to fulfill. Losing entries are released, never charged.
Enter with a form
Email plus variant. No checkout, no card, no friction.
Draw closes
The same filtration wall runs, minus the card checks, because there is no card.
Checkout links go out
Winners get a private checkout link by email, released in timed waves matched to your live stock.
Pay while supplies last
Live Shopify inventory is the referee. Stock hits zero or the window closes. Either way, you never oversell.
One button. Two doors.
Fans see the same SuperSwipe button either way. Standard walks them into a $0-today checkout that locks a card. Pay After opens a form that takes thirty seconds and asks for nothing else.
AJ1 Low OG “Tropical Pink” · Size 9
$150.00
Entry is a Shopify checkout: $0 today, and the card is locked before the draw closes.
Entry is a form. The only checkout that exists is the winner’s private link.
Paid status, two rhythms.
The same release view in both modes, down to the storefront button. Standard turns every winner green the moment selection runs. Pay After fills in as links convert, while supplies last.

Same table, same columns. The Paid column is the only thing marching to a different beat, and the storefront button tells fans exactly which beat that is.
Side by side.
The defaults that matter, with no fine print.
| Standard | Pay after | |
|---|---|---|
| Entry | Shopify checkout | Form: email + variant |
| Card at entry | Required, saved for the win | None |
| Winner payment | Automatic charge at selection | Private checkout link by email |
| Losing entries | Never charged | Never charged |
| Bot filtration | Full wall, including card-risk checks | Full wall, minus card checks |
| Oversell protection | Winner count gated by stock | Live inventory is authoritative |
| VIP access | Silent VIPs + reserved draft links | Silent VIPs + reserved draft links |
| Best for | High-heat drops where conversion is everything | Maximum reach and friction-free entries |
Both modes ride the same rails: one filtration wall, one VIP toolkit, one live draw, all Shopify-native.
