Don’t just take our word for it
Higher AOV, stronger retention, $0 of margin given up.

“Turning off discounting actually increased my sales. A total win-win.”
It was the perfect Christmas game, and I look forward to running it again next year. Participant AOV rose 40%, and we never touched our price.

“Our best Meta campaign in a month, and it wasn't even a sale.”
March Madness overtime cashback: 27% click through lift and $0 discount given up. Nobody shares a coupon, but everyone shares a shot at a free dash cam.

“The conversion results speak for themselves. Can't wait to do more together.”
A playful health quiz that matches each visitor to the right remedy tripled conversion versus the old flat quiz and lifted add-to-cart 36% across the catalog.
Frequently asked questions
Playably is a gamified-cashback platform for Shopify brands. Shoppers pay full price for a chance to win 100% cashback (before tax and shipping) when a real-world trigger hits: a game going to overtime, snow on Christmas, a brand milestone. You keep full margin; we assume the financial risk.
No. If the trigger hits, Playably pays your customers directly from our own hedge, not through refunds in your Shopify. You pay $0 toward the payout and are never liable for it.
It isn't a discount. Customers pay full price, so revenue lands in your Shopify exactly as it always has: no codes in the wild, no markdown stamped on the product, no brand equity lost.
Sports finals and overtimes, weather events, cultural moments, and brand milestones. Any kind of brand can run one. If your customers already care about it and the outcome is verifiable, we can model the odds and the cap.
We build and launch quickly. For a big moment, talk to us early so your emails and social have time to land. You approve the brief and the creative; we handle official rules, AMOE disclosures, hedging, tracking, verification, and payouts.
Performance pricing, with no setup fee and no cashback liability. Playably insures and funds every payout. We take a revenue share of 20 to 25%, depending on the event, and only on the revenue we drive: orders from shoppers who opt in to the offer, not your whole store. We don't succeed unless you do. Book a demo and we will size it for your store.
Shoppers see a promotion from your brand. They pay full price, enter with a $0 code at checkout, and if the stated event happens, they get their purchase price back. The hedging stays behind the scenes and shoppers never see it. We pick positive moments that fit your brand, never divisive or negative ones.
Yes. You can run it for one group, such as a churn list, second-purchase customers or new customers. We often suggest starting small, and we shape the event and the creative to that group.
Yes. We give you the email and SMS copy and creative to send from your own tools, like Klaviyo or Attentive, so your customer data stays in your stack. The code applies from the link, so shoppers barely notice it.
Generally no. The offer is built not to stack, because a second discount confuses shoppers and can lower order value. Bundle pricing can still work.
Every campaign names one independent source that shoppers can check, such as a named weather station or NASA's data, and one location, such as snow in New York on Christmas Day. Shoppers see the same stated condition wherever they live. If a trigger can't be verified cleanly, we pick a different one.
Playably pays them directly, not your store, and your brand is never liable for the payout. Shoppers deal with your brand for the whole campaign, right up to the payout.
