You sell at full price.
We pay the cashback.
Playably runs the campaign, funds every refund, and handles the compliance.
Buy at full price. Win it all back if the moment hits.
Tie your offer to a moment shoppers already care about. No discount, no markdown, no catch. Shoppers enter with your campaign code, buy at full price, and they’re in. If the trigger hits, Playably pays them 100% back.
Straight answers to the questions you will get asked
Almost. Every campaign has a code, and shoppers opt in with one tap, at checkout or on the landing page, then buy at full price. No hunting for a coupon, no hoops. If the trigger hits, a quick form and they’re paid by Venmo or PayPal.
No. The checkout opt-in is a code snippet that runs on any Shopify plan. We install it in your store, leave it switched off, and you turn it on once you’ve looked at it. Your developers never get a ticket.
Playably. Most companies hedge against the bad thing happening. We hedge the good thing, so the win is already paid for before it lands. You keep full margin and pay $0.
No. It’s a conditional rebate on a real, published event, with a no-purchase path.
None. You charge full price and keep 80%+ either way. The cut comes from your discount budget.
No. Shoppers get 100% back within days. Published terms, no-purchase path, no gimmick.
Turnkey solutions to stop losing margin.
Four steps from impression to payout. Watch one shopper move through the whole loop. Your team approves the brief; we run every one.
Playably runs the play ▸ your brand earns.
Brick & mortar. Ecom. Events. One loop.
The same Play & Win loop runs anywhere you sell: your store, a live event, even the shelf. Opt in, play, pay full price, win it back.
A QR on the packaging or a POS sign turns any shelf into an entry point.
ON-PACK QR · POSA code on the jumbotron, a text after kickoff, a card at the gate.
QR · SMSA playable ad, a link in bio, or an on-site widget at checkout, live the same day.
AD · SOCIAL · ON-SITEOne loop, wherever they shop
Full-price conversion, not a markdown
Event-based rebates and play-to-win mechanics give shoppers a reason to buy now at full price. You protect margin instead of discounting to it.
Zero-party data you can actually use
Every play reveals preferences and intent, feeding segmentation, recommendations, and lifecycle flows long after the campaign ends.
One loop across every channel
The same Play & Win experience runs on-site, in playable ads, in-store via QR, and at live events, so a single mechanic compounds everywhere your shoppers are.

Frequently asked questions.
Playably is a gamified-rebates platform for Shopify brands. Shoppers pay full price for a chance to win 100% cashback 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. You set a liability cap up front. If the trigger hits, Playably funds the cashback. Beyond your cap, we absorb every dollar. Your margin is never exposed to the trigger.
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. If your customers are already watching it and the outcome is verifiable, we can model the odds and the cap.
Most campaigns go live in under 14 days. 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 rebate liability. Playably insures and funds every payout. You pay a share of the sales the campaign drives, so the cost comes out of the discount budget you would have spent anyway. Book a demo and we will size it for your store.
