Raffle Factory comes as a new product to provide more power to our eCommerce Extension Suite.
A raffle is a competition in which people buy numbered tickets. Originating in southern Italy, it is a popular game in numerous countries and is often held to raise funds for a specific event, charity, or occasion.
| The raffle involves many people buying tickets for a chance to win a certain prize or prizes. At a set date, the winners are drawn from a bucket containing a copy of every number or a tombola (from Italian: tombola ['to:mbola]). The ticket is then checked against a collection of prizes with numbers attached to them. A raffle also often involves several different possible prizes that can be won and a ticket will simply be drawn from the group at random for each of the prizes one by one. Our Raffle Solution provides allot of the features encountered in the "Auction Factory Suite", but this time specialized in the raffle field, with specific settings like: |  |
- Price per ticket.
- Buyer can purchase several tickets; ticket numbers will be sent to the buyer, for each purchased ticket.
- Administrator statistics to see the number of purchased tickets per each auction.
- Payments will be processed with the integrated payment methods, like paypal, moneybookers or with the possibility to integrate new payment gateways using the published API.
- email notifications for all stages (enable/disable)
- public statistic to see original total number of available tickets and total number of tickets sold to date.
- Seller has option to end raffle early before all tickets sold, a winner will be automatically random chosen, notified and displayed in the auction.
- user can see his purchased tickets (won/selected for top 100/selected for top 10/selected for top 3/lost).
The raffle can end automatically with a predefined work flow as follows, where the winner is announced 4 days later after the end of raffle, then displayed in the details and notified.
- 1st day (change "top" to "random") 100 participants will be displayed.
- 2nd day (change "top" to "random") 10 participants (from 1st day's 100) will be displayed.
- 3rd day (change "top" to "random") 3 participants (from 2nd day's 10) will be displayed.
- 4th day random 1 participant from 3rd day's 3 will be chosen winner and displayed.
In case of notary usage, instead of the work flow above, a ticket list can be exported to be used for an outside draw, then the winner ticket number has to be entered in the platform.
