How to Configure Wheel Sectors
After saving your initial wheel setup, you’ll be directed to the Sectors Configuration Panel. This is where you define what the user can win, their chances, and how they’re rewarded.
How to Set Up Each Sector
Click the pencil icon on any row to open the sector editor:
Basic Settings
Name: What appears visually on the wheel (e.g., Free Gift, Try Again).
Is Loosing: Toggle this ON if the sector should be a losing one.
Win Message: A message shown when the sector is landed on.
Rewards & Linking
You can reward users and direct them to shop using:
Coupon Code: Enter a valid Shopify coupon code.
Product ID: Add a specific product ID to automatically apply in cart.
Combo: If both Coupon + Product ID are added, they apply together at checkout.
Deeplink to Category: Route users to a product category by its ID.
Deeplink to Product/s: Direct to one or multiple products (comma-separated IDs).
Image: Upload a graphic to visually represent the prize on the wheel.
Win Chance
Set how likely this sector is to be landed on.
Higher numbers = higher odds (e.g., “5” is more likely than “1”).
Make sure your total chances add up proportionally across all sectors.
Best Practices
Offer meaningful rewards: Discounts, free shipping, or mystery gifts.
Use catchy titles and CTAs like “Spin & Save!” or “Your Lucky Day!”
Create urgency by tying the wheel to limited-time promotions.
Monitor performance with app analytics to adjust strategy.
