    FAQ

    Primer — frequently asked questions.

    What is Primer on Shopify?
    Primer, officially listed on the Shopify App Store as Primer | Sweepstakes, is a Shopify app in the Giveaways and contests category. Running a sale is the default move when you want more traffic, more sign-ups, or more purchases. But over time it becomes a trap. Customers learn to wait. Margins get thinner. And the promotion stops feeling special. Sweepstakes work differently. People get genuinely excited. They share them with friends. They come back to see if they won. And you only give away one prize instead of discounting your whole catalog. Primer makes it easy to run sweepstakes on Shopify! It averages 5.00 out of 5 across 2 merchant reviews on the Shopify App Store.
    How much does Primer cost?
    Primer offers a free plan and 2 paid plans starting at $50/month and going up to $249/month. The free plan includes Free Installation, Yotpo Loyalty Integration Setup, 1 Draft Sweepstakes (Not Activatable), and Theme Block Preview. The paid plans unlock advanced features beyond what's available on the free tier.
    Is Primer free?
    Yes — Primer offers a free plan alongside paid options. The free plan includes Free Installation, Yotpo Loyalty Integration Setup, and 1 Draft Sweepstakes (Not Activatable). Paid plans start at $50/month for advanced features.
    When was Primer launched?
    Primer launched on April 9, 2026. In that time it has gathered 2 merchant reviews.
    Is Primer Built for Shopify?
    Primer does not currently carry Shopify's Built for Shopify badge. The badge is awarded to apps that meet Shopify's published standards for performance, ease of use, and merchant value — many high-quality apps operate without it.
    What are the best Primer alternatives?
    Merchants commonly compare Primer with Gift Box • Free Gift Purchase, Happy Birthday Email by UW, ViralSweep Giveaways Contests, and Giveaway Ninja • Giveaways. Each alternative covers a similar use case but differs on pricing model, integration depth, and the specific themes merchants praise in reviews — see the alternatives section above for a side-by-side.

    Methodology

    Where the numbers come from.

    Ratings, review counts, pricing tiers, “Built for Shopify”, launch date, and category memberships come from the live Shopify App Store listing — refreshed daily by Ongoing.AI’s crawler. The review-count trajectory is the diff between today’s snapshot and snapshots from 7 and 28 days ago. Topic counts and sentiment come from the review corpus, topic-tagged with Claude. Install footprint is observed via Ongoing.AI’s tech-detection pass against actively-tracked Shopify storefronts. Catalog position is computed at snapshot time against every active app sharing the primary category. Snapshot generated .
