WPHostee Competitions for WooCommerce

WPHostee Competitions turns any WooCommerce store into a prize competition platform. Customers buy tickets like a normal product; you run a fair, provably random draw whenever a competition closes.

Built with three things in mind: no overselling, no unfair draws, and a full audit trail of everything that happens.

Core features (free)

• A dedicated Competition product type – sells and checks out exactly like any other WooCommerce product
• Race-condition-safe ticket allocation – two customers can never be issued the same ticket number, even buying the last few tickets at the exact same moment
• Sequential ticket numbering, formatted with configurable leading zeros
• A cryptographically random draw (never a predictable rand()), with the exact eligible-entry list hashed and logged for later verification
• Built-in support for the skill-question requirement UK prize competitions need to stay legally distinct from a lottery
• Full admin toolkit: Dashboard, All Competitions, Entries, Ticket Reservations, Draws, and Winners (claim status, tracking number, notes, and a fully-audited Void & Redraw)
• Customer-facing “My Competitions” tab in My Account, plus countdown, progress-bar, and competition-facts shortcodes
• Run as many competitions at once as you like, all sequential-numbered – the free tier is genuinely usable on its own, not a crippled trial
• Compatible with WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS)
