Raffle for WooCommerce
Beschrijving
Raffle for WooCommerce helps you run raffles and sell tickets through your WooCommerce store. Create unlimited raffles, generate printable tickets with QR codes, and let customers buy tickets for someone else. Perfect for charities, clubs, schools, and promotional giveaways.
This plugin is completely free. No premium version. No feature locks. Everything works out of the box.
Buy Tickets for Someone Else
This is the feature that makes us different. Your customers can purchase raffle tickets as a gift for friends, family, or colleagues. The recipient gets an email notification with their ticket details. Their name goes into the draw, not the buyer’s name.
This works great for:
- Charity supporters buying tickets for elderly relatives who cannot purchase online.
- Club members purchasing tickets for their family.
- Businesses buying raffle entries for employees or clients.
- Anyone who wants to gift a chance to win.

External Services
This plugin connects to the following external services to provide certain functionality.
QR Server API
The plugin generates QR code images for raffle tickets using the QR Server API.
What gets sent: Only the ticket validation URL that gets encoded into the QR image. No personal information is transmitted.
When this happens: When a customer views or prints their ticket.
Provider: Foundata GmbH (Germany)
Privacy policy: goqr.me/de/rechtliches/datenschutz-qrserver.html
The API is free and does not require registration.
Random.org (Optional)
When you select a winner using the Random.org method, the plugin requests random numbers from their API. This gives you certified random selection for fair draws.
What gets sent: A request for random numbers. No customer data or personal information leaves your site.
When this happens: Only when you click the button to select a winner using Random.org. Never automatic.
You can read their terms at random.org/terms and their privacy policy at random.org/privacy.
You do not need to use Random.org. Manual and automatic selection work without any external connections.
