Raffle for WooCommerce
The only WooCommerce raffle plugin that lets customers buy tickets for others - and it's 100% free.
Why Raffle for WooCommerce?
Most raffle plugins lock essential features behind paywalls. We believe raffles should be accessible to everyone - charities, clubs, and small businesses alike.

Our unique feature that no other plugin offers:
- Customers can buy tickets for friends, family, or colleagues
