Advent Calendar: 31 days of games and gifts for customers

What this solution does

The Advent Calendar module transforms the 31 days leading up to the New Year into a series of daily activities for online store shoppers. Each day, a customer opens a new door to access a mini-game, a chapter of a festive story, or a gift from the store. This mechanic encourages daily site visits and boosts sales through calendar coupons.

What the customer receives

Daily game: a library of 40 formats is available, including wheel of fortune, scratch cards, Memory, quizzes, puzzles, and games to guess store items.

Gift: a unique single-use store coupon with a barcode, applicable in the cart and at checkout.

Story: one chapter of a festive plot or character correspondence is released daily.

Notifications: a reminder about the new door is sent via email. On the Business tariff, push notifications to the phone screen are added, along with messages in Telegram or MAX.

Module functionality

The module automatically extracts product data from the showcase—name, photo, price, and link—and uses them to populate games and the "Product of the Day" section.

Calendar coupons are created as cart rules within the store, linked to the site's currency.

The system records orders paid with calendar coupons, sending the order number and amount to the report. If the service is temporarily unavailable, data is queued and transmitted by an agent once connectivity is restored.

A button labeled "Advent Calendar" is automatically placed on the store showcase.

Multi-site support is available: each site has its own calendar, button, and set of coupons.

The Advent Calendar module by ORBIITA enables the creation of a 31-day interactive calendar featuring games and gifts for customers. The module itself is free. Seasonal publication costs depend on the tariff and the number of participants: the Start tariff (up to 1,000 users) is 9,900 rubles, the Business tariff (up to 5,000 users) is 29,900 rubles, and the Premium tariff (up to 20,000 users) is 79,000 rubles. Each tariff includes games, thematic design, activity history, and reminder emails. Integrations, push notifications, and the ability to host the calendar on a custom subdomain are available with the Business tariff. Mini-applications for messengers and priority support are provided only with the Premium tariff. Building the calendar using your own products is free for a period of 14 days.

Security is ensured by the fact that the module does not transmit personal customer data, sending only information about showcase products, codes, and the order number with the total amount. All requests between the website and the service are signed using the HMAC-SHA256 algorithm and are valid for ten minutes.

Ready-made design themes are available, including stained glass, a winter street, a theater with a velvet curtain, gingerbread, a jewelry box, and others. Texts, daily games, and gifts are configured in the calendar control panel with a mobile preview function.
