Dashmint is a 45-second pixel game on a Shopify storefront: shoppers earn coins by playing well, and turn them into discount codes the store sets.
Dashmint has been on the Shopify App Store since 8 October 2026. It installs from the listing, apps.shopify.com/dashmint, on the Free plan or with a 14-day trial of Season or Studio. The demo plays in the browser with no install and no account: open the demo. From 12 October to 8 November the map is Pumpkin Hollow.
Three steps, and the store keeps the last word on all three.
Pick a plan, pick a budget (0.25 to 3 percent of the last 30 days of revenue), and turn on the reward tiers to offer, each with its own minimum cart. On Free the reward is fixed: 5 percent off, up to 50 rewards a month.
A tap to jump, a swipe to slide or dash. Every shopper in the store runs the same route that day, so the coins collected reflect how well someone played, not a draw.
At a reward threshold, the coins wait in a wallet. One tap in the cart turns them into a single-use code for that customer, computed from the real cart total.
Every run happens on the store’s own domain, inside its own theme, on settings the owner sets.
Custom
A store can send a brief: a scenario, a character idea, its own brand materials. I quote a game built for that store alone, with its own mascot, its own map skin and its own rules.
Gestures instead of taps on fixed buttons, the way a good mobile game plays.
Ten characters, each with its own move.
The calendar moves the map. Nothing to deploy, nothing to remember.
Live now: Pumpkin Hollow (October 12 to November 8, 2026)
The Halloween map: lantern light, a rolling pumpkin at the finish, and a boss waiting at the end of the route.
Committed next
Neon Rush (November 9 to November 30, 2026), Christmas Lane (December 1 to December 26, 2026), Frostpeak (December 27, 2026 to January 6, 2027)
Between seasons, and on any plan that skips the calendar, the route runs on Shop Street, the evergreen map with no season attached.
Most discount games on Shopify mean a wheel, a scratch card or a mystery box. Dashmint is a different category.
| A skill game, not a wheel | A skill game | A wheel or scratch card |
|---|---|---|
| How a reward is earned | By playing today’s route. Everyone gets the same route, so the result depends on how well someone played it. | By a single spin or scratch. The odds are the same for a first visit and a regular. |
| Content over a year | A new map and a new rule on a published calendar. | The same graphic, reused for as long as the app runs. |
| What it costs as a store grows | A flat subscription and a discount budget the store sets, which the game will not pass. | Often a fee that rises with orders or traffic, or a cut of every discount redeemed. |
Billed through Shopify, in USD. The price is flat: nothing here changes with order count.

Every plan installs from the Shopify App Store and is billed by Shopify with the store’s other charges.
What comes up before a store turns the game on.
Yes. Every reward depends on how well someone plays. Everyone in the store runs the same route on a given day, and the server replays each run before its coins count, so the difference between shoppers is how they played.
The loader on the page is small, and the game itself only loads once a shopper taps to play. Nothing about the game runs on a page a shopper never opens.
On an Online Store 2.0 theme, one switch in the theme editor turns it on, and a “Play” block can be added to any page. On an older theme, a full-page play link works from any menu item or button already on the site.
Once a shopper’s coins reach a reward, it waits in their wallet. One tap in the cart turns it into a single-use code for that customer, computed from the real cart total, valid for 14 days.
They can always play. Redeeming a reward as a guest is off until the store turns it on: the store chooses which reward tiers a guest may redeem, how many a month, and how often per browser.
Dashmint stores the Shopify customer ID, order IDs and amounts, short run logs and issued codes. No names, emails or addresses. IP addresses are kept as a hash after 7 days. Hosting is Google Cloud in Warsaw, and a data processing agreement is accepted at install.
Polish and English from launch, with German planned from February 2027. The store chooses which of its languages show the game.
Through Shopify’s own billing, any time. Features run to the end of the period already paid for, then the store moves to Free automatically. Shoppers keep their coins, characters and level.
A version of the game built for one store: its own mascot, its own map skin, a scenario or character the store proposes. The store sends a brief, I send a fixed quote, and it is billed through the same Shopify billing as every other plan.
The store sets a monthly discount budget as a share of the last 30 days of revenue, from 0.25 to 3 percent. The game stops issuing new rewards once active rewards would pass half that budget, and redemptions resume the following month.
The server replays every run from its own recorded inputs and ignores the score the browser reports, so a perfect run is worth the same coins however it was played.
No. Turn on the embed, set a budget and the reward tiers, and the current season’s map, characters and quests are already in place.
The demo is the game a store gets, with sample rewards, in the browser and without an account. The install goes through the Shopify App Store.
Free plan available. Season and Studio have a 14-day trial.
