Online unboxing mystery boxes

I’ve seen some brands turn their product drops into mini events — mystery box openings, random giveaways, or digital unboxing pages.

It seems to really drive engagement and user-generated content.

Anyone tried something similar on Shopify? Curious if it’s doable without heavy coding or custom builds.

Hello @MarketingNomad ,

I hope you are well!

Yes! It is doable with Shopify. You can check the apps below:

Blind boxes have been extremely popular for the past few years. However, the rise of mystery boxes also raises concerns for some online merchants as they realize the significant cost of shipping has increased their cart abandonment rate. Many of them try offering more premium options like pre-opened items or selling a full set, but these approaches often take away the excitement that makes mystery boxes so appealing in the first place.

That’s why they have come to our very own Mysbox - a Shopify app that allows unboxing mystery boxes digitally. It solves two main problems:

  • Reduce shipping costs from excessive boxes or plastic capsules

  • Keep the excitement the same as opening in person

Many of our merchants have seen increasing engagement or sales after implementing this campaign. You can ask Gacha Gotcha for the app’s direct impact on their engagement and sales.
