Shopback - cashback service

ShopBack is a cashback service that helps you save money by giving you cashback on every purchase you make. Founded in 2014, ShopBack has over 45 million users worldwide and is particularly popular in Asia.

Is it free?

Yes, it's completely free. ShopBack receives commission payments from the partners where you make purchases and shares part of these commissions with you in the form of cashback. Everyone benefits from this: the partner (store), because you bought a product or service from them; ShopBack, because it keeps part of the commission; and you, because you get some of your money back.

In fact, cashback is used as an incentive to make you choose a store that offers cashback over one that doesn’t. So even though the store loses a small amount on commission payments, it’s still better than losing a customer to a competitor.

Is cashback real money?

In fact, yes, because you can withdraw it to your bank account. This is not some kind of virtual bonus that you can use as a discount on future purchases, but real money.

How ShopBack works

ShopBack is actually very easy to use. Let's go over the step-by-step instructions.

1. Register on the ShopBack website.
   Create an account — you can do this using your mobile number or email (depending on your region), or through Facebook, Google, or Apple (also depending on your region).

2. Explore the list of partners.
   See which partners offer cashback by using the search function or browsing the appropriate categories. You might find stores where you already shop or discover new ones you didn’t know about before.

3. Activate cashback.
   On each partner (store) page, there is a button to activate cashback. Click it to be redirected to the store’s website, then shop as you normally would.

4. Receive cashback.
   Once you’ve made a purchase, cashback will be credited to your account. However, you won’t be able to withdraw it immediately — the store must first confirm that the purchase was successful and no return was made. After that, it reconciles the transaction with ShopBack to approve your cashback. This process is automatic; you just need to wait.

5. Withdraw cashback.
   Once the store confirms your cashback and you reach the minimum withdrawal threshold, you can withdraw the money to your bank account.

Tip: Install the ShopBack mobile app for convenience if you shop using your smartphone. Also, install the browser extension — it will remind you about cashback opportunities when you visit a store’s website.
