Reading the Important Things to Know
WeShop has hundreds of retailers across different industries, we work with each retailer individually to make sure we've covered any unique, odd & unusual things you'll need to know about before you make your purchase to ensure your Shareback will be approved by the retailer.
We've broken down a few of the more common terms to look out for by industry below, but, always read the Important things to know on the retailer page to be sure.
When shopping for products on WeShop, we'd suggest making sure you're buying the items you'd normally buy and not buying with unusual shopping patterns (for example, buying 100 pairs of Apple AirPods would likely flag up as fraudulent).
Returning a physical item (either in-store or postage) will result in your shares being removed from your dashboard. If you've only made a partial return (i.e. you've bought 3 items and returned 1 item), your shares will be adjusted accordingly.
If you're seen to be buying lots of the same items, your account will be flagged by the retailer and/or by WeShop. This is to make sure we're actively targeting fraudulent purchases.
Make sure you always complete your purchase online, using a supported debit/credit card. For example, if you reserve & pay in-store then it's unlikely you'll earn shares for your purchase.
Whilst every retailer is slightly different you won't earn shares on any additional fees at check-out (i.e. credit card fees, delivery & shipping). You'll only earn shares on the value of your items.
WeShop can't guarantee every item in your basket will be eligible for Shareback, it's important to read the Important Things to Know on a retailer's page before purchasing to make sure.
If you've made a particularly expensive purchase or repeatedly purchased from the same retailer in a very short period of time (for example, 10 purchases in 1 hour), your account may be flagged for review. This is a temporary measure to make sure your purchases are genuine.
Extended warranties, protection plans & subscription-based support (for example, Apple Care Plans) won't be included when the shares are awarded.
Always pay online when ordering a takeaway for delivery or collection, if you choose to pay in cash for your takeaway then you will not earn Shareback.
