How does Cashback work?

You've probably heard of cashback , but do you really know how it works? If you're looking for great deals to save on your online purchases, this system could well become your best ally. Cashback has been around since the 1970s in the United States, but it really took off in France in the early 2000s. Today, more than 50% of French online shoppers use it regularly on cashback sites like Widilo.

What is cashback?

Let’s start at the beginning: what is cashback? The term “cashback” simply means “money back”. In other words, when you make a purchase through a cashback platform like Widilo, a portion of what you spend is refunded to you in the form of cash. It's a simple way to save money on your purchases, by getting a percentage of your spending back. Imagine buying a product and in return, you're congratulated by offering you money. Pretty cool, right?

Why do stores offer cashback?

Online stores, or retailers, are willing to offer you a portion of your spending in the form of cashback to encourage you to buy from them rather than elsewhere. This is a way for them to build customer loyalty while increasing their sales. It's a win-win situation: you save money, and retailers increase their sales while collecting valuable data on consumers' purchasing habits.

Is cashback worth it?

You may be wondering if cashback is really interesting? The answer is a resounding yes! When you shop online, why not get some of your spending back? Even if the percentages may seem modest, the savings add up quickly, especially if you regularly shop online on different sites.

Ultimately, cashback is a simple and effective way to save money on purchases that you were already planning to make.
