September is here and all of us Filipinos know the drill. Our Christmas shopping lists are surely underway, as we start feeling the Yuletide season vibe as early as now. We’re absolutely feeling a little more generous than usual as we set our eyes on some amazing finds for our loved ones. But with the cray-cray traffic in the metro, online shopping could be our best bet to have a hassle-free retail experience.
How would you like it if you can even even elevate your digital retail therapy by getting your cash back for every purchase click on your online cart? Like literally.
ShopBack, a one-stop lifestyle mobile app that powers smarter purchase decisions for consumers, has been leading the wave of smarter shopping in Asia Pacific with its cash back business model for online retail. Founded by Henry Chan & Joel Leong in Singapore in 2014 , this digital loyalty and discovery online portal has empowered smarter shoppers with its more than 1,500 eCommerce merchants onboard. ShopBack counts Zalora, Lazada, Taobao, Expedia and other well-known local and international brands amongst its merchants.

It has established presence in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, Taiwan and Australia, closing 1,600 orders per hour. With over 1,500 merchant partners, ShopBack constantly strives to bring a smarter shopping experience to the consumers.
“ShopBack is one of the first mobile apps globally that provides real cash instead of just reward points to consumers. This way, we empower shoppers to choose what to do with the money they save through our platform, “ Prashant Kala, Country head of Shopback Philippines, told BusinessMirror. “Since ShopBack’s inception in the Philippines in 2015, Filipinos have become more aware as how to get better value for their money every time they shop online. From then on, our clientele here have done their own research too and check various options about cash back, and we are proud to say ShopBack still leads the pack in Southeast Asia in terms of real cash back offerings. We are happy to bring that amazing online shopping experience to Filipinos.”
Getting your cash back is quite easy. “You just have to download the ShopBack mobile app and click on the icon of any of our partnering online stores that you want to shop in. Let’s say, you want to shop for a dress from Zalora– simply click on the Zalora icon within Shopback mobile app and do your shopping as you usually do. Then after 4-7 days, you will get a cashback on your ShopBack account. You can withdraw that in your bank account by clicking the withdraw button in our app. We give real cash so you can use it, as how you want to spend it.”
