About ShopBack
Save more when you use ShopBack for your online and in-store shopping.
Founded in 2014 and headquartered in Singapore, ShopBack currently serves more than 35 million shoppers across 10 markets, including Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and Australia.
It offers a cashback reward program named ShopBack GO that allows online shoppers to receive a small percentage of their purchases on the platform, paid for through affiliate programs by the merchant. The platform also provides coupons, voucher codes, and comparison features.

ShopBack GO
How does it work?
I like ShopBack’s implementation of the cashback programme. Basically all I have to do is link a credit card to my ShopBack account and spend at the shop. Transactions can happen at physical shops unlike most cashback programmes which target online purchases only.
Watch a video on how ShopBack GO works:
How do I actually receive the cashback? Does it go to my credit card statement?
I initially thought that any cashback would be automatically reflected in my credit card statement but you actually need to withdraw it to a bank account or e-wallet (DBS Paylah!, Paypal).
I personally prefer withdrawing to my DBS Paylah! e-wallet to avoid storing my banking account information on ShopBack.
Read more about earning cashback using DBS Paylah! here.
An alternative is to spend your cashback via ShopBack Pay (discussed in a later section).
ShopBack Button
ShopBack also has another really useful feature called ‘ShopBack Button’. It is an add-on to Chrome or Firefox browsers and helps to automatically apply cashback or coupon codes on partner websites.
For example, I recently purchased an office chair from HipVan and the ShopBack Button helped to try out multiple promotion codes at the checkout page.
ShopBack Pay
ShopBack Pay is a payment feature on the ShopBack app. With ShopBack Pay, users can choose to pay for in-store purchases using payment methods such as GrabPay, Visa and Mastercard. It works by linking your card to the platform and so there is no need to top up any account balance beforehand.
Paying through ShopBack Pay also means that users are able to stack up rewards and earn ShopBack Cashback on top of the usual reward points from their credit and debit cards.
ShopBack Pay also allows users to spend the ShopBack Cashback accumulated in their accounts.
ShopBack PayLater powered by hoolah [discontinued]
Launched in July 2022, ShopBack PayLater was a Buy-Now-Pay-Later (BNPL) service that allowed users to pay a third of the bill at the point of purchase, and the remaining two installments in the subsequent 2 months.
ShopBack Vouchers
