How Cashback Actually Works

Ever wondered where cashback money comes from? It is not a gimmick. Retailers pay us advertising commissions when you shop, and we pass the lion's share straight back to you.

The Cashback Money-Flow Engine

Follow the journey of a €100 purchase made through Backy

Step 1

You Click & Shop

You click through Backy to a partner retailer and buy a €100 item at normal retail price.

Step 2

Store Pays Commission

The retailer pays Backy an advertising fee (e.g. 10% = €10) for sending them a paying customer.

Step 3

Backy Shares the Fee

We keep a small slice (€2) to maintain the platform and deposit €8 directly into your balance.

Step 4

Spend or Cash Out

Spend your €8 instantly on e-gift cards with €0 delay, or withdraw via SEPA bank transfer or PayPal.

The 3-Phase Reward Lifecycle

What happens behind the scenes from your click to your final payout

Phase 1

Click & Session Tracking

When you click "Shop Now", an encrypted affiliate tracking token is linked to your session so the retailer accurately attributes the sale to your Backy account.

Phase 2

Retailer Verification

Your transaction appears as "Pending" in your wallet within hours. The retailer verifies the order (typically 14–30 days) to ensure no returns or cancellations occur.

Phase 3

Confirmed Balance & Spend

Once confirmed, the reward moves to your "Available Balance". Spend it immediately on live digital e-gift cards with zero wait, or withdraw to your bank account.
