Players can send items from their Webkinz Next accounts back to Webkinz Classic, and have collection event prizes sent from Classic to Next as long as both accounts are linked!
Linking your accounts is easy – just log in to Webkinz Next using the same username and password that you already use for Classic. And if you don’t have a Classic account, you can create one using your Next username and password! It’s that simple!
If you have created a new Webkinz Next account without using the same username and password as your Classic account, don’t worry! There is still a way to link your accounts.
In Webkinz Next, open the Options menu which you can find in the top right corner of your screen.
You can then tap “Create GANZ Account”. If you already have a Classic Account, you can enter it here and the accounts will be automatically linked. If you do not have a Classic account, you will have to create a Ganz Account. Then you can go over to Classic and use the same login/password to create an account there.
To send items back to Classic, look for the moving van at the bottom of your Dock when you’re logged into Next, and click on it. Now you can select which items you want to send.
Not all items are available to be sent back to Classic, so we’ve included a handy checkbox that isolates the items you can currently send. Certain items even offer the option to buy a duplicate before sending them off.
Now hit ‘Send’ and that’s it! The next time you log into Classic, you’ll see a message in the Message Center letting you know your item has been added to your Dock.

I created a Webkinz Next account first. I never played Classic. And when I try to login into Webkinz classic, it lets me login but I need to adopt a pet because I never played and when I try to I get an error message that says that username is already taken. How would I link my accounts in this situation? Thank you.
When you load up the Desktop App for Classic, make sure you click Login and not “I’m New” — then log in using the username and password you have for Next.
I did this! It let’s me login with my Webkinz next username and password, and go through picking a free pet and all but then stops me and says “this username already exists” and won’t let me go any further!
Just for clarification, are you using the Webkinz Classic desktop app downloaded from http://www.webkinz.com or the mobile app?
Either way, you’ll need to email webkinzsupport@ganz.com for assistance so they can check into it for you.
I am using the mobile apps. I have emailed the support email last week but no response yet. Thank you!
I know the mobile app can be funky sometimes, so if you can access a Windows or MacOS machine at least to log in from once, that should work without issue.
I accidently created my next account with a different user name by one number. Is there a way to change it?

Don’t create a Classic account. Log in to Classic with the username and password you created for Next.
I am trying to do this now, somehow I was able to log in on here, but webkinz classic says I can log in since the username already exists?
Are you trying to create a new account or did you press login on Webkinz Classic?
Im just trying to log in, but since I need to adopt a pet for the account I have to add the login information for my next account
I didn’t play classic for years but then started Next with a new user. Is there a way to link them up? I couldn’t remember the account info for classic but now I found my little paper with the info on it. I have logged in to my old classic account and was astounded how much had changed. LOL Not sure if connecting them together is possible. Hope so, though.
Unfortunately Classic and Next accounts can only be connected if they have the exact same user name and password.
This will be wonderful if it works. Hopefully we can send other items to Next from Classic also.
Does the item remain in Classic also and duplicate sent to Next? Or are they all sent to Next and we have to send them back to Classic?
