We are very pleased to announce that the WShop has gotten a makeover! It’s now easier than ever to find what you need!
All the main categories are listed along the left side of the WShop (New Items, Food, Furniture, etc…). Some of these categories have subsections that are listed along the top of the shop. Subsections mean that you can find what you are looking for faster. For example, in the old WShop there was only one main category for “Fun Stuff”. In the NEW WShop “Fun Stuff” is divided into multiple subsections like “Games”, “Books”, “Toys” and “Seeds”:
We have also made buying items easier! Before we were using a “check out” system and you had to add items to your “cart” before you bought them. Now, all you need to do is click the BUY button and your item will magically jump into your Dock:
Did you notice that you can also buy items with eStore Points in the new WShop? These are some of our coolest items available and to celebrate, we are giving EVERYONE 2000 FREE eStore points! The amount of eStore points you have is displayed above your pet’s portrait (next to your KinzCash). Want some more? Click on the green “+” sign to add more points to your account:
Remember, you must login to your Webkinz World account BEFORE April 1st to get your points.

I know a couple of people have said that the Mega Modern room theme in their dock when they go to the W-shop, It’s been happening to me when I try to sell stuff. I can still sell stuff and everything works fine, it’s just a little annoying. Please fix this Ganz.
Go to “fun stuff” and the tab all the way on the left should be titled “building kits” Hope this helps! ~*JaneOfAllTrades*~

Not the best new feature. Where is the super bed pictures? Unfortunately no recycle bin for the stuff in our dock we can’t sell, trade or give away and don’t want. Sketchy pictures combined with e store stuff. No shopping cart so we can filter our purchases. So sad to waste time on creating this new feature. hope it gets an update to make it user friendly.
how do i use my deluxe gift boxes use to have a spot that you click on dont know if everything is all mixed up i dont like the new w shop
I love the new shop and all but I wish the estore items and the wshop items were separate…. But like I said before I LOVE everything else
The new wshop has a few good features and some not so good. I like to be able to buy or sell without loading my dock. But if I have my dock loaded already and want to sell something, I open the wshop and everything gets rearranged and I have to tryt to remember the name of the item so I can find it again. But I do like the fact that selling things is faster and you can do more at once. I would like to be able to find the items that are on-sale easily without having to hunt for them. And I think most people don’t like the estore things mixed in with everything else.
I am sure that, in time, we will get used to the new setup. Until then I will not be buying nearly as much as I used to. The pictures and prices are much to small to see clearly and since the shopping cart was removed I do not know how much I am spending or where the best place to use a coupon is. I would be very happy if my dock was set up this way. jenniferobbi
The new WShop is ok. The design is better, having things sorted is nice. But, having the WShop items with eStore items is confusing. It would be nicer to be able to choose to see only WShop items, or only eStore items, not all mixed together. You also need to bring back the shopping cart feature. Being able to see items in the shopping cart was nice, especially if you are deciding on certain items and aren’t sure which you want, or how it looks with something else. The shopping cart was especially nice when looking at walls and floors, so you could see what looks good together.
the new W-shop is great for the most part, just not the part when I hit the sell button to sell stuff then it can’t connect me to Webkinz and I have to log in again Please fix soon
