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.

wow! i am used to the other wshop more, although i admit it’s easier and modern! I also wish they had estore points separated from regular, but it’s overall really cool!!!
Like the new set up idea, BUT DO NOT LIKE WShop and Estore items together … way too confusing! It actually makes it much harder to find what you’re looking for. Also, what happened to the POTM items and Superbeds? It’s nice to look at those items and see how many you’ve collected. Also, thanks for the 2,000 estore points, but it seems like that was just a big gimmick to get people to buy more ’cause there’s pretty much nothing worthwhile you can get for that many points. Nice try, but a definite miss in my books!!!
my dock never showes up and nothing in the store showes up ^:(^
log out, and login again. it helps for me(:
It really DOES NOT make buying things easier. The New Wshop is now loaded with estore items so you’re actually need to spend more time looking for what use to be the “Wshop” items.
definitely still can’t get on to see the shop. Tried clearing my cache along with the rest of my browser history, but it won’t load :/
ATTENTION EVERYONE! If you can’t get the W-Shop to work, clear your cache! If it still doesn’t work, sorry, it’s your computer.
:D :D :D OH MY GOSH!!! THIS IS SOOOO AWESOME!!!! Know what’s funny? Yesterday I was talking to my parents about how I wanted eStore points…NOW I GET SOME!!! FOR FREE!!! I AM FLIPPING OUT!!!!!!!! I love you Ganz, forever and always :) :D
Anybody else have a problem with this where the new W-Shop loads forever? It’s really odd. I’d think it has to do with either the servers being separate for EVERYTHING in Webkinz world, and the W-Shop being down, my connection, or maybe it’s just a .swf file isn’t loading for me.
I really don’t like the new layout. It seems far more jumbled to me so far than the old one. I especially don’t like having the e-store points items mixed in with the Kinzcash items. I got all excited over seeing new things and then realized that I will never be able to get them. I have the same issue with the deluxe items being mixed in with the Kinzcash ones. I can’t get e-store point or go deluxe. The only e-store items I have are from the extremely rare times when a relative got them for me and that will not be happening in the future. I rarely bother looking at the clothing outlet anymore because the majority of the new clothing is deluxe only. Sorry for the rant, but as someone who can only buy pets in store and can’t participate in the online purchase side of things, these details are becoming more and more frustrating. It takes a lot of the fun out of new items being announced.
I am in the same situation that you are, and totally agree with you.
You couldn’t have said it better, RillCrystalwing. You summed up the frustration of a lot of people. I think the new design was very carefully thought out by Ganz.
I do not like this new look,It’s confusing and I really did not want the points.There is nothing I want that I can buy
same here
I love it! It looks so easy to get around! :D
Ehh. It’s okay. But I would’ve been completely fine if it stayed the other way. Oh well.
