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.

The new W-Shop crashes webkinz :(
I like the shop, but OMG, the dock is a mess when you’re in the shop. It still makes sense outside the shop just as always, but when you’re in the shop, the items in the dock have no rhyme or reason to their order anymore. Makes it a nightmare to sell items. You have to page through everything in a given category to find what you are looking for. NIGHTMARE!!!
I saw that too and assumed it was my computer. Hopefully that fixes soon.
mine keeps crashing :(
Yea, mine to! I thought it was just my computer, though. But maybe not…
I feel you.
Having trouble opening W-shop. Anyone else having problems opening W-shop. It says that is loading , but just flickers on and off.
mine keeps flickering the load bar but the shop won’t come on!!! :(
same
Me, too! Good to know I’m not alone, but it sucks. :(
Yeah. Me too.
Yeah I’ve been having the same problem, only whenever I try to go to the w shop all I can see on the side of the screen is an ad with w shop written on it. I hope ganz can figure out what the problem is that some people are having! :(
It won’t let me acess it or the E-store.
I don’t like the new WShop very much. It’s very hard to tell if an item costs Estore points or kinzcash. The little icons next to the prices are rather small and on first glance could easily make you think it was kinzcash. You should really make a tab for Estore Points and a tab for Kinzcash items, please! The separate stores made things easier. I do like the new ‘no check out counter’ thing, that’s super helpful! -BT
It’s nice, I guess, but can be very glitchy, if you click to fast. You have to be patient with it or it will freeze up and force you to close out. (At least for me anyways)
I’ve tried multiple times to get into the wshop and estore and every time I try to get in, the screen gets stuck on the loading page and keeps blinking and loading again and again and again. I end up logging out because I can’t get anywhere. I don’t even know if I got the 2000 estore points for sure. If I didn’t I will be so disappointed. I was really looking forward to having those points and getting something supper cool. I really hope I didn’t lose out because of this complication, and knowing I was on, on the day I was suppose to, so sad.
Same here – hopefully they’ll fix it!!! :( I’m so excited to see the new shop, but I can’t yet!
You should really put the sale section back in!!! I loved it!!!!!!! Please
It is confusing.
