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.

Oh, and DEFINITELY keep estore items separate from wshop items…way too confusing and it crowds the shop. Still have estore items at the wshop, just in its own section.
Wish there was still a “sale” section. When we have to buy something for a challenge, it’s nice to just go into the sale section so we can spend the least amount of money.
I will get used to it but I really miss the sale section. It is too hard to find the item that is on sale for the day let alone the ones that are still on sale from past days.
Could you please at least separate Ganz points from Kinzcash? That would help. And if you have been a member since before 2009, leave your thoughts about this new Wshop below. I probably feel similarly. Thank you :)
Having the E-Store stuff all mixed in is a pain, and it’s harder to find thing because you have to look through it all. Also when I sell things it moves me to the next item in the dock, it’s a real pain when you have multiples of the same thing you want to share. I have to keep moving it back.
I HOPE YOU ALL WILL JUST BE PATIENT AND LET THEM GET THIS SORTED OUT..THATS WHY WE COMMENT..BUT YOU ALL STILL TRY AND HAVE FUN OK..SORRY BOUT THE SIGNATURE THING TOO……THATS SAD…HANG IN THERE YOU ALL..!!! AND YOU TO WEBKINZ ….YOU’LL GET IT FIXED……SOON I HOPE!
OK SO I GO IN THE WSHOP AND UNLOAD MY DOCK TO SELL THINGS I DONT NEED AND I GET BOOTED OUT….ITS HAPPENED TO ME ALL DAY……PLEASE FIX THIS OK……….THANKS I REALIZE THIS IS ALL NEW AND YOU WILL HOPEFULLY GET RID OF THE SO MANY GLITCHES IN WW…LIKE IN TRADING ROOM..I CAN GO IN, AND GET BOOTED OUT OR I CANT TYPE, THEN I HAVE TO GO ALL THE WAY OUT, LOG OUT , UNLOAD DOCK AND THEN I FREEZE UP….PLEASE FIX THIS ….THANKS
I’m sure Ganz is thinking that if we see all the stuff we could get if we would buy Estore points then thats what we will do. we will all sign up and go deluxe. Not everyone can do that. For me it has just made it confusing. I like the new look but if they were seperate. I alos liked the shopping cart because it gave you a chance to change your mind before you spent your kinzcash.
My new w-shop has not loaded all day, forcing me to log out. Hopefully this is fixed soon!
Not loving this. It’s too confusing. Please have an Estore Section and a WShop Section. Thanks for the points, though.
