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.

It would be great if estore items could be sent via kinzpost
Because of the new wshop, I can no longer give Webkinz as gifts. I have a pile of them ready for last minute kids parties but I will not do this to a parent. It would be the same as taking their child to toysrus and telling them but you can’t have 90% of the things in here. A parent will spent the whole time saying No you cant have that, no not that, no not that either, no, no, no. And the kid will be more disappointed than its worth just to play webkinz games. Giving animals as gifts now is the same as handing a solicitor their kids email address. Parents would be very upset with such a sales pitch disguised as a birthday gift. Sigh, wish I hadn’t stocked up 2 weeks ago:(
I absolutely agree, haddy. I don’t like the mixing of estore and kinzcash items, and I think the intent is very obvious. One suggestion for the gifting of your stockpiled Webkinz pets would be to take off the code packets. That way the pets could still be enjoyed and loved as stuffed animals.
I tried to play today but nothing was working including the w shop. I tried to log out and log in but once I got to the w shop and curio shop, the screen loaded and reloaded again and again
:-( I liked the old one better. I wish the estore stuff was separated from the regular items.
i don’t have the latest adobe because my parent blocked the downloads with parental controls and forgot the password…. so when I click certain buttons like WSHOP the loading sigh freezes and it makes me have to log out. then it takes like 6 tries of logging in, before it wont freeze… HELP!!!!!!!!!
I NEVER CAN GET IN :( :( :( :( :( :P
I dislike the new W-Shop its slow and everything is mixed with the E-Store. You cant find anything and it locks up your computer ( and I have a fast one ) I am very disappointed in Webkinz for messing up this bad on something this big. They need to separate the two very different stores: the E-Store and the W-Shop! It is going to confuse little kids and grown-ups. The themes are not separated which is also super confusing. I also Loved the shopping cart it would help me decide on the items I wanted. Please change it back it or let each person decide for themselves if they want to use the old or the new. I have been a member since 2007 and stopped playing in 2010 and just recently came back i have enjoyed playing everyday for the past 6 or 7 weeks but if its going to be like this then its not worth my time!
Any trouble getting 2 the w-shop? refresh and restart yo computer!
BTW where’s the wallpaper and flooring at I can’t find it?! lol
Never mind its working now and I LUV IT!!! oh and I spent my 2000 estore points on the J. Russell best buds shirt! :D
I cant open the w shop its loading and reloading again and agian
