You will never miss a cashback opportunity ever again with the “easy-to-use and install” Backify browser extension. It has been carefully designed and created to automatically detect when you’re on a website with which we are partnered. It will then send you a prompt to activate your cashback, and the rest is done for you.

What is a Browser Extension?

A browser extension can be part of a stand-alone app or part of an internet browser. For example, a browser extension expands a web browser's functionality by installing specific toolbars, adding buttons, links, or other useful functions, like pop-up blocking.

The Backify browser extension is referred to as a “reminder tool”, which alerts you when you are visiting a store that Backify is partnered with, allowing you to earn cashback that you would have missed otherwise.

Step-by-Step

Step One

The first thing to do is install the extension, and you can start this process in one of two ways. Either head over to our Homepage and scroll down until you reach the section titled “Get Backify in your browser” and click the “Install Now” button.

Step Five

You will now need to log in through the extension icon to connect with your Backify account. Once you have done this, you will be automatically redirected to the Backify website, and you will be ready to begin shopping.

If you ever want to change the settings within the extension, simply click the Backify logo in your web browser. All of the available features can be managed under the ‘Settings’ tab within the extension itself. You are in full control.

All the steps to install the extension are now completed, and if you have popups activated, you will never miss a cashback opportunity ever again.


Using the Browser Extension

The Cashback Popup

When you visit a store that Backify supports, a pop-up will appear in the top right corner of the page to notify you that there is some cashback to be earned! Hit that “Activate” button, and continue shopping as normal.

Google Search Integration

Even if you’re not sure where you want to shop quite yet, or you’re just browsing on Google, Backify has your back. With the Backify extension active you will see that we offer cashback on stores before you even visit them.

Always make sure that you are visiting the store that covers the region you live in. For instance, if you are shopping at Foot Locker and you are located in the UK, the correct store would be footlocker.co.uk rather than footlocker.com.

Now you are truly ready to start earning whilst you shop!
