Savings · Money back on purchases you'd make anywayCashback

Shoop
honestly rated.

A cashback portal covering roughly 2,000 shops that passes back part of the retailer commission: savings on purchases you were going to make anyway, not pay for your time and not sale proceeds; credits take weeks and some orders may go unrecorded.

At a glance

Fits you if you shop online anyway and can wait a few weeks for the money.

Watch out for: If tracking fails you get nothing, and cashback only becomes available after 60 to 90 days.

Payout
Bank transfer (SEPA) · PayPal · Voucher
Threshold
First SEPA payout from 1 EUR (terms, retrieved 2026-10-15). Source conflict: until early February 2025 a 10 EUR minimum applied (forum post on mydealz); older test reports sometimes still cite it.
Timing
Payout within up to 5 working days of your request (terms). Before that, according to the provider, cashback only becomes available after 60 to 90 days (provider's explainer page).
ID check

EchtVerdient rating

What public experiences say about Shoop.

A solid way to save on purchases you already planned; if you do not buy, you earn nothing here.

Overall4 of 5 categories · 6 sources · as of 16 Oct 2026
  1. Payouts

    Does the money arrive reliably and on time?

    Moderate evidence

    Cashing out is easy (from 1 EUR, up to 5 working days), but the money only becomes available after weeks and some orders are not credited. Reviews and tests lean positive overall.

  2. Time value

    What's left per hour once screen-outs, searching and waiting count?

    Not enough data

    Not applicable: this is savings on planned purchases, not paid time. The effort is one click through the portal before buying.

  3. Task supply

    Is there regularly something to do in Germany?

    Thin evidence

    The shop selection is broad (the provider cites about 2,000 retailers and the comparison test confirms a large range), but rates vary by retailer and over time.

  4. Getting started

    How high are the hurdles to get going?

    Moderate evidence

    Free sign-up from 18, SMS verification, no ID check mentioned in the terms; a browser or phone is enough.

  5. Fairness & support

    How fair are bans, rejections and support?

    Moderate evidence

    Generally good marks (Trustpilot 4.0, top in a 2020 consumer test and in the comparison test). Note the exclusion when tracking is disrupted, the three-year expiry and the subordination clause.

What people often praise

  • Very low barrier to entry
  • Payout from 1 EUR
  • Broad shop selection
  • Good placement in tests and a solid Trustpilot average

What people often criticise

  • 60 to 90 days until money becomes available
  • Cashback can be lost if tracking fails
  • Expires after 3 years
  • Savings only, not earnings
Heads-up
  • Not a side income: you only get cashback when you buy something yourself.
  • If tracking is disrupted (ad blocker, opening the shop directly), nothing is credited.

How the rating is made: we read public reviews, experience reports and tests and summarise them in our own words. We can't verify whether individual reviews on those platforms come from genuine users; the platforms themselves are responsible for that. Commissions have no influence on the rating.

Facts with sources

What the provider and reports actually say.

Every item has a source and a date. Where sources contradict each other, we show the conflict instead of picking the nicer number.

Operator
Atolls Germany GmbH, Radlkoferstr. 2, 81373 Munich, HRB 209997. Source conflict: editorial texts and an affiliate programme listing still name Shoop Germany GmbH, Berlin (older information). ↗

SEPA from 1 EUR; after that SEPA, PayPal or voucher. Takes up to 5 working days. ↗
Earlier minimum
A 10 EUR minimum payout, withdrawn from 2025-02-03 according to a forum post. ↗

Cashback expires 3 years after the end of the year in which it was credited as available. ↗
Exclusions
No cashback on VAT and shipping costs; none if tracking was disrupted. ↗
Subordination clause
Section 7 of the terms contains a subordination clause for balances. Read the wording yourself before you use the service; a legal assessment is not part of this research. ↗
Waiting time and reach (provider claim)
Credit after 60 to 90 days; around 2,200 shops; an average of 260 EUR cashback per member per year (older provider claim, not independently confirmed, date of the claim unclear). ↗
Trustpilot
4.0 out of 5 from 9,952 reviews (snapshot 2026-03-27 from a search index); a comparison site lists 4.0 from 10,203 on 2026-09-04. ↗
Comparison test (editorial)
Shoop 84 out of 100 points, ahead of TopCashback (81) and iGraal (79). Shoop and iGraal belong to the same corporate group (Atolls). ↗

Rank 1 of 13 cashback portals with 75.6 points (a 2020 test, so dated). ↗
Partner links
Shoop forbids placing its shop partner links on blogs or websites to earn cashback yourself (terms 5.6). This concerns users, not listings on a comparison site. ↗
