Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions about how ShoppeMate helps your neighborhood save? We have answers.
ShoppeMate automatically tracks local grocery store inventories in your area. For every item on your shopping list, our engine calculates the absolute lowest cost-per-unit across competing brands, sizes, and store locations. It then tells you exactly how to split your shopping trip or online pickup orders to save the maximum amount of money.
Whenever you scan an item in your cupboard or verify a grocery price that is missing or outdated in our system, we instantly deposit 1¢ cash back directly into your account wallet. By checking just 99 prices a week, you completely offset your subscription fee—making ShoppeMate 100% free to use.
When you invite friends and neighbors using your personal link, you earn a recurring 5% monthly cash back on their membership fees. Even better, you also earn an additional 2.5% monthly network share cash back for every person they invite down the line! This is a clean, dual-tier affiliate network designed to help families beat food inflation together.
Yes! Your subscription allows you to add household members to your account at zero extra cost. Your spouse, kids, or roommates can co-edit the same live list, link your kitchen Alexa voice devices, and even check prices to earn rewards together.
Never. Because we are completely community-funded by our 99¢ weekly membership fee, we do not answer to Wall Street venture funds or corporate boards. We will never sell your personal information, receipt uploads, or shopping habits to third-party data brokers or advertisers. Your data remains strictly your own.
