If you’re running a reselling business, you already know that every dollar counts. Margins can be razor-thin, and finding ways to stretch your budget is the key to staying profitable.
I’ve already shared how to maximize savings using Wish’s Daily Login Bonus, but today, I want to let you in on another trick I use to save an additional 5% — the Rakuten Chrome extension.
What is Rakuten?
If you haven’t heard of Rakuten, you’re missing out on free savings. Here’s a simple breakdown of how it works:
Retailers pay Rakuten a commission for referring customers to their sites. Instead of keeping it all, Rakuten shares a portion of that commission with you in the form of cashback. It’s basically free money for shopping like you normally would.
How to Start Saving with Rakuten
- Sign up for Rakuten – It’s free, and the process only takes a minute.
- Install the Rakuten Chrome extension – This is key! The extension will remind you to activate cashback every time you shop.
- Check out as usual – Just make sure Rakuten is activated before you complete your purchase on Wish.
- Get paid – Cashback accumulates in your Rakuten account and is paid out once you reach the minimum threshold.
Why This Matters for Resellers
When you’re buying inventory in bulk, an extra 5% off can add up quickly. Over time, this simple step could mean hundreds—if not thousands—of dollars in extra savings. Even though you won’t see the discount applied immediately, it functions just like credit card rewards, adding up over time and putting extra money back in your pocket.
If you’re serious about maximizing your profit margins, there’s no reason not to use Rakuten. It’s effortless, free, and genuinely makes a difference.
