Hello everyone!

More in Q&A.

What are we doing? 

Letyshops is a shopping community. We have saved our users $100M, intending to put Ukraine on the tech map of the world. Now, we're aiming to save users $100M weekly with a new, revolutionary product set to transform shopping worldwide.

How do we do? 

Instead of spending on advertising, stores pay us money to bring in new customers. If a customer buys from one of these stores, we give them a portion of the money back. This is cashback! In this way, the store gets customers, we get our commission, and the client gets the opportunity to get some of his money back for online purchases.
