Get the latest from Wish Local.

It’s tough to know when the right time to reopen your store might be. Depending on where you are in the world, the COVID-19 pandemic may be subsiding or it might be back on the rise. Luckily, Wish Local is providing our participants with an option that allows you to earn cash, sell your own products, and protect your store and employees from contagion. 

With Wish Local Delivery, you earn money by delivering Wish packages to shoppers in your area. If you opt in to both Wish Local Delivery and our Sell on Wish program, you can upload your store’s own merchandise to the Wish app for free. You then get paid to deliver your goods to customers. You read that right! You keep 100% of the sales you make and get paid to deliver too! 

Here’s how it works:

• Offer your items for delivery. You can deliver your own items by listing them on Sell On Wish. You keep 100% of your inventory sales and get paid to deliver it! 
• Deliver with ease. To complete the delivery process, simply upload a photo of the spot where you’ve delivered the package. Then you’re done!
• Flexible delivery schedule. Choose anytime within the two-day delivery window to complete your deliveries. 
• Set your own hours. You can opt-out anytime in the app. When you’re ready to restart your foot traffic you can fully reopen for pickups in the Wish Local App.

Opt-in by opening up your Wish Local app and following the instructions on the screen.

Wish Local is proud to offer Curbside Pickup to all participating store locations. As the pandemic continues, shoppers are looking for the safest ways to pick up their purchases from retail stores. Curbside Pickup is a great way to offer low-contact purchase retrieval to your loyal customers. It also limits traffic inside your business, which protects both you and your store. Here’s how it works.

Enable Curbside Pickup

1. Click “Account” on the bottom menu bar of the Wish Local app.
2. Choose “Curbside Pickup.”
3. Toggle button to the on position.
4. Confirm your phone number, and you’re done!

Wait for customer contact

After a customer purchases one of your store’s products through Sell on Wish, they will be given a QR code and your contact information. When the customer arrives at your store, they will either call or text that they’ve arrived.

Deliver the order

Once the customer has arrived, you can scan their QR code, retrieve their package, and deliver it curbside. 

That’s all there is to it! Curbside Pickup keeps your sales high and your exposure to germs low. What’s not to love?

We are excited to announce that Wish Local Delivery is now live! This new program is the ultimate business companion to Sell on Wish. Get your products in the hands of more shoppers than ever before, and earn $4 for every delivery you make. Here’s how it works.

Sell a product!

As a Wish Local participating location, you can upload your store’s inventory with Sell on Wish. Previously, when you made a sale, the customer would retrieve their purchase from your store. Now you have the opportunity to deliver the item for a cash bonus. For a limited time, you keep 100% of the Sell on Wish sale in addition to the delivery bonus from Wish!

Wish merchandise will also be a part of the Wish Local Delivery program. Ship to Store orders that were canceled and then resold, as well as Pickup Now inventory are eligible for delivery.

Label the package

When you opt in to Wish Local Delivery, you’ll receive a delivery label template. Print out the label and attach it to the package prior to delivery. Once labeled, you can then contact the recipient and let them know when to expect delivery. Contacting the recipient is not a requirement, but it’s a nice and helpful thing to do!

Deliver the package

When you sign up, you can choose the delivery radius you’re willing to serve. A package is considered delivered when it is left at a secure location. Snap a picture of the package with the label visible at the delivery location and upload it into the Wish Local app for proof of delivery. Deliver the package within the 48-hour window, and you’re done!

Collect your bonus!

Every successful delivery earns you a $4 cash bonus. You’ll be paid out every two weeks with your Wish Local payments. It’s that easy!

As a Wish Local partner, you have the advantage of being in the right place at the right time. Sometimes a shopper can’t wait for a product to ship, and when that happens, you’ll want your store’s merchandise to be at the front and center of their feed. With Sell on Wish, you can now upload perishable, consumable and seasonal items for immediate sale and pickup. The best part? For a limited time, Sell on Wish is completely free to use! Read on to learn three unique types of products you can now sell on Wish. 

Consumer packaged goods

Consumer packaged goods (CPG) are products that shoppers frequently buy and replace like toiletries, cleaning supplies, and pet food. Often, when a customer needs a CPG, it’s unlikely they have time to wait for it to ship through the mail. Who wants to wait for a new toothbrush? When you upload your store’s CPGs to Wish, you remind shoppers in your area of those little household items they need to pick up on the way home. 

Food and beverage

Selling ready-to-eat food on Wish may sound crazy; but it’s a real offering, and it works! When shoppers browse the Local Pickup section of their Wish app, they’ll catch a glimpse of your shop’s famous three cheese pizza or your perfect cup of coffee. If you catch that person on an empty stomach, they’ll be tempted to head over to grab that slice. That shopper may not have known your business was nearby! 

How does it work? When a customer purchases hot or made-to-order food or drink, they’ll present proof of purchase when they arrive at your store. You can then prepare their order, giving them time to browse the rest of your offerings. This will ensure food stays hot and fresh, and may also increase sales when the customer sees something else they want to buy. Using Sell on Wish to promote your food and beverage business is an innovative way to spread brand awareness to new customers in your area.

Holiday and gift items

When gift-giving holidays come around, many shoppers wait until the very last minute. Sell on Wish saw major success around Valentine’s Day, with Wish Local partners uploading flowers, candy, and toys. Even when it’s not a holiday, every day is someone’s birthday or anniversary! Use Sell on Wish to upload your store’s unique gifts to capture more last-minute shoppers in your area.

The possibilities are endless! Use Sell on Wish to bring in foot traffic and get your products in the hands of more people. Want to learn more about how Wish Local’s programs can help you scale your small retail business? Learn more here.
