Frequently Asked Questions:

Visit Our Mall builds dynamic FREE online shopping malls for both fundraising groups and individuals to use. You get cash back from the hundreds of merchants we place in each and every mall we build.

Basically how do we make money?
Visit Our Mall contracts with more than 500 merchants that have agreed to pay commissions on sales made in their stores if shoppers enter through a Visit Our Mall shopping center. In just minutes we will build a mall for you. It will contain all of the stores we have relationships with. Each pays a commission ranging from 1% to 20%.

How much does it cost to have a mall?
There is no cost whatsoever to own an online mall. Visit Our Mall will build it and maintain it for you free of charge. Period!

How long does it take get a mall?
The sign up process to build your mall actually takes less than one minute. When you hit submit your mall is created immediately. You will receive a confirmation email within minutes and your mall is ready to be shopped in.

Do I need to shop in my mall to get credit?
Yes, you will only get credit for purchases made in your mall. Shoppers are actually taken from your mall directly to the merchant’s store. However the transaction is coded based on how you get to the store. So the only way to get credit is by shopping through the mall you are associated with.

What if someone buys something and then returns it?
Commission checks are paid 30 days after the close of a month and should allow for returns. But the bottom line is that returns are treated the same as purchases and will be deducted from future commission checks.

Do people identify themselves when they shop?
No. Unlike other online shopping malls you do not have to sign in to a Visit Our Mall center. Our software keeps track of how people get to the store of their choice but not who they are. That way the creator of the mall gets credit for the sale but shoppers do not have to sign in on our site.

How do people find my mall?
Great question! People find your mall because you tell them about your mall. We give you great FREE promotional tools to use for that. The more you take advantage of those tools the better your results will be.

Specifically, though, the best tool we offer is an Invitation process you will find at the top of every page in your mall. It allows you to send email invitations to up to 10 people at a time. Those people receive an email telling them about your mall and asking them to visit. Then, about 6 times a year, we send out reminders about your mall during peak shopping seasons like Valentines Day, Mother’s Day, Back to School and Christmas. Those emails tell them about the best stores in your mall for that season along with some of the best deals offered.

How often do we receive commission checks?
We send out payments at the first of every month. The minimum amount of accrued commissions is $25. If you have accrued less than that we keep it on account for you until you reach $25. We hold commissions for 30 days after the last day of the month in which the sale is made to take into consideration time for returns. In other words, if your mall accrues commissions of more than $25 for purchases made in January, we will mail your commission check on the March 1.
