# How it works

When you shop at your favourite stores via oodlz, retailers pay us a commission and we pass that cash back to you. That's how cashback works. What separates [shopping with oodlz](https://app.oodlz.io/) from anyone else is we pay all of the cashback, back to you. See how here.

Cashback is generally approved 14-80 days after you complete your order with the store after finding the store/deal on oodlz. The timeframe is based on the category of the transaction and takes into account things like store returns periods and cancellation windows.
