General Information

What is try before you buy?

With the Try Before You Buy system, you can try out the products you want to buy online before paying for them. That means no more buyer's remorse or guessing whether something will fit right - you can make sure it's just what you wanted before you commit to the purchase. How does it work? It's simple: just add the items you want to try to your cart and checkout like normal. Then, when your package arrives, you've got 7 days to try out the products inside. If you're happy with them, great! The charge goes through and you're all set. If not, just send the items back (within the 7-day window) and you won't be charged a thing. It's that easy.

Stager Program

What is a Stager?

You can think of Stagers as Stage Try’s very own influencers. Stagers make and publish short videos of the products they’ve purchased in Stage Try and they get various benefits for it. Stagers can grow their following so they can climb up levels, where the bonuses they can earn will be bigger. It’s Fashion Vlogging with a lot of benefits.

How can I become a Stager?

Your Shopper profile is the same as your Stager profile. What makes you a Stager is posting short videos, called Styles, showcasing the products you buy. Whenever you get a new item or just want to share your style, record a short video and upload it like you would in similar social media platforms. As your follower number increases, you will rise in the Stager Ranks, which will allow you to participate in more cashback promotions.

What are the benefits of being a Stager?

The main benefit is, of course, the cashback promotions. But you also get cash bonuses for rising in the Stager Levels. You can also team up with stores and create a network.

How can I rank up as a Stager?

By sharing your Styles and gaining followers. The number of followers and shared Styles you need for each Stager rank is on the “Status Report” section of your profile. You can also see how close you are to the next rank by clicking or tapping each rank.

Payment and Cashout

Does Stage Try open an authorization or freeze the amount on my credit card?

No. Stage Try’s $0 checkout is a $0 checkout with no hidden fees of any kind. We will check with your bank you have enough balance to pay for the whole order, but we won’t freeze the balance or open an authorization.

When will I be charged for my Try Before You Buy order?

You will be charged for your items after the store receives the ones you have returned, or after the 7-day trial runs out if you haven’t taken action with your order.

What kind of payment methods are accepted by Stage Try?

Right now, Stage Try only takes credit cards as payment methods.

Why was I charged for an Item I returned?

If the item is damaged when it arrives back at the store, they will indicate that and charge you for the item. Pack your return package carefully, if the products get damaged on the way back to the store, you will be charged for them.
