How Localito Works: The Simple Way to Shop Local and Earn Cashback in Manchester
Localito is Greater Manchester’s independents-only marketplace. It allows people to discover and buy from local independent businesses while earning real cashback on every purchase.
Here’s exactly how it works.
1. Browse Local Businesses and Products
You can search or browse hundreds of independent businesses across Greater Manchester. This includes shops, makers, cafés, florists, vintage stores, and service providers — all based in the region.
Every business on Localito is independently owned. Large chains and corporations are not allowed on the platform.
2. Choose How You Want to Receive Your Order
When you find something you like, you can usually choose between two options:
- Click & Collect (same-day in many cases)
- Delivery (where the business offers it)
This gives you more flexibility than traditional online shopping and often means you can get your items faster than waiting for a big delivery van.
3. Pay and Earn Cashback
After you complete your order, you automatically earn real cashback on your purchase.
The cashback is added to your Localito account and can be used on future orders with any business on the platform. This is one of the key differences from shopping on Amazon or other big platforms — your money works twice: once when you spend it, and again when you use the cashback.
4. Support Local While Getting Rewarded
Every time you shop on Localito, your money stays in Greater Manchester. It supports local jobs, families, and independent businesses instead of leaving the region.
This is the core purpose of the platform: making it easy and rewarding to shop local.
