Frequently asked questions

What is Mallish?

Mallish is a free shopping app that brings your favorite stores together in one place. Instead of opening five different shopping websites, you check Mallish first — search across your favorite stores, discover new ones, and keep everything you're shopping for organized. Mallish doesn't sell products itself; it's the shopping layer across retailers.

Is Mallish really free?

Yes. Mallish is completely free — no subscription, no hidden fees, and no paywalls. Every feature, from searching and saving stores to Ideas, Collections and Item Vote, is free for everyone.

Do I need an account to start shopping?

No account is required to start. You can browse stores, search, use Ideas, and shop as a guest right away. An account is only suggested when you want to save something personal — like your favorite stores or preferences — so it follows you across devices.

How does search work?

Type what you're looking for — 'black dress', 'wireless headphones', 'coffee maker', 'running shoes' — and Mallish shows store cards for retailers that actually carry that kind of product. Tapping a store takes you straight to that store, where you can see the product itself.

Which stores are on Mallish?

Hundreds of stores across every shopping category — fashion, electronics, home, beauty, kids & baby, sports & outdoors, grocery, pets, gifts, and more. Big names like Amazon, Target, Best Buy, Nike, Sephora, IKEA and Walmart are all there, alongside hundreds of specialty retailers.

What is my Shopping Center?

Your Shopping Center is your personal home in Mallish. It brings together your favorite stores from every category, lets you sort them your way (A–Z, most visited, or your own custom order), and puts search right at the top.

How do I add or remove a favorite store?

Browse or search for any store and tap the heart on its card to save it to your Shopping Center. To remove one, tap the heart again on the store card in your Shopping Center.

What are Ideas?

Ideas is your shopping inspiration space. Save anything you might want later — living room ideas, birthday gifts, dorm essentials, camping gear, outfit inspiration — with photos, notes and optional reminders. Ideas are organized into collections so everything stays tidy.

What is Item Vote?

Item Vote lets you put items side by side and let friends vote on which one to pick. You can create a vote from your ideas — it's a fun way to decide between options with the people you shop with.

Can I personalize how Mallish looks?

Yes. On the Customize page you can pick a Design style — Classic, Sleek, Minimal, Glass, Bold, Soft, Luxury or Futuristic — plus an accent color and a wallpaper. Your choices follow you across every page of the app.

What are shopping preferences?

In About Me you can tell Mallish what you like to shop for, category by category — brands, styles, sizes, and more. It's completely optional and skippable, and it helps make search results and recommendations more relevant to you.

Can I use Mallish on my phone?

Yes. Mallish works in any mobile browser, and you can add it to your home screen for an app-like experience. From your browser menu, choose 'Add to Home Screen'.

When I shop through Mallish, do I buy from Mallish?

No. When you tap a store, you go directly to that retailer's own website and shop there as usual. Mallish simply helps you discover stores and find what you're looking for faster.

How do I get a store added to Mallish?

In your Shopping Center, tap 'Add a store' and suggest it — or email us at hello@mallish.shop. We're always expanding the store list.
