Getting started

First things first - create an account so you can checkout with ease. Register and set up your address and billing information for faster and smoother checkout.

Here’s how you can create an account in two simple steps:

1. In the blue bar at the very top of your screen, click My Account. If you already have an account you can enter your login details here to sign in.
2. To create a new account, just enter your email address in the Register box and click the Register button. You'll find your password in your email address.

Once you register, the Goodwill online thrift store system will automatically log you in. Now, you’ll see your account dashboard where you can review your orders, add and edit your billing and shipping information, payment methods, and account details, including your name and display name. You can also change your password here, under Account details.

Fill out all of your information and save it to start shopping!

*Make sure to update your password to replace the randomly generated one created during registration.

If, at any time, you would like to access or change your information, navigate to the top blue bar, hover over My Account, and make a selection from the dropdown.

Now that your information has been added and saved, let’s start shopping - hover over the Shop tab at the top of your screen and select Goodwill’s Online Thrift Store from the dropdown.

2 ways to pay

You can pay for your order using a credit card or via e-Transfer. If you’re paying by e-Transfer, it’s important to note that you must complete payment within 24 hours or your item(s) will be forfeited.

E-Transfer details are provided at checkout.

Getting your goods

You can pick up your items at the local pickup location(s) listed on your checkout page. The item(s) will be ready for pickup on the date and time you scheduled at checkout.

Why pick up only?

At the moment, the Goodwill online thrift store offers items for pickup only.

Shipping may be available in the future however, the logistics for shipping are currently too difficult with all the stores and the limited number of items.

Stay tuned for changes and updates to this policy!

You're ready to start shopping now that you’ve seen the ins and outs of our new online store!

Shop with Goodwill and skip the tax all while helping to create positive change in your community. It doesn’t get much better than that!
