Windows 8 keyboard shortcut. How to close the on-screen keyboard
Today we will talk about this way to save money when shopping at Aliexpress how - Cashback (CASHBACK). This method is not new and there are a lot of services offering to return part of the money from the cost of your purchase in various online stores, including Aliexpress. Agree, it’s nice to get an additional discount just like that.
Therefore, in this article I will tell you about how to get the most profitable cashback on Aliexpress(up to 90% of the purchase price). We will figure out how to buy with cashback on Aliexpress (and in other stores) through the personal account of your service, using plugins and extensions for the browser, as well as from a smartphone, using special mobile applications.
Well, at the end of the article, you will learn how you can also make money from this.
In general, make yourself comfortable, let's begin.
What is cashback? Why is it profitable for stores and services to pay you?
Cashback- literally translated as "Refund". Its essence is that the affiliate program pays you part of the money that you spent in a particular store, in our case on Aliexpress. Along with coupons, discounts and other promotions, this should encourage you to shop. And the opportunity to save on buying something you like is the best way to do this.
Naturally, the affiliate program also earns part of your money. But there's nothing you can do about it. Often people look for some kind of catch in this, but there is none. The service attracts you to the store, you make a purchase. The store pays the service a percentage of sales, which in turn shares with you. Everything is extremely simple, no gray schemes.
In addition, in addition to saving money, you can also earn extra money from your friends and acquaintances by recommending one or more services to them, which is what I do (as if you hadn’t guessed =))
For those who often buy on Aliexpress, as well as for entrepreneurs who resell goods from China, the opportunity to save from 1.6% to 5% of the purchase price is simply a great gift. So don't hesitate to use it. For those who buy themselves a new phone case or some kind of keychain once every six months, you don’t even have to worry, unless of course the amount of 50-60 rubles is not significant for you.
Top 3 best cashback services for Aliexpress
In this article, we will consider the process of shopping with cashback. And for those who are too lazy to search and understand, I’ll leave my top 3 best services:
EPN Cashback
Megabonus (Alibonus)
LetyShops
To ensure that your impression of these sites does not spoil, I advise you to carefully read the rules and conditions of working on them. For example, the maximum cashback of 90% offered by EPN is not given for all products, but only for those that are included in the “ Special offer».
To obtain maximum bet 8.25% in the Megabonus service, you will have to achieve the title of “Master of Coin”, and this is no less than $2584 in saved money.
And to get Better conditions work in the Letyshops service, you will need to achieve LetyGold status - save 10,000 rubles. Or activate a premium account for 150 rubles per month.
And even despite all these conditions, these three services remain the most suitable for working with Aliexpress.
It may also describe situations in which your purchase will not be credited and your money will not be returned. Yes, this is possible. We'll talk about how to avoid this below.
And second - Return percentage. Here you can find out what the cashback will be for purchasing a particular product. For example, on all sites, the percentage of returns for the purchase of smartphones and non-affiliate goods is two times lower than usual. So be careful.
And finally, here you will find various bonuses, promotions and user reviews about this store and purchases in it.
After following the link, you will be taken to the Aliexpress website. All you have to do is choose required product and make a purchase. Moreover, This must be done within one browser session. If for any reason you do not buy the product immediately after clicking on the affiliate link, you will have to start all over again. Otherwise you will not receive the money.

How to buy with cashback through browser plugins?
Especially for the convenience of users, special plugins are created for the most popular browsers. There are plugins for such popular browsers as:
- Opera
- Mozilla FireFox
- Coole Chrome (also suitable for Yandex.Browser)
- SAFARI
- Old Internet Explorer
I think that people who are still using IE are not shopping online.
The installed EPN plugin looks like this:
Let's figure out how to buy with cashback using browser plugins.
Naturally, first you need to install it. Find the link to the plugin in your service and install it. When you first launch the plugin, you will be asked to log in. Enter your details account and log in. After logging in and going to the product page, you will also have to activate cashback, but in the plugin.
The obvious advantages of plugins include:
- A reminder that you did not activate cashback before purchasing.
- Opportunity to get everything necessary information through the plugin, directly on the product page.
- Additional features like product price dynamics or tracking track numbers directly in the plugin.
In general, if you make purchases from your computer, then using plugins like these will be the best option.
Purchase with cashback through the EPN plugin
Let's take a look at the browser extension from EPN Cashback. Once installed, an icon should appear in the top right corner of your browser.
That's it, all you have to do is press the button “Continue (proceed to purchase)” and place an order on Aliexpress. The money should be transferred to your balance in the EPN. Don't forget to check if your purchase counted.

How to buy through the Letishops app
Review and instructions
Of course, such a giant as Letishops also has mobile app for users. Moreover, it is made, in my opinion, better than that of EPN. This applies to both appearance, and functionality.
On the page of each store you will find the conditions for working with it (yes, experienced users, in principle, do not need it, but it will be useful for beginners). And all stores are divided into categories, which makes searching and choosing them a little easier.
Otherwise, everything is standard, there is a section with promotional codes, on the main page there is information about ongoing promotions, you can view the statistics of your orders and withdraw money.
Mobile application from Magabonus
And finally, a mobile application from the Megabonus website. To the above-described functions in applications from EPN and Letishops, you can add here the ability to track your purchase, as they say, without leaving the checkout.
We buy on Aliexpress with cashback up to 90%. Hot products section.
Yes, yes, you didn’t think so, recently you can return up to 90% of their cost for purchases on Aliexpress. This opportunity has appeared for users of the EPN service.
A little higher, I already mentioned the “Special Offer” section from EPN, which contains products with increased rates. Once upon a time, the maximum return percentage in this section was 18%, then it was reduced to 15%, and now it has been increased to 90%.
Naturally, there are not many goods here, and most of them are all sorts of small things and inexpensive trinkets: rings, bracelets, protective films etc.
Just below you can find products with cashback of 85%, 80%, 70% and below. And the lower the return rate, the more valuable goods you can find.
The list of goods available in the “Special Offer” section is formed by voting by users (you must order at least one payment in the EPN to gain the right to vote).
There are no restrictions on the number of units of goods that can be purchased for this promotion, which is good news.
In general, I advise you to periodically look into this EPN Cashback section; sometimes good products with great discounts pop up there.
There are similar sections in other services, for example Letishops or Cash4Brands. They are usually called Hot Products. Links to below:
How to withdraw cashback?
How quickly can I withdraw money?
You can withdraw the money received immediately after receiving the goods and corresponding confirmation on Aliexpress. On the same day you can withdraw cashback.
Let me remind you that:
- the minimum amount for withdrawal is 0.2 $, i.e. 20 cents for all wallets and phone numbers.
- Minimum withdrawal amount in rubles bank cards— 9 dollars
- On USD cards - 100 dollars
Where can I withdraw money?
Withdrawals are made to:
- Yandex money
- Qiwi wallet
- WebMoney
- To ePayments Prepaid MasterCard
- And to telephone numbers Megafon, MTS and Beeline
Why is cashback not credited from EPN?
The service itself cites blocked cookies in your browser as the main reason for not charging money. Before purchasing, please check if you have cookies enabled.
Check your antivirus settings to block cookies. In addition, various plugins for blocking ads such as AdBlock can also affect the accrual of money. We recommend turning them off before purchasing.
Further. If you have previously used other cashback services and their plugins, you should uninstall them before using EPN Cashback. Since such plugins can intercept and replace cookies with their own. Accordingly, the money will not be credited to you. Here is the official list of recommended plugins delete:
- AliExpress Seller Check
- AliTools
- Search for products by image on AliExpress
- Frigate CDN
- MusicSig VKontakte
- AliBonus
- AliTrust
In principle, they don’t need to be deleted. You just need to use another browser that doesn’t have any unnecessary extensions or plugins.
Cashback is not paid for products from Russian sellers from the Tmall section with delivery only from Russia.
Pay for your order within one browser session. What does it mean? After clicking on the link generated on the EPN website or through their plugin, you need to immediately place an order and pay for it. If you added an item to your cart without paying for it. Then before paying you need to follow the link or plugin again, otherwise the interest will not be returned to you. In short, it’s easier to place an order and pay for it immediately after leaving the service, just to be sure.
In other cases, accrual occurs without problems.
How to make money on cashback services?
In addition to the fact that services like EPN or Letyshops allow you to save a lot on your purchases, you can also earn a little money with them.
To do this, almost all such sites have referral and partnership programs. Their essence is quite simple:
You attract new clients to the service and receive a reward for this, either in the form of a percentage of the cashback of your referrals, or in the form of a fixed amount of money.
To attract users you will need affiliate link, which you can get in your personal account and a little imagination in order to motivate a person to register and start buying.
The skin above shows my payouts for a couple last months. Not mountains of gold, of course, but it is absolutely passive income.

The fact is that there are cases when there is no keyboard on the computer, but you still need to type some text. Of course, doing this with a mouse on the screen is less convenient than on a full keyboard, but still in certain situations we have no choice.
The Windows 8 virtual keyboard has the same capabilities as the regular keyboard. That is, you can switch the layout on it, use everything standard features and so on. It can only be used with the mouse.
It is worth noting that this tool was also present in previous versions OS, however, in the G8 approached this issue more carefully. The fact is that Windows 8 was developed not only for computers, but also for tablets, smartphones, and so on. And if on a PC such functions are used very rarely, then on mobile devices they will work constantly.
The on-screen keyboard for Windows 8 was developed by an entire department. The main goal of the developers was to bring the tool to perfection and make it as convenient and functional as possible. Of course, on mobile devices such tools open automatically in the right moments. But how to open it on a computer with Windows 8?

Keyboard does not work in Windows 8: Video
An on-screen keyboard is an indispensable thing for tablets, smartphones and other gadgets. It is also useful in case of any problems with a regular external keyboard.
In general, you don’t have to connect an external keyboard to enter text, but use the on-screen one. This is a matter of habit, taste, opportunity.
The keyboard is called an on-screen keyboard because it appears on the screen with all the standard keys. To use the on-screen keyboard, touch screen not needed.
Please note that when logging into Internet banking and other important services For security reasons, you must enter your password using the on-screen keyboard.
