Why use Croissant's browser extensions?

The best way to add items to your Croissant Collection and receive the maximum Buyback amounts is by downloading Croissant's browser extensions. By using the extensions, items will be automatically added to your Collection as you shop. You will also be able to view Buyback values before making a purchase.

Our extensions are available on Chrome for desktop and Safari for iOS. Below, you'll find full instructions on how to install and configure them.

For the mobile Safari extension:


Getting Started:

  1. Ensure you have the Croissant app installed on your mobile iOS device. You must have the Croissant app and an account to enable the mobile Safari extension. Currently, the mobile extension is only supported on mobile iOS devices.

  2. Ensure that Safari is your Default Browser App in your Settings > Apps > Safari.

Enabling Permissions:














  1. Open the Safari app, then tap the List Icon in the Address Bar.

  2. Click 'Manage Extensions' from the popup window, then toggle on Croissant. The toggle should be green.
























  3. A permissions review popup should appear. If you do not see the permissions popup, click the list icon in the Safari address bar again, then tap 'Manage Extensions.' You should notice an exclamation mark by the Croissant icon, signaling you need to review permissions.

  4. Next, click 'Always Allow' on the popup window. This ensures you’ll be able to see Buybacks across all supported sites moving forward.

  5. Finally, click 'Always Allow on Every Website.'

    












Note: In order to provide Buybacks, we collect basic item information: price, brand, item name, color, and merchant. Croissant’s browser extensions only collect data for sites on our list of supported merchants, and therefore we do not collect shopping or browsing data from sites that are not our supported merchants. We never store data besides item information to offer you guaranteed resale.

For the desktop Chrome Extension:

  1. Install the extension from the Chrome web store.

  2. Create or log into your Croissant account to start shopping with the Croissant Chrome extension.

  3. When visiting the website of a Croissant-supported brand, look for a popup window prompting you to “Activate Buybacks.” Ensure activation before checkout to add all eligible items to your Collection.
