When shopping on Rootsy, reviewing the product details helps you choose the right item and understand what you're purchasing.
Rootsy connects buyers with independent Canadian sellers who provide product information, images, prices, and available options.
This guide explains how to understand product listings and make informed purchasing decisions.
Step 1: Open a Product Listing
Visit www.rootsy.ca.
Browse the available categories or use the search bar.
Select a product to open its details page.
Review the product information before adding it to your cart.
Step 2: Review the Product Description
Product listings may contain information such as:
Product name: Identifies the item being offered.
Description: Explains the product's features, materials, and intended use.
Specifications: May include dimensions, weight, capacity, materials, or technical details.
Images: Show the product's appearance and features.
Seller information: Identifies the independent seller offering the product.
Price: Displays the selling price in Canadian dollars (CAD).
The information available may differ depending on the product and seller.
If a specification is important to your purchase and isn't provided, contact Rootsy Customer Support before ordering.
Step 3: Understand Product Variations
Some products may be offered in different versions or variations, such as:
Size
Colour
Material
Style
Capacity
Other product-specific options
Where variations are available, review the choices displayed on the product page and select the option you want before adding the item to your cart.
Different variations may have different prices or availability.
Always verify your selected option before completing checkout.
Step 4: Review Product Personalization Options
Certain sellers may offer products that can be customized.
Examples of personalization include:
Adding a name or initials.
Including a short message.
Selecting a custom design.
Providing other product-specific instructions.
If a product offers personalization, follow the fields and instructions displayed on its listing.
Review spelling, formatting, and other submitted details carefully.
Important: Personalized and custom-made products may have different cancellation and return conditions. Always review the applicable policies before purchasing.
Step 5: Check Product Availability
Product availability depends on the seller's inventory and fulfilment arrangements.
Some products may have limited quantities or require additional preparation time.
Adding an item to your shopping cart does not guarantee that it will remain available until payment and order acceptance are completed.
Step 6: Review Shipping and Return Information
Before purchasing, check any available information about:
Shipping charges and delivery estimates.
Product preparation or processing time.
Return eligibility.
Non-returnable or final-sale conditions.
Product warnings or restrictions.
Rootsy's standard return-request window is generally 14 days from delivery, subject to product-specific exceptions, applicable policies, and consumer protection rights.
Some products, including personalized items, may have additional return restrictions.
Step 7: Understand Canadian Seller and Product-Origin Information
Rootsy supports independent Canadian businesses.
However, a product sold by a Canadian business is not necessarily manufactured in Canada.
If Canadian manufacturing or origin is important to you, review the product listing for relevant information.
Do not assume that every product on Rootsy is Canadian-made.
Step 8: Review Product Warnings
Some products may display additional warnings or acknowledgements because of their characteristics or restrictions.
Read any warnings carefully before purchasing.
A warning acknowledgement does not override applicable laws, product eligibility requirements, or shipping restrictions.
