Frequently Asked Questions

What is Smile Sparker?

Smile Sparker is more than just an online fashion retail store—it's a movement to make fashion guilt-free and meaningful. We believe that style should not only make you look good but also feel good. By providing high-quality products at cost price, we put the power in your hands. The extra amount you choose to pay is channeled into providing food, clothing, and education to children and the less fortunate.

Are the items used?

No, all the items on this website are brand new and never worn.

How does Smile Sparker work?

At Smile Sparker, we partner with some of the most respected fashion brands across the USA, curating the most sought-after, high-quality items—both made in the USA and imported. You'll see the cost price, and you decide what you'd like to pay. Over half of any amount above the cost is donated to charities around the world. Occasionally, we love to share photos and videos from our donation events with our customers.

How do you determine the cost price?

Our excellent relationships with suppliers allow us to source items at an incredibly competitive price. We add a 5% mark-up to cover our website costs before offering these items to you. It's all about transparency and honesty.

What if I pay less than cost price?

Yes, at Smile Sparker, we believe in empowering our customers, and that includes giving you full control over the price you pay.

However, it's important to understand that when a purchase is made below the cost price, we need to cover the deficit from other generous contributions. This could, in turn, impact the amount we're able to donate to charities worldwide.

But, let's remember, our primary mission is to spark smiles around the globe. If you find yourself in dire need of clothing but can't afford to pay the full price, please feel free to pay what you can. We're here to make fashion accessible and meaningful for everyone.

How can I decide what to pay?

Each product page features an "input price" bar. Here, you get to call the shots. You decide what you'd like to pay, and our system will honor that, adding your chosen product to the cart at your price.

Where does the extra money go?

Over half of any amount beyond the cost is directed towards various charities worldwide. We believe in fostering a connection with our customers, occasionally sharing pictures and videos from our donation events.

How does Smile Sparker make money?

At Smile Sparker, we believe in complete transparency. We retain approximately 40% to 50% of the amount paid above the cost of the product. This helps us cover our operational costs, and sustain the business. It's important to understand that we offer our products at cost price, and in many cases, our generous customers choose to pay at, or even below, cost price. In such instances, we utilize the surplus from other sales to balance the costs. Our aim is to make fashion more meaningful while sustaining a viable business model.
