Shanghai’s Putuo District Government (普陀区人民政府) published new retail voucher rules on 15 October 2026. The programme uses the UnionPay app and limits redemption to participating physical stores in the district.
| Item | Notice details |
|---|---|
| Issuing source | Putuo District Government; the notice cites the district commerce commission. |
| Publication date | 15 October 2026. |
| Programme period | 16–31 October 2026. |
| Scope | Eligible purchases at participating offline stores in Putuo District, Shanghai. |
Three discount tiers have separate spending thresholds
The official notice sets out three Friday releases of “Le Gou Putuo” (乐购普陀) vouchers, starting on 16 October. Each consumer may claim only one voucher per week, across all three tiers.
| Minimum spend | Discount |
|---|---|
| RMB 5,000 | RMB 1,000 |
| RMB 1,000 | RMB 300 |
| RMB 500 | RMB 150 |
Vouchers can be combined with a store’s own offline promotions, subject to its on-site rules. Each order can use only one voucher. Vouchers cannot be exchanged for cash.
The final round expires on 31 October
The first two rounds are valid for seven calendar days from collection. The final round has a shorter deadline: all vouchers from that release expire on 31 October.
| Release date | Validity |
|---|---|
| 16 October | Seven calendar days from collection. |
| 23 October | Seven calendar days from collection. |
| 30 October | Until 31 October. |
Claiming and redemption require location access in Shanghai
Users must download the UnionPay app (云闪付), complete identity verification and link a mainland Chinese bank card. Phone location access must show Shanghai when collecting and redeeming a voucher.
The notice directs users to the app’s government consumption-promotion section, then “Le Gou Putuo”. Searching the programme’s Chinese name also opens its page.
Only participating offline stores within Putuo District can accept the vouchers. Eligible categories include clothing, footwear, cosmetics, gold and jewellery, and specified digital or smart products outside the national trade-in subsidy scope.
The notice specifically includes phones priced at RMB 6,000 or more. Participating merchants may change, and some products are excluded under store notices. Prepaid top-ups, stored-value cards, vouchers and gift-card purchases are excluded.
Full and partial refunds follow different rules
After a full refund or cancellation, the paid amount returns to the original card. An unexpired voucher returns that day with its original expiry date; an expired voucher does not return.
A partial refund that does not reach the full order amount returns the paid amount proportionately. The voucher is not returned.
