On October 15, the Tianjin Municipal Commerce Bureau website published the "Announcement of the Municipal Commerce Bureau on Launching the 2026 Tianjin Smart Home Product Purchase Subsidy Activity."
In order to further unlock the consumption potential of smart homes and improve the implementation quality and effectiveness of the city's consumer goods trade-in policy, the Municipal Commerce Bureau has decided to launch the 2026 Tianjin Smart Home Product Purchase Subsidy Activity citywide at 11:00 AM on October 16, 2026.
Consumers participating in the activity can, after the activity begins, apply through the "Tianjin Consumer Goods Trade-In Subsidy Activity" mini-program on the UnionPay QuickPass APP to obtain subsidy eligibility exchange vouchers for both online and offline consumption channels, and redeem the corresponding subsidy eligibility to participate in the activity. Consumers are kindly requested to carefully read the "2026 Tianjin Smart Home Product Purchase Subsidy Activity Rules" to understand the relevant requirements of the activity and ensure smooth participation.
2026 Tianjin Smart Home Product Purchase Subsidy Activity Policy Q&A
1. Q: What conditions must consumers meet to participate in this subsidy activity?
A: The subsidy recipients for the 2026 Tianjin Smart Home Purchase Subsidy Activity are individual consumers within the administrative area of Tianjin, and the order delivery address must be within the administrative area of Tianjin.
2. Q: When does this subsidy activity start and end?
A: This activity starts at 11:00 AM on October 16, 2026, and ends no later than December 31, 2026 (inclusive).
3. Q: What products does this subsidy cover? What are the subsidy standards?
A: This subsidy covers 10 categories of products: smart floor washing machines (smart floor washers, smart robot vacuum cleaners), smart range hoods, smart gas stoves (including smart gas integrated stoves), smart dishwashers, smart water purifiers, smart massage chairs, smart fitness equipment (smart treadmills, smart elliptical machines), smart home printers, smart projectors, and action cameras (including integrated gimbal cameras). A subsidy of 15% of the final sales price of the product is provided, with a maximum subsidy of 1,500 yuan per item. Within the entire city, each consumer can receive a subsidy for one item per product category. Subsidized products must have corresponding smart functions and possess a valid product barcode issued by the China Article Numbering Center. Among them, product categories with energy efficiency or water efficiency labels must be Grade 1 energy efficiency or water efficiency level. Energy efficiency and water efficiency levels shall be based on the filing information on the China Energy Label Network and the China Water Efficiency Label Network. Each product must have a unique product serial number (SN), and the manufacturer should have a sound product serial number management system and product traceability system.
4. Q: How is the final sales price of the product calculated? Which discounts do not affect the subsidy?
A: The final sales price is the actual transaction price after deducting various discounts from the seller, e-commerce platform, and other parties. Financial institution payment discounts do not reduce the subsidy calculation base and do not affect the enjoyment of the subsidy.
5. Q: How do you apply for the subsidy eligibility exchange voucher? Are there any restrictions?
A: Consumers apply for exchange vouchers through the "Tianjin Consumer Goods Trade-In Subsidy Activity" mini-program on the UnionPay QuickPass APP. Exchange vouchers are divided into online and offline channels, and can only be redeemed for subsidy eligibility in the corresponding channel. Except for the first month of the activity, exchange vouchers for each month are issued from 11:00 AM on the 1st of that month during the activity period, on a first-come, first-served basis, while supplies last, and end at the latest by the end of that month. Exchange vouchers are limited to personal use in the current month and become invalid after expiration.
6. Q: How many exchange vouchers can each person apply for?
A: Consumers participating in the smart home purchase subsidy activity can apply for a maximum of 10 vouchers per person per month, with a cumulative annual limit of no more than 20. After consumers receive exchange vouchers, whether used or not, and whether returned or not, they will all count toward the annual cumulative quota, with no refunds or replacements.
7. Q: Are there regional restrictions on applying for exchange vouchers?
A: Yes. When applying for exchange vouchers, the platform will verify the consumer's geographic location information. Consumers not within the administrative area of Tianjin cannot apply.
8. Q: How do you redeem subsidy eligibility?
A: After successfully applying for an exchange voucher, consumers can redeem the subsidy eligibility for the relevant category through the "Tianjin Consumer Goods Trade-In Subsidy Activity" mini-program on the UnionPay QuickPass APP in the current month. When redeeming subsidy eligibility with an online channel exchange voucher, consumers need to designate the specific e-commerce platform to be used. The subsidy eligibility redeemed by consumers is limited to personal use in the current month. After expiration, consumers must re-apply for an exchange voucher and redeem it before use. Redeemed but unused subsidy eligibility can be changed to a different subsidy category within the validity period of the current month. Among them, online channel subsidy eligibility can also be changed to a different designated e-commerce platform within the validity period of the current month.
9. Q: How do you use subsidy eligibility to enjoy the subsidy when shopping online and offline?
A: For offline shopping, when consumers select subsidized products at participating stores, they need to present the subsidy eligibility QR code generated by the UnionPay QuickPass APP. After the cashier scans the code to complete subsidy eligibility verification, the subsidy is deducted immediately at payment. For online shopping, consumers need to log in with their real name to the "Tianjin Consumer Goods Trade-In Subsidy Activity Zone" on the designated e-commerce platform to select subsidized products. After the system automatically completes subsidy eligibility verification in the background, the subsidy is deducted immediately at payment. After consumers enjoy the immediate subsidy deduction, the corresponding subsidy eligibility is simultaneously written off.
10. Q: What are the invoice requirements for this subsidy activity?
A: All sales invoices for this activity are electronic invoices. Each subsidized product must be ordered, paid for, and invoiced separately. The corresponding principle of "one eligibility, one product, one order, one payment, one invoice" shall be strictly implemented. The invoice content should comply with the unified standard requirements of the activity, the invoice amount shall be the product sales price including the government subsidy, and the invoice title shall be the consumer's real name.
11. Q: What are the delivery requirements for the subsidized products in this activity?
A: In order to ensure the orderly monthly release of subsidy funds and timely payment, subsidized products purchased in the current month should be delivered and handed over by the 10th of the following month (inclusive). Consumers should reasonably arrange the timing of exchange voucher application, subsidized consumption, and delivery based on their own needs. Before purchasing subsidized products, consumers should fully understand the activity's time requirements for product delivery and cooperate with the seller to complete delivery and handover on time. Sellers should inform consumers in a prominent manner before sale of the activity's requirements regarding product delivery time, and reach agreement with consumers on the specific time of delivery and handover, as well as solutions in the event that delivery cannot be completed on time for any reason. Disputes arising therefrom shall be resolved through negotiation between consumers and sellers.
12. Q: What are the return requirements for products under this subsidy activity?
A: For subsidized products purchased in the current month and delivered by the 10th of the following month (inclusive), after the 18th of the following month (inclusive), returns are generally not accepted except for quality issues. If returns are truly necessary due to issues such as products not being delivered on time or product quality problems, with the consent of both the consumer and the seller, a refund shall be processed via "return to original payment method" based on the actual amount paid by the consumer after the immediate subsidy deduction. After the return and refund procedures are completed, if the corresponding subsidy eligibility is still within its validity period, it will be immediately restored for use; if it has exceeded the validity period of the subsidy eligibility, the consumer must re-apply for an exchange voucher according to the activity requirements and redeem the corresponding subsidy eligibility before use.
13. Q: How can consumers seek consultation or file complaints if they encounter problems?
A: Consumers and relevant business entities who need to consult about the relevant policies of this activity, or file complaints, reports, and suggestions regarding related issues, can call the Municipal Commerce Bureau activity hotlines 022-23537155 and 23537159, or contact the participating sellers and e-commerce platforms.
