The music video for "Ka-Ching!" was shot in Mexico City and Madrid in January of 2003. It was directed by Finnish director Antti J, who also shot her video for "Up!" around the same time. The video debuted in Europe and Central and South America on February 25, 2003. Three alternate versions of the video exist, one without her silver outfit, one without her red dress, and one with both outfits. The video depicts a city consumed with greed, Twain finds the streets empty and cars left abandoned while everyone is in a casino, sticking with the theme of the song. "Ka-Ching!" is one of only two Shania videos to remain commercially unavailable.
