Top discount and coupon platforms for Shopify stores

Most popular discount and coupon extensions that leak your store's codes

Running a Shopify store? Then you're probably experiencing unexpected discount code usage eating into your profits. Browser extensions that automatically find and apply coupon codes have become increasingly popular with shoppers - but they can be a real headache for store owners. Let's look at the major players you need to watch out for.

1. Honey

PayPal's Honey is probably the most well-known discount hunter - you've likely heard them advertised on your favorite podcasts like Joe Rogan or Crime Junkie. Acquired by PayPal for $4 billion in 2019, it automatically tests every known coupon code during checkout and has over 17 million users actively sharing your store's discount codes. The massive acquisition price demonstrates just how profitable these discount-hunting operations can be.

2. Capital One Shopping

Formerly known as Wikibuy, Capital One Shopping works similarly to Honey but with a focus on price comparison. It actively collects and tests discount codes from your store while comparing prices with other retailers.

3. RetailMeNot

RetailMeNot Extension

One of the oldest players in the game, RetailMeNot combines user-submitted codes with their browser extension to automatically apply discounts. They maintain a massive database of both active and expired codes.

4. SimplyCodes

SimplyCodes Extension

SimplyCodes claims to have "human-verified" coupon codes, but they're still essentially collecting and distributing your private promotional codes to unintended audiences.

5. Cently

Cently Extension

Previously known as Coupon Follow, Cently monitors your customers' shopping carts and automatically injects found discount codes. They maintain a real-time database of working promotional codes.

6. Coupert

Coupert Extension

Coupert incentivizes users to share working discount codes by offering cash back rewards, creating a continuous cycle of code leaking from your store.

7. CouponBirds

CouponBirds Extension

CouponBirds combines a coupon database with a browser extension, automatically testing codes during checkout while maintaining a community-driven platform for sharing promotional codes.

8. ShareASale

While primarily an affiliate network, ShareASale partners often create unauthorized coupon sites that collect and distribute your store's promotional codes to drive commission-based sales.
