How ranking works

We show you all of it. If you cannot see how to move up, the only thing left to try is spending more — and a board you can only win by outspending is a board full of bad deals.

Your spot = what you pay per click × how good your deal is

Pay more to move up. Or offer a better discount and move up for less.

  1. 01

    Two things decide your spot

    What you pay for a click, and how good your deal is. We multiply them together. That means a great deal can beat a bigger budget.

  2. 02

    Three things make up your deal score

    How big your discount is. How much money your deal has actually made. And whether shoppers say the code worked. A great score can double your spot. A bad one can cut it in half.

  3. 03

    We only count sales we can see

    Your score uses real sales from your own Stripe account, matched to the code you gave us. We never ask you to tell us your numbers. If we did, whoever typed the biggest number would win.

  4. 04

    You almost never pay your full bid

    You only pay what it takes to stay one spot ahead of the deal below you. Bid $1.00 and it might only cost you 34¢. So put in what a visitor is really worth to you. You will not be punished for being honest.

  5. 05

    One person, one click a day

    If the same shopper clicks your deal five times today, you pay for one. Bots and search engines do not count at all.

  6. 06

    No clicks, no cost

    There is no monthly fee and no fee to be listed. You add credit, and it is only spent when someone actually clicks your deal. Money you do not spend stays yours.

  7. 07

    Run out of credit and your deal pauses

    We take it off the board instead of sending you visitors we cannot charge for. Add more credit and it goes straight back up.

  8. 08

    A broken code sinks

    Shoppers can tell us whether your code worked. If yours stops working, your score drops and you slide down the board. Nobody has to notice and report it.

  9. 09

    Featured spots are separate

    You can pay a flat weekly price to sit at the top. We label it as an ad, because it is one. It does not change your score and it does not change the bidding underneath.
