ShopTools AI can test available promo codes in supported carts, but it does not know which size or model you meant to buy. Review these five parts of the order before comparing discounts.
1. Items, variants and quantities
Read the variant text in the cart itself. A thumbnail may not distinguish colors, volumes, device models or included accessories. For clothing, also check your selected size against the store's size chart.
- Model and compatibility: the right connector, device size and accessory version.
- Volume and contents: a single item, a multipack or a bundle.
- Seller and quantity: no duplicates or backup options left over from comparing products.
For example, choosing a clear phone case may leave an earlier black case in the cart too. A discount on two cases does not fix an unwanted purchase. Remove the extra item before recording your starting total.
2. Delivery and additional services
Check the destination, delivery method and arrival time. Free shipping advertised on a product page may not cover your address or courier option. Review the total again once delivery has been calculated.
Inspect separate charges for express service, handling, wrapping, insurance, extended warranties or subscriptions. Keep only services you deliberately chose, and wait for recalculation after removing one.
3. Promotions already in the order
Before entering another code, record the current amount and active promotions. That is your comparison point. An old product-page price is no longer a baseline if the order or its conditions have changed.
A new code can replace a store promotion. Review both the applied-offers line and the total: a green acceptance message does not establish that the order costs less.
4. Points and payment method
Separate points actually being redeemed now from rewards promised after the purchase. Future points do not reduce the amount you are authorizing today.
Changing a card, payment service or subscription can change the displayed price. Keep the payment method fixed while comparing options. If you change it, read the total and terms again.
5. The amount on the last pre-payment screen
Once the order is set, record the payable amount and currency. You can then open ShopTools in that cart and start a code test yourself. Leave the items and delivery unchanged while it runs.
After the test, review all five parts again. A verified decrease describes the cart as observed, not every future version of it. Check the final payment amount on the store's screen.
After a reload or a change of variant
- Wait for loading to finish, then check the domain, items, quantities and promo field. Do not submit a code again before you understand the order's current state.
- If the store returns you to an earlier step, review delivery and payment again. Saved products do not necessarily mean saved checkout choices.
- After changing a size, color or seller, record a new starting total. The previous comparison no longer refers to the same order.
If a code covers only a different variant, decide whether that variant suits you without considering the discount. ShopTools does not establish compatibility with your device or choose the right clothing size for you.
A product list and total are enough for a personal comparison note. Do not share checkout screenshots containing addresses or payment details. Complete the purchase only after your own review, whatever the assistant reports.
