Many promo code services work through affiliate links: the user is directed to the store, and the service may receive a commission if the purchase is made. This is a normal model if it does not hide the conditions and does not worsen the price.
Who will find it useful?
The material helps to understand why the promo code button leads through an intermediate transition and what to pay attention to.
Procedure
- Make sure the link goes to the right store and not to a random page.
- See if the price changes after the transition.
- Please understand that service fees should not be added to your cart.
- Use only clear buttons and do not open suspicious redirects.
What to check before moving
- destination store
- the price has not deteriorated
- terms of the promotion are visible
- click to go
- clear service policy
Where people often go wrong
It's bad practice to hide where the link goes or open the store without user action.
How ShopTools helps
ShopTools uses explicit navigation buttons and preserves the user action: you choose when to open the store.
