The extension is convenient because it works at the time of purchase: the user is already on the store’s website, and the tool tells you whether there are promo codes or promotions for this domain. But the extension must be careful: not to interfere with the purchase and not to collect unnecessary data.
Who will find it useful?
This article will come in handy before installing any browser-based discount assistant, especially if you're comparing multiple extensions on the Chrome Web Store.
Procedure
- Check permissions: it is enough for the extension to see store sites and open the necessary links, but it does not need unnecessary access.
- See if the widget appears only on relevant sites, and not on every page of the Internet.
- Make sure that the promo code can be copied, and that the transition to the store occurs with an explicit click.
- Check if there is a privacy policy and a clear description of affiliate links.
What to check before moving
- Chrome permissions
- Visibility of the widget only if there are offers
- copying code
- terms of the promotion
- clear data source
Where people often go wrong
A dangerous sign is that the extension promises automatic savings, but does not show what code it uses and where the button leads. The user must remain in control.
How ShopTools helps
The ShopTools extension complements the website and the Telegram bot: the website is convenient for browsing, the bot is for quick requests, and the extension is for checking directly on the store page.
