Protect your ecommerce margins & increase average order value by blocking unwanted discount codes from coupon extensions like Honey, CapitalOne Shopping, Piggy, and more. Currently available for Shopify Plus users. Not Shopify Plus? Get on the wait list.
@alex_kotliar Thank you for sharing your feedback Alex. We're excited about the product too :-) So far, based on the data we've seen from our initial group of beta testers, it appears that buyer conversion rates are by and large unaffected by the product.
Part of me wishes this was called Vinegar.
Also, can't wait for the inevitable acquisition by Stripe, and then Paypal vs Stripe battle that ensues.
Anyway, great idea for a service. Honey is a game changer for the consumer, but the flipside of that is the impact on the retailers. Very creative!
@rossdcurrie LOL love the name Vinegar! Thanks for your feedback Ross. Appreciate hearing your perspective and prediction for our future acquisition ;-)

This is really cool, and will be a huge relief to online retailers. It seems like there is a new extension every week.
@nick_carlson Thanks for your feedback Nick. This is exactly why we created cleanCART and we've heard this complaint from many of the retailers we've spoken to. They feel like they're playing a game of whack-a-mole with coupon extensions. Our goal is to eliminate this as an issue so they can focus on other aspects of their business without having to worry about coupon codes eroding their margins.

Super cool solution to the margin pressure and attribution jockeying associated with unauthorized coupons!
@jay_crystal Thanks Jay! Those are exactly the problems that cleanCART is designed to solve. Appreciate you taking the time to leave your feedback.

I believe that end of the day this solution is good for end consumers as well. It keeps merchant motivated to set up loyalty programs and sales. Well done!
@katherinetuluzova Exactly! Developing a long term business strategy and ensuring your best customers get the best rewards is key to sustainable growth! Thanks for your feedback :)

In your ad stating that you don't want to attract "price driven" customers, but brand loyal ones... that sounds a lot like we don't want people without disposable incomes buying our products. At a time when many are cash strapped this seems pretty distasteful. Let customers use the tools they can to receive a discount, blocking them to better track your ROI is just gross.
@puppycodes Hi Alice. Sorry to hear that you find it distasteful. To be clear, we are not anti-coupon and our product does not prevent shoppers from using coupons. What it does do is prevent third party extensions from scraping codes that are not intended for everyone and then auto-injecting them. When our solution is in place, any customer can still manually enter any code they want - the only thing we stop are the robots.
Unfortunately, we've seen examples of employee discount codes being shared, codes like MILITARYHERO that offer discounts to veterans, and FRONTLINERESPONDER that offer discounts to healthcare workers during the COVID pandemic all being shared by these extensions.
In the "real world", we would never walk into a store and falsely claim to be an employee, Army vet, or healthcare worker in order to get a discount, and we don't think that same behavior should be okay online.
We also want to give retailers a fighting chance. This past year we've seen too many small businesses go out of business because their brick and mortar locations were shut down or limited due to the pandemic. For many of them, ecommerce is the only way to stay afloat and when they lose control of their discount strategies, they also take a big hit to their margins. We're trying to help them regain some degree of control.
I hope this helps shed some light on why we built cleanCART.

@kathleen_booth1 Robots aren't buying the products though people are. If you are a business and want to validate everyone that uses a coupon then you probably should not be using publicly available coupons. Your product blocks people from knowing there may be a discount, your frontline responder example is a problem for how an ecommerce platform roles out their coupons, your product doesn't solve that problem it just creates a new one by stopping everyone from seeing coupons that could save them money. The customer (especially the cash strapped one) just loses with this, and I would challenge the logic that somehow small business are hurt by there own coupons that they roll out...
@puppycodes Thanks for sharing your perspective Alice. I guess we'll agree to disagree, but I appreciate your feedback.

Great product! Since i work at a Ecom company, i have few trade offs regarding the solution.
1. Instead of using clearCart, what if the ecom platforms create coupon code which is user specific ?
2. Aren't we losing revenue where users are usually looking to purchase by using discount coupons / Beat deals these extensions are offering?
