We utilize an advanced data processing system that strictly adheres to our core value of saving users money through reliable sources. We regularly optimize this system to provide the best user experience.
We primarily obtain coupon codes from official brand and retailer websites, supplemented by direct sales, social media, and affiliate networks. Our affiliate partners also provide exclusive discounts for our users. Of course, the power of our users cannot be underestimated; they can submit newly discovered coupon codes to our website, and after verification, we will display them for everyone at no charge.

Building, maintaining, and operating our manual and AI systems for collecting, reviewing, and categorizing coupon codes requires significant work. This is the area where we spend the most time at smatdeals. Our system combines the efforts of our manual coupon review team with the latest AI technology to filter out the coupon codes that will best help shoppers save money.
The validity and availability of coupon codes are often affected by a variety of factors, including but not limited to the following reasons:
Time limit: Many coupons have a specific validity period, after which they cannot be used.
Usage restrictions: Some coupons may only be used on specific products, specific categories, or specific purchase amounts.
Geographic restrictions: Some coupons may only be used by users in a specific region.
Stock restrictions: Coupons may have a limited number of items and will expire once the usage limit is reached.
Merchant policies: Some merchants will change or cancel coupons at any time to respond to changes in market demand or promotional strategies.
Technical issues: Coupon codes may sometimes not work properly due to technical failures.
Approximately 1,000,000 potential voucher codes are discovered daily: We extensively collect and filter coupons to ensure the richness and diversity of information.
About 80% of codes are discarded: We consolidate duplicate promo codes and prioritize the most reliable sources to display high-quality information. Through strict screening and integration, we ensure the quality of the coupons presented.
About 60,000 invalid coupons are rejected daily: We filter out coupons for specific products that shoppers are unlikely to purchase, low-quality stores, or stores not listed on smatdeals. Each month, we strive to expand to new merchants to provide users with more discount information comprehensively.
Approximately 5% of coupons are finally published: About 50,000 coupons discovered daily are published on smatdeals. We believe these coupons are the most useful for helping shoppers save money at checkout.
Our engineering team has developed an automated verification system to speed up the verification process and quickly synchronize it to our pages. We adjust the display order based on the success rate of tested promo codes. 83% of the verified valid codes indeed save users money.
We also place great importance on user feedback. Each promo code has a “like” and “dislike” button after being copied, and the feedback data is included in the success rate. Additionally, we cannot overlook the importance of deals. These discount offers do not require promo codes, and some merchants regularly hold promotions. We capture this information and provide it to users to prevent them from missing out on the latest discounts.
We categorize verified coupons into two types: active coupons and expired coupons. Although some coupons may appear expired, they might still be valid, so we recommend these coupons to provide more potential savings and reduce resource waste.
Coupons in the active section are sorted by verification time, discount amount, usage restrictions, and promotional sources, and we update them daily to enhance customer experience. We regularly adjust the order based on market conditions to provide consumers with more accurate discount codes.
Promotions are categorized at the top of the page, allowing users to quickly access the most relevant and suitable promotions, such as first-order discounts, student discounts, military discounts, etc. For brands with fewer promotions, we recommend popular alternatives on the page. Our sorting and recommendations prioritize user experience over commission benefits. About 80% of the page does not generate revenue for us, we provide coupon information to consumers for free.
Through continuous technological innovation and user feedback, we are constantly improving and optimizing our system to ensure we provide the highest quality and most reliable coupon and discount information. This is the source of our professionalism and user trust.
