Hey @dennishegstad ! Congrats on the launch, pretty great idea! I do have some technical questions though since the website is quite minimal :). - Which coupon pages are you screening? Is this focusing on US coupon pages or e.g. also European ones? It would be great if you could add a list somewhere. - How often are you checking these coupon pages? Just wondering how you deal with this massive task? Thanks & Well done!

@fabian_kutschera thanks fabian! we're checking honey right now but plans to integrate wikibuy, retailmenot and potential others down the line. right now we're checking for coupons at midnight and noon, 2x per day,thich will likely change to 4x per day.

Wow!! This is the best thing to happen to ecommerce marketers in quite some time! I've been advertising on podcasts and influencers for our brand (MVMT) since like 2014...and coupon code leaks were always the biggest headache in the world. I had to develop entire systems and processes to help avoid the leaks and to reconcile data when a code inevitably leaked. The long term solution ended up being caving in to the extortionists (retailmenot, honey, etc.) and giving them their own code(s) with the agreement that they would never post any other codes on our store page. Really thrilled about this service - just signed up.

@ethanframe glad you enjoy! we may be developing a free app for this to create rules and basically do everything you just mentioned as a manual and tedious pain point

@dennishegstad Love it - well, happy to connect and share some some thoughts and explain a little about the internal makeshift tools I've built on my end (that goes beyond being notified if the code is leaked).

@ethanframe definitely! after notifications, having logic to take action on those events is for sure the obvious next step. would love to talk.

Having worked with a ton of brands that run into issues with private coupons getting blasted out and sometimes abused across Honey, RetailMeNot and the like, this a tool to watch. It's free, which makes it even better. Other folks in the eCommerce, D2C brand space...are you running into coupon abuse as much as I have been?

Such a good idea! I was wondering if companies had a way to know if coupon codes leaked, and now it looks like they do. 🙌😃

Looks pretty good, and I can imagine it is helpful for a lot of stores. I though also immediatelly think how this could be improved... and one thing would be possibility to add webhook call when code is found. That would include code, so store could have their own process automated. If they have internally marked code OK to leak, no action, if it should be restricted, it could automatically turn that code off.

I will definitely try this out! Have had a lot of trouble with coupon sites sharing our coupon codes. Not at least the sites that share our affiliate's coupon codes 🤦‍♂️ This is something I wish existed YEARS ago!

@mkaroumi exactly Marcus! Imagine you have an influencer campaign where your deal is structure to pay 10% commission to the influencer based on their coupon code. Now that coupon code leaks to Honey/WikiBuy/RetailMeNot and you're giving away 10% commission to an influencer for a leaked code! Throwing away margin for nothing. That's one of the reason we built CouponScout because we got feedback from LiveRecover customers asking if we could 'let them know when their coupon leaks', bam! feedback -> product -> launch :)

Great idea! we just took down a few discount codes we had used on one-time marketing campaigns that we found making rounds on dealspotr. They were probably on there for a few months without our notice so this will come in handy moving forward ⚡️

@rleesays exactly Ryan! Do you know how much margin you gave up for free without knowing? Thats where we come in. We would have alerted you within hours on the same day of the leak.
