For every sale we drive on our partner sites, we get a commission from them, a part of which is passed on to customers as cashback. This cashback is confirmed after the return period on an item has expired.”
Use price tracker apps to: It is a known fact that sellers often increase the selling price of an item and offer deep discounts on the face value. You can check the validity of a discount by tracking a product’s price history using a price-tracking app like Price History and Price Tracker.
Such apps can compare the prices of the same item across different platforms so that you can get the cheapest deal.
Shop secretly: Most platforms extract data from your browsing history and cookies to influence prices in real time. This is especially true for non-branded items and private labels sold online.
It is recommended that you browse in incognito or private mode so that the prices of the items you want to buy do not increase dynamically, even if you take the time to make a decision about your purchase.
