Pay for Performance, Not Promises

 

1. No upfront costs, no pay-per-click

2. Only charges a fee on sales we generate

3. If no sales, then it’s just free exposure

VS.

Other Online Platforms

1. Charges you for each view or click

2. You hope those result in leads and sales

3. If not, you spent more than you got back

Traditional Advertising

1. Charges you upfront just to host your ad

2. You hope the visibility drives new business

3. If not, it’s your loss – they got your money

Frequently Asked Questions

Here's What You Should Know

 
 

After you sign up to become a Groupon merchant, you'll be able to create an account to access our Merchant Center portal. There, you can build your campaign using our self-service Campaign Manager tool.

For a step-by-step walkthrough of the process, check out the above video tutorial.

 

Groupon does not charge any upfront costs for creating and running a campaign on our site. We operate a “pay-as-you-go” model, meaning you only pay for the results, not for the listing.

While there is no fee to join Groupon, we charge a commission rate on all sales, which varies. The margin depends on your business's category or industry. The discount depends on your deal structure — we give recommendations based on what deal price will deliver the best performance (see the Campaign Manager tab in Merchant Center for more details). Get started today to calculate your commission.

 

We provide a whole suite of Merchant Tools to help you get the most out of your Groupon campaign:

Merchant Center - The portal where you can create and manage campaigns, redeem vouchers, view performance data and customer demographics, update your business's information, reach out to Merchant Support, access other tools, and more.

Campaign Manager - The self-service tool which lets you build and launch your own campaign, as well as make edits at any time.

Ads for Campaigns - Want to get your deal even more exposure? Use Ads for Campaigns to boost it to top spots for a competitive advantage.

Booking Solutions - Making your Groupon campaign bookable streamlines the purchase process and boosts business. Connect your deal to an account with one of our integrated partners, or use our own free Booking Tool.

 

Groupon Website

Your Groupon deal page unlocks access to millions of users as they shop. It also links your business’s website or social media, so customers can learn more about you even after your campaign.

Mobile Application

Groupon’s mobile app is among the most-visited in the US, with over 200 million downloads and counting. That means customers can seek out and access your deals almost immediately.

National Media Outlets

Groupon drives business to your campaign by investing in online video, social advertising, search engine marketing (SEM), organic search (SEO), email marketing, and other online advertising, as well as national campaigns in traditional media outlets.
