Shop Codes

What are Shop codes?

Shop codes are usually a string of letters and numbers (e.g. 5DISCOUNT) or buzzword (e.g. VALENTINE)

which can be entered into the shopping basket and/or checkout at online stores to save money when shopping online for goods and services. They're the online equivalent of in-store discount vouchers.

Shop Codes can be:

• Generic codes, which usually means a discount across the entire site.
• Product specific codes, which typically applies to selected categories, products or services.

Why do stores issue Shop Codes?

• To attract news coverage and raise brand awareness.
• To attract extra sites visitors leading to more sales and signups to online services.
• To attract sales from their competitors.
• To clear stock.

Shop codes usually offer a percentage discount, a fixed saving or free delivery but could apply to anything the issuing site comes up with.
