The Reality of Online Shopping Today
Online shopping is easier than ever, so saving money should be, too.
What used to be a quick search for a promo code has turned into a frustrating routine: opening multiple tabs, scrolling through discount sites, copying and pasting codes, and hoping one of them works at checkout. More often than not, you’re met with the same result: “This code is invalid or expired.”
Meanwhile, sales are no longer limited to one day or one weekend. Promotions start early, end late, disappear, reappear, and change. Prices fluctuate. A deal that looks good today might vanish tomorrow.
Trying to track all of this manually is exhausting. And that’s exactly why Checkmate exists.
What Is Checkmate?
Checkmate is a free shopping app and browser extension that helps you save money without tracking down discounts yourself.
Instead of showing you endless promo codes and hoping one works, Checkmate automatically finds and applies the best savings for you, and only when they actually apply to your purchase.
In addition to savings, Checkmate also helps you:
✔️ Shop across your favorite brands in one place
✔️ Organize items you’re thinking about buying into Collections
✔️ Track your orders after checkout
Checkmate is designed to make shopping feels simpler, not more complicated.
How Checkmate Works, Step by Step
Using Checkmate is intentionally easy. Here’s how it works from start to finish.
Step 1: Download the Checkmate App
Start by downloading the Checkmate app. This is where you can browse, save items, manage collections, and track your orders, all in one place.
You can shop your favorite stores without juggling a ton of tabs, and save items you’re interested in for later.
Step 2: Enable the Mobile Safari Extension
Once you’ve installed the app, you’ll be prompted to turn on the Checkmate Safari extension.
This step is key. The extension is what allows Checkmate to automatically check for savings at checkout across 200,000+ online stores.
Make sure the toggle is turned on, after that, there’s nothing else you need to do.
Step 3: Shop Like You Normally Would
Continue shopping as usual. Add items to your cart, head to checkout, and that’s it.
When you reach checkout, Checkmate automatically checks for eligible discounts in the background and applies the best available option, without you needing to click, search, or test codes yourself.
If there’s a real savings opportunity, you’ll see it instantly.
If there isn’t, Checkmate stays quiet.
Step 4: Track Orders and Save Items to Collections
After you check out, Checkmate can help you track your orders so you’re never wondering where your package is.
You can also save items to Checkmate Collections, which act like smart wishlists. Checkmate tracks price changes for those items and notifies you when:
✔️ The price drops
✔️ A better deal appears
✔️ A stackable discount becomes available
Instead of constantly checking prices, you save the item once, and let Checkmate watch it for you.
Why Do Other Discount Sites Have So Many Expired Codes?
If you’ve ever wondered why coupon sites are packed with codes that don’t work, you’re not alone.
Most traditional discount sites rely on:
✔️ User-submitted promo codes
✔️ Old promotions that brands no longer support
✔️ High volume over accuracy
The result is dissapointing, especially when you’re already ready to buy.
How Checkmate Is Different
Checkmate takes a fundamentally different approach to savings.
Instead of showing you dozens of random codes and hoping one works, Checkmate:
✔️ Only applies discounts that actually work for your cart
✔️ Doesn’t surface expired or invalid codes
✔️ Doesn’t interrupt your shopping when no savings are available
If Checkmate can’t guarantee a discount, it doesn’t pretend otherwise.
Checkmate is built to respect your time.
Is Checkmate Free?
Yes. Checkmate is completely free to use.
You never pay to access savings, track orders, or use Collections.
Your prices don’t increase, and your checkout experience stays exactly the same, just with less effort and more confidence.
Who Is Checkmate Best For?
Checkmate is built for all shoppers, especially those who are tired of jumping through hoops to save money.
It’s perfect for:
✔️ Shoppers who don’t want to spend time searching for promo codes
✔️ Anyone overwhelmed by price changes
✔️ People who want savings without extra work
✔️ Deal-savvy shoppers who still value their time
✔️ Anyone who wants to shop smarter, not harder
Whether you’re buying everyday essentials or waiting for the right moment to splurge, Checkmate works quietly in the background to make sure you don’t miss out.
The Bottom Line
Modern online shopping doesn’t need more tabs, more codes, or more guesswork.
Checkmate simplifies the entire experience, from finding real savings to tracking orders and knowing when it’s truly the right time to buy.
Smarter shopping, handled for you.
