Understanding the extension interface

The SimplyCodes popup provides all the information you need to save money effectively:

Code listings

Each code displays several helpful details:

• Code value: The actual discount code you'll copy

• Discount amount: Percentage off, dollar amount, or free shipping

• Verification status: When the code was last tested

• Restrictions: Any minimum purchase or exclusion details

You may also see either verified codes or unverified codes.

Verified codes

A verified code on SimplyCodes has passed our rigorous community-powered testing process.

1. Multiple tests: Multiple users have successfully tested and confirmed the code works

2. Real-time validation: Active user voting (upvotes/downvotes) continually confirms code validity

3. Regular re-testing: Our system regularly re-checks codes to guard against expiration

4. Proof required: Testers must provide screenshots and verify coupon terms during testing

Unverified codes

An unverified code on SimplyCodes is a promo code that hasn't yet gone through our community-powered testing process. This means that while the code might be valid, it hasn't been confirmed by multiple users recently.

Troubleshooting common issues

Extension not appearing: Refresh the page or check that you're on a supported e-commerce site. SimplyCodes only activates on recognized shopping sites for privacy protection.

Missing rewards: Make sure you clicked "Earn $1" before checkout and that you're logged into your SimplyCodes account.

Privacy and security

SimplyCodes is designed with privacy first. The extension only activates on recognized e-commerce sites and doesn't track your general browsing activity. Your shopping data stays secure while you save money.

The SimplyCodes extension transforms every shopping trip into an opportunity to save. With more codes than anywhere else, rewards at more than 400,000 online stores, and community-verified codes, you'll wonder how you ever shopped without it.
