Trust & Transparency
How we verify discounts, protect your data, and keep PayLessly free
How Discounts Are Verified
PayLessly tests discounts in real time to confirm they apply correctly and reflect the actual savings you'll see at checkout.
Before testing, we filter discounts based on eligibility requirements - such as category restrictions, minimum spend, first-time buyer rules, and regional availability - so you only see deals that apply to your situation.
Verified discounts are timestamped so you can see how recently they were checked. If a discount stops working, it's automatically removed from the platform.
Why Some Coupons Don't Apply
Not all coupons apply to every product or shopper. Common restrictions include:
- • Category exclusions (e.g., "not valid on sale items" or "excludes gift cards")
- • Eligibility requirements (such as first-time buyers only or minimum purchase amounts)
- • Regional restrictions (available only in certain states or countries)
- • Time limits (expired or not yet active)
PayLessly automatically filters these out and only shows discounts that apply to your specific situation.
How Often Prices Are Checked
PayLessly continuously monitors prices and discounts across partner retailers.
High-interest products and active deals are checked more frequently, while standard listings are refreshed regularly throughout the day. When you search for a specific product, we verify available discounts on demand.
Every result includes a "Last checked" timestamp so you can see how fresh the data is.
Affiliate Disclosure
PayLessly may earn a commission when you purchase through our links - this never changes the price you pay.
We partner with retailers through affiliate networks to fund the platform and keep it free for shoppers.
Our commitment: We never hide cheaper options or bias rankings. The lowest verified net price always wins.
Your Privacy & Data
We do not sell your personal data.
We collect only what's necessary to operate PayLessly - such as your email for account access and notifications, ZIP code for tax estimates and nearby pickup options, and limited usage data to improve relevance. For full details, please review our Privacy Policy.

Why Deals Sometimes Disappear
Deals may be removed if a price changes, a discount expires, or a coupon no longer passes our verification checks. We remove deals as soon as they stop working to keep results accurate and trustworthy.
