How Can We Help?
Deals: Promo Codes
The Promo Codes feature allows you to offer exclusive discounts to app users directly. When added to a Deal, this feature displays a Get Promo Code button in the app, making it simple for users to copy your promo code and navigate to a member’s offer page.
What the Promo Codes Feature Does
When you add a promo code and a corresponding URL to a Deal, Local Explorers automatically:
- Displays a Get Promo Code button for users
- Opens a popup that allows users to copy your code with one tap
- Redirects users to the link you provide, where they can paste the code and complete their purchase
This creates a seamless way for customers to access and redeem your promotions.

- Keep promo codes up-to-date and remove expired codes
