cleanCART Product Information and Latest Updates (2025)

Brutal Teardowns

Part of me wishes this was called Vinegar. Also, can't wait for the inevitable acquisition by Stripe, and then Paypal vs Stripe battle that ensues. Anyway, great idea for a service. Honey is a game changer for the consumer, but the flipside of that is the impact on the retailers. Very creative!

Feels like an escalation in the ad block war... and seems user hostile, but ok. If I were a merchant, I can see why I'd want this. I just think inflation is inevitable and the cost of discounts/coupons will eventually be built into the base price.

@chrismessina Hi Chris. Thank you for taking the time to check out the product and share your perspective. We definitely aren't aiming to be user hostile and that's why we don't block coupons - just auto-injection. What we've seen happens when coupon extensions are able to scrape limited use coupons is that merchants stop using discount codes for their marketing because they worry they won't have any control over them. We actually believe this will be good for the user at the end of the day because it will allow merchants to more fully leverage discount code strategies without having to worry their codes will leak.

@kathleen_booth1 I understand that perspective... but if a user has installed an extension to automatically apply coupon codes, aren't you interfering with the user's intentions? I understand that merchants want to manipulate users into buying more things with discounts, but many merchants from whom I receive email seem to have a promo code in every email — similar to Bed Bath & Beyond's annoying mailers. These companies wouldn't resort to these tactics if they didn't work, but in response, companies like Honey have emerged to tip the balance back towards the consumer, which had to take on the burden of searching dozens of coupon sites to try to find deals just to bring the price back to a reasonable level. I guess it sucks on both ends, which is why I originally observed that cleanCART is just another escalation in this never-ending capitalist push and pull between sellers and buyers.
