Block Discount Extensions Like Honey

[Jay_JUNKbrands]

Hi all,

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but has anyone figured out a way to block apps like Honey from automatically scraping and/or applying discounts? It's become a big problem for us recently, and I can't seem to find anything via Google about how one could block something like this.

Thanks!

Jay

Hello! Did you ever get around to building the js-script to block extensions like honey and other shopping extensions? Thank you! 

[promopirates]

We developed an app that blocks 25+ coupon extensions like Honey, Capital One Shopping, Retailmenot, Coupert, and so many others. 

It not only blocks them from auto injecting, but even blocks them from showing up in the first place. 

But even more exciting, we also crawl 100+ coupon sites and let you know exactly what code leaked out to which site. 

No one can fully block extensions from scraping. That's just sadly a thing that isn't possible, but at least you'll know about it, and if you are on a plus plan, we can also disable it in checkout. 

Best part! It's affordable and as low as $29/mo.

[tammyengage]

yes please.  we have a reward program based upon how many times a personal discount code is used with others so these extensions are really screwing up our program.

Unfortunately there's no oneshot fix for this, while it would be nice to hope such services would be required to only use sites that have opted in not likely going to ever happen.

Since opt-in only is anathema to such business models, practically there are way too many companies that benefit from tools such as honey, or similar such as ad-blockers.

A better tactic may be getting them to provide a clear way for you to clearly indicate which coupons are allowed for sharing.

Similar to how for SEO google et al respect the robots.txt file.

Also really make sure you cannot turn this to your advantage such as setting up automation to not-fulfill such orders, informing them with the proper messaging and getting these prospect to to take an action that's beneficial to you(such as tweeting) , etc.

Such as leaning into it , similar to what @TrueGrit did, such as making positive messaging(twitter hashtags, heyhoneyfindusonfbforbiggerdeals,etc) , or making ridiculously bad discounts to make needles in haystacks( $0.01 off $1000 order,etc)

[megalag]

Hi guys!

I am currently working on an investigation into browser extensions which exploit affiliate attribution and damage margins for small ecommerce owners. If you're interested in sharing your story, I would love to hear from you!

Please private message me here so we can talk via email. I have a large audience, and plan to make a lot of noise on this issue.

Thanks
