Is there any way to prevent influencer promo codes from ending up on discount sharing sites like Honey or Deal Spotr?
Hi, @SusieCGS!
Your question is a great one!
Regrettably, there is no foolproof method to prevent influencer promo codes from being shared on discount sharing sites such as Honey or Deal Spotr. These sites utilize automated tools to crawl the internet for discount codes, and they may detect influencer codes that are publicly shared.
In order to minimize this, I would suggest setting the discount codes with some limits, for example;
Limiting to one use per customer and setting an expiration date as shown below
Another thing you can try is to contact Honey and Deal Spotr support and request that they delist your website. You can contact Honey support here and Deal Spotr at this link here.
If you're looking for a way to protect your promo codes and prevent them from being shared on discount sites, you can check out Promo Pirates here in our app store. This app provides a range of features to help you protect your promo codes. With Promo Pirates, you can ensure that your promo codes are only used by the intended recipients and prevent them from being shared on discount sites.

Hey Susie,
Our app, Veeper, has a product called Coupon Blocker which stops coupon extensions from leaking and auto-injecting codes at your checkout in real-time. We also have a product called Coupon Scanner which scans every discount site daily and alerts you of when codes end up on the sites.
