FAQ
Is this really free?
Yes! GoodCarts provides free traffic and redemptions within your primary circle. Paid features are in the works and optional. High quality free marketing that works.
How many new customers will I get?
This varies depending on many factors. Once you create your offer, upon approval of your choice of circles, we start sharing with shoppers. Most stores see new first-time store visits through GoodCarts within days, even hours!
Our easy-to-use coupon creation tools help you design the most compelling offer so you can maximize your success and your sales. From your member dashboard, you can see how often your coupon is viewed, collected and redeemed.
Do I need to promote other stores?
Yes, every store in the GoodCarts community works together to “recycle” post-purchase traffic.. Customers checking out from your store will be invited to view offers from other stores in the GoodCarts network. However, you are always in control! Our blocklist ensures you can exclude specific stores or competitors. The default setting is one coupon use per customer.
Every store in the GoodCarts network is carefully vetted to ensure they’re a good fit for their chosen circle. No weapons, alcohol or adult-themed products are permitted on GoodCarts.
