Question 1

What is DealQube?

Accepted Answer

DealQube is a deal discovery platform. We collect real discounts, coupons and offers from trusted stores and marketplaces, match them to your region, and link you straight to the merchant to buy. We never sell anything ourselves — the purchase always happens on the merchant's site.

Question 2

Is DealQube free to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes, completely. Browsing deals, price history, coupons and deal alerts are all free. We earn affiliate commissions from merchants when you buy through our links — at no extra cost to you — plus clearly-labeled sponsored placements.

Question 3

Do I need an account?

Accepted Answer

No. Everything on DealQube works without an account — browsing, searching, favorites (stored locally in your browser) and deal-alert subscriptions by email. Merchant partners get portal accounts to manage their store's data.

Question 4

How do I save deals I like?

Accepted Answer

Click the heart icon on any deal card. Favorites are stored in your browser (not our servers), so they stay on this device. The Favorites page in the header gathers them in one place.

Question 5

What are deal alerts?

Accepted Answer

Weekly or daily emails with the best new deals in your region — optionally narrowed to one category. Subscribe from the footer or any product page, confirm via the email we send you, and unsubscribe any time with one click.

Question 6

Where do the deals come from?

Accepted Answer

From official merchant feeds, affiliate networks and APIs — the channels stores provide for exactly this purpose. We never scrape sites against their terms, and we never invent offers.

Question 7

Are the prices and discounts real?

Accepted Answer

Discount percentages are computed from the current price versus the merchant-provided original price — no rounding up, no invented 'was' prices. Every price you see is what the merchant's feed said at the last sync.

Question 8

Why did the price change when I clicked through?

Accepted Answer

Feeds sync periodically, so prices can move between our last sync and your click. The merchant's page is always the source of truth at checkout. If a price looks stale, tell us via the contact page and we'll re-sync.

Question 9

What does 'price history' show?

Accepted Answer

Only prices actually observed by DealQube — recorded by feed syncs, verified merchant updates and admin edits. The chart never interpolates or invents points, and the 'lowest price' badge means the lowest price we actually recorded in the window.

Question 10

What does 'Trending' mean?

Accepted Answer

Trending ranks deals by clicks DealQube actually recorded in the last 7 days. If nothing has enough clicks yet, the section says so honestly — we never fake popularity.

Question 11

Why do some deals show an end date and others don't?

Accepted Answer

We show expiry dates only when the merchant provides them. No countdown timers, no fake urgency — if we don't know when a deal ends, we don't pretend to.

Question 12

Why does DealQube ask for my region?

Accepted Answer

Prices, currencies, stores and even product availability differ per country. Choosing your region means you see offers you can actually buy, in your currency — no converted guesses.

Question 13

How do I switch regions?

Accepted Answer

Use the region selector in the header, any time. Your choice is remembered in a small cookie, and every page — listings, search, price history — instantly re-scopes to the new region.

Question 14

Do you convert prices between currencies?

Accepted Answer

Never. A deal in US dollars is shown in US dollars; a deal in pounds, in pounds. Each regional deal has its own price set by the merchant for that market. If a product isn't offered in your region, we say so.

Question 15

What does the 'Sponsored' badge mean?

Accepted Answer

Merchants can pay for clearly-labeled placements — a banner or a marked slot in a deals grid. The badge is always visible; you'll never mistake an ad for an editorial pick. See our affiliate disclosure for the full model.

Question 16

Does money affect which deals appear?

Accepted Answer

No. Ranking in every non-sponsored list is driven by real data: discount size, recency, genuine clicks. Sponsored placements are separate, paid, and labeled. Commissions never decide what counts as a deal.

Question 17

Do sponsored links cost me anything?

Accepted Answer

No. Affiliate links and sponsored placements cost you nothing — the merchant pays us a small commission when you buy. Your price is the same either way.

Question 18

How can my store's deals appear on DealQube?

Accepted Answer

Provide a product feed (API, CSV, XML or JSON) through an affiliate network or directly. Our sync engine imports, normalizes and keeps your deals current — you keep full control in the merchant portal.

Question 19

What can I do in the merchant portal?

Accepted Answer

See your live deals, coupons and sponsored campaigns with real performance numbers, and submit change requests — price updates and new coupons — that our team reviews before publishing.

Question 20

How fast are change requests reviewed?

Accepted Answer

We review requests as quickly as we can — typically within one business day. When a decision is made, you'll see it (with any notes) in your request timeline, and get an email if notifications are configured.

Question 21

How do sponsored campaigns work?

Accepted Answer

Choose a placement, target regions, and a schedule; pay for the flight. Impressions and clicks are tracked with the same honest counters used everywhere else, and you see views, clicks and CTR in your portal.
