What Do You Want Customers to Experience?

What defines your business? What dish is the one people write home about? What do you offer that is someone’s favorite? What memorable event are you promoting? What makes you, well… you?

With Groupon Merchant, you can choose what to promote, how to promote it, and at what price point. It’s all about how you want people to experience you.

In our platform, you’re not pushing a deal. You’re promoting your business and finding loyal customers.

Your Campaign. Your Way.

It’s your business. You know what sells. You know what customers want. That’s why in addition to our dedicated representatives who are ready to walk you through campaign creation, we also offer our Campaign Manager, a self-service tool that gives you full control over building and managing your campaigns.

When you create your campaign, you have control over:

You’re the expert on your experience. Groupon has the platform to bring it to more people.

Getting the Word Out...To Everyone

Groupon reaches one out of every five web users each month — that’s a lot of eyes you could have on your business. But we have more than a wide net. We have a way of bringing your unique experience to the people who most want to see it.

Easy Way to Redeem Payments

It shouldn’t be complicated to get paid for your services. It’s now easier than ever to redeem payment for Groupons faster, more frequently, and more in full.

Payment comes at the point of voucher redemption. This streamlines invoicing and gives you a clear picture on how you’re getting paid.
