How Groupon works:

I advise you to proceed by indicating your email address in the appropriate text field on the screen and confirming the email address by pressing the button Continue.
You will now have to proceed to complete the registration of your account and you can do it via the button Subscribe which you can view in the top bar of the website.

To view other categories you can instead refer to the menu at the top. Right now you are in Home, but you can also click on the items Near you, Shopping, Travel or on Events to see more coupons.
On a practical level, the operation of Groupon is very simple: on the basis of the city you indicated during the registration phase, you can see a series of goods or services to be purchased, each of them suitably divided into one of the categories just indicated. You can also carry out a manual search using the search engine above, through which you can indicate the physical product or service you are looking for as well as the geographical position in which you want to use it.
Often used to purchase products, Groupon is actually quite known for its coupon-based services, which translates into the ability to purchase goods and services at discounted prices. However, keep in mind that some of the purchased coupons, which refer to a service, have an expiration date and can also be used only on set days or hours. The purchased coupon can be printed at home and delivered to the facility to which it refers.
In recent years, Groupon has expanded its catalog of services offered, also presenting the section Travel which allows you to evaluate the purchase of a trip at partner accommodation facilities, thus obtaining the opportunity to take advantage of a holiday at a discounted price, following the purchase of the coupon.
Once you have identified the good or service that is right for you, you can click on it to view more details: many coupons have more options and therefore price variations are also offered for the possible addition of products or services. Then select the option you want to purchase and click the button Buy to buy it. At this point, to proceed with the payment, you will need to enter a valid payment method. The credit cards and also payments via PayPal. If you have a discount code, click on the item Promo code to insert it in the text field of the same name and then press on Apply. To confirm the payment, press the button instead Confirm order.
Following the purchase you will receive an email confirming that the payment has been made and, in the case of the purchase of services, you will also find a button that will refer you to the section My account, through which you can print the purchased voucher.
To return to shopping on Groupon at a later time you will need to go to its official website again and, if you have been disconnected, log in again. You can do it very simply by clicking on the button Login that you find in the bar at the top. Once you have indicated your email and password you will then have to press the button Log in.
