KeepCart vs Agentis: Coupon-Leak Blocking vs Per-Order Margin Enforcement
Comparing KeepCart and Agentis? They guard different moments of the same order. KeepCart acts in checkout: it blocks 125+ coupon browser extensions (Honey, Rakuten, Coupert, RetailMeNot, and more) from injecting codes your customers were never given, and alerts you when your codes leak onto coupon-aggregator sites. Agentis acts after the order is placed and before it ships: it reads the order that actually came through, discount codes, shipping, COGS, fees, and FX included, and flags or holds the ones that fall below your profit floor. KeepCart decides which codes reach checkout; Agentis checks whether the resulting order is worth fulfilling as-is. They are complementary.

Why Merchants Look for KeepCart Alternatives
KeepCart focuses on blocking coupon-extension leaks and tracking where discount codes surface across the web. That works well for shopify merchants losing margin to coupon browser extensions applying unauthorized codes at checkout, but it leaves gaps that matter for high-volume Shopify Plus operations:
- Blocks unauthorized discount-code injection; it has no COGS, freight, or FX awareness and cannot evaluate whether an order is profitable
- No per-order margin floor: a code KeepCart correctly allows through can still combine with other discounts to ship an order below cost
- No NetSuite or ERP integration for live cost data
- Solves code-leak exposure, not order-level profitability
Agentis covers a job KeepCart is not built for: checking each real order's true net margin after it is placed and before it ships. Within 60 seconds of every order, Agentis computes net margin from live NetSuite COGS, freight, fees, and FX, then flags the order or holds it before fulfillment under rules you approve, and logs the decision to an Evidence Ledger. It is often used alongside KeepCart, not instead of it.
Other KeepCart Alternatives to Consider
Depending on your primary need, these tools may also be relevant alternatives to KeepCart. None of them computes true net margin on each order and holds the below-margin ones before fulfillment, which is the gap Agentis fills.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is KeepCart the same as Agentis?
No. KeepCart blocks unauthorized coupon-extension injections (Honey, Rakuten, and 125+ others) at checkout and alerts you when your codes leak onto coupon sites. Agentis works after the order is placed: it computes the full economics of every order, COGS, freight, fees, FX, and discounts included, within 60 seconds, and flags or holds orders that fall below your profit floor before they ship. One controls which codes are allowed in; the other checks whether the resulting order is profitable. KeepCart's strengths are blocking pop-ups from 125+ coupon browser extensions at checkout, leak alerts when your discount codes surface across 100+ coupon sites, duplicate-customer detection to stop one-time codes being reused across accounts, and protected links so a code only activates through an authorized path. Its limitations are that it has no COGS, freight, or FX awareness, no NetSuite or ERP integration, and no per-order margin floor. Decide whether the problem is codes reaching checkout that never should have, or legitimate codes stacking into unprofitable orders.
Should I use KeepCart or Agentis?
They solve different problems, and a merchant can easily have both. Use KeepCart if coupon browser extensions are auto-applying codes you never issued. Use Agentis if you need to catch orders that, after whatever legitimate discounts applied, fall below your margin floor, so they can be flagged or held before they ship. KeepCart stops unauthorized codes from reaching checkout; Agentis catches authorized-but-stacked discounts that would ship an order at a loss. KeepCart's duplicate-customer detection and protected links add control over how legitimate codes are used, while leak alerts show where codes are surfacing across coupon sites. None of that involves cost data, so KeepCart cannot tell whether an order it has cleaned of unauthorized codes is still profitable. Agentis, for its part, does not block coupon extensions or monitor code leakage. Start with the problem that is visibly costing you: unwanted codes appearing at checkout points to KeepCart, orders shipping at a loss after legitimate discounts points to Agentis.
Does KeepCart check order-level profit margin?
No. KeepCart has no COGS, freight, or FX awareness and does not evaluate order profitability. It is focused specifically on preventing unauthorized coupon-extension codes from applying at checkout. Agentis is the layer that checks whether the final order, whatever discounts legitimately applied, is still profitable. KeepCart's scope is code control: blocking 125+ coupon browser extensions, alerting on leaks across coupon sites, detecting duplicate customers, and gating codes behind protected links. Because it has no NetSuite or ERP integration, it cannot compute margin even in principle; there is no cost data in the system to compute it from. A code KeepCart correctly allows through can still combine with other discounts to ship an order below cost. Merchants should not read a clean code list as a profitable order; those are separate checks.
Can KeepCart and Agentis run together?
Yes. KeepCart filters out unauthorized discount codes before they reach checkout; Agentis checks the order that results from whatever legitimate discounts remain, after it is placed and before it ships, against your profit floor. The order of operations is straightforward: KeepCart's blocking and protected links decide which codes are allowed in during checkout, then Agentis computes the placed order's net margin, with COGS, freight, fees, FX, and discounts included, and flags or holds it if it falls below the floor. Neither tool duplicates the other, since KeepCart has no cost awareness and Agentis does not block coupon extensions or monitor code leaks. KeepCart also offers leak alerts and duplicate-customer detection that operate independently of anything at checkout. Merchants with heavy coupon-extension traffic and active stacked promotions are the profile that benefits from both. If only one problem is present, start there.
