Agentis Solution
Stop Coupon Aggregators From Turning Your Welcome Code Into a Loss
When a single-use code gets scraped by a coupon-aggregator extension and shared publicly, Agentis still checks every resulting order against your profit floor and flags or holds the losers before they ship.
The Problem
Coupon aggregator browser extensions surface active discount codes at checkout automatically, and once a code becomes visible to one of these tools it effectively becomes public. A welcome code meant for one first-time customer can end up applied on thousands of orders it was never priced for. Standard Shopify discount rules have no way to tell a legitimate single use from an aggregator-driven one: the code is valid, so it applies.
How Agentis Solves It
Agentis does not detect or block browser extensions; that is a different problem from the one it solves. What it does is check the order that results once a code is applied: current COGS, freight to that zone, payment fees, FX, and the discount itself, together, within 60 seconds of the order being placed. If the order falls below your configured profit floor, Agentis flags it or holds it before fulfillment, regardless of how the code was found. The leaked code still gets used; the below-floor order doesn't ship unnoticed. And because every held order names the code that caused it, you can see quickly when a code has leaked and retire it in Shopify.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Agentis block the Honey extension or similar coupon aggregators?
No. Agentis does not detect or block browser extensions; that would require client-side detection outside its scope. Instead, it checks the order that results after any code is applied, from any source, and flags or holds it before fulfillment if the real margin falls below your floor. The check considers current COGS, freight to the destination zone, payment fees, FX, and the discount itself, within 60 seconds of the order being placed. Because the decision rests on the order's economics rather than the code's origin, a new aggregator tool does not need a new rule and there is no blacklist of extensions or domains to maintain. Floors are configurable per SKU category or promo type, so a welcome code can carry a different floor than a seasonal promotion. The question shifts from how a code was found to whether the order it produced is profitable.
Will this stop my welcome code from leaking to a coupon site in the first place?
No tool can fully prevent a code from being shared once a customer has it. Agentis addresses the financial consequence instead: whatever volume a leaked code drives, the orders that fall below your profit floor are flagged or held before they ship. Once a code is visible to a coupon aggregator extension, it is effectively public, and a code meant for one first-time customer can be applied on thousands of orders it was never priced for. Standard Shopify discount rules cannot distinguish a legitimate single use from an aggregator-driven one, because the code is valid either way. Agentis evaluates each resulting order on current COGS, freight, fees, FX, and the discount, and the code-level view shows when one code starts producing an unusual number of held orders, which is your signal to retire it in Shopify. Set the floor per promo type so your welcome offer stays priced for the customer it was meant for.
Does this require me to change how I create discount codes?
No. Agentis evaluates orders after Shopify has applied your existing discount logic, so your current code setup stays as it is. Shopify resolves whichever codes and automatic discounts apply at checkout; once the order is placed, Agentis checks it against your profit floor using current COGS, freight to that zone, payment fees, and FX, within 60 seconds. Because the check works on order economics rather than code structure, your single-use codes, welcome codes, and campaign codes need no changes, and there are no storefront or checkout changes either. What you do configure is the floor itself, per SKU category or promo type, and whether a breach is flagged or held before fulfillment. This separation is deliberate: marketing stays free to design offers while finance defines the boundary those offers cannot cross without review.

Key Concepts
Margin Analysis
Coupon Stacking
The practice, by customers or unintentionally permitted by checkout configuration, of applying multiple discount codes to a single order, typically dropping margin below intended thresholds.
Profit Governance
Promo Abuse
When customers exploit coupon codes, referral programs, or promotional mechanics beyond their intended use, generating orders that erode margin through illegitimate discounting.
Margin Analysis
Discount Stacking
When multiple discounts, such as a site-wide sale, a coupon code, and a loyalty reward, combine on a single order, compounding margin loss beyond what any individual promotion intended.
