Honey: Then the coupon browser extension is worth it

The "Honey" browser extension is currently attracting attention with a large-scale promotion. In this practical tip, we explain whether the service is also useful for German shops.

Short and compact: This is how Honey works

The "Honey" extension is quickly installed in the browser and ready for use.

1. Visit the Honey website or download the extension free of charge from your browser's plug-in shop.
2. After Honey is downloaded, you may have to restart the browser for the extension to activate.
3. Now visit your desired shop and load the desired products into your shopping cart.
4. Click on the honey icon in the top corner of your browser and the program will scan all available codes and apply the best codes for you.
5. The extension is refinanced by creating its own codes in consultation with the shop operators and receiving commission for sales. However, this does not involve higher costs for you.

Test: is honey also relevant for Germany?

We have tested for you whether Honey works in the largest German online shops.

• With the top dogs "Amazon" and "Zalando" you will see several discount codes at Honey, but these are limited to different product categories.
• In terms of volume, the German Amazon site, for example, is clearly behind the American shop: 4 codes were found on the German Amazon, whereas more than 50 codes were found on the American page.
• At the second largest German shop "Otto" no codes could be used.
• We were also unable to apply codes to the popular "Lidl" or "Tchibo" shops.
• This is different for websites that are either from America or are also very popular there. With "Nike", "Ikea" or "H&M" we were shown several codes that you can use.
• For technology fans, on the other hand, the expansion is disappointing. Neither "Media Market", "Conrad" nor "Notebook Cheaper" seem to offer codes for Honey.
• Conclusion : Honey has so far been very limited for German web shops. There are few or no codes available that are not applicable to all product categories.
• For international shops, however, the extension can be helpful because it is very easy to use and is also free of charge.
• However, due to the fact that the extension is free of charge and will probably also offer more codes in Germany in the future, we can make a recommendation.
