Checkmate

Checkmate is a browser extension and app that helps users find the best deals from across the web and applies them at checkout. The extension can also help users track package shipments through a dashboard and store gift cards in a digital wallet. The extension also allows users to find and apply personalized deals across product categories such as consumer electronics, home products, beauty and health, and sports.

Checkmate was founded in 2020 by Rory Garton-Smith, Harry Dixon, and Elliot Rampono with the goal of improving the end-to-end online shopping experience by making it more personalized and simplifying it.

The Checkmate browser extension helps users save money by collecting the emails sent by online retailers for deals and automatically applying discount codes and coupons when they are at checkout. The extension supports over 10,000 online stores and is free to use. Further, the extension allows users to track packages through the extensions dashboard and offers a wallet where users can store and use gift cards.

For brands, Checkmate functions as a conversion engine that can help businesses attract targeted audiences. During a Checkmate testing period, users were found to engage with Checkmate at least three times a week and saved more than 27 percent on average when purchasing versus the estimated 15 percent saved with traditional savings apps. Checkmate offers its platform as a chance for companies to market personally to a target audience and to deepen relationships with customers.

Checkmate offers an app for Apple's iOS, and it works similarly to the browser extension and applies discount codes automatically. The app finds codes online, extracts codes from email, and uses codes offered by brands to help users save money when shopping online. The app also offers live order updates, package tracking, and notifications of new sales.
