How to Use The Deals Store as Both a Buyer and a Store
One account, two ways to save and promote.
The Deals Store is designed to be more than just another deals website. Whether you're looking for the best discounts online or you're a business wanting to promote your own offers, you can do both from a single account.
As a registered user, you can switch between your Buyer Profile and your Store Profile whenever you need. This gives you the flexibility to discover, share, recommend, review, and publish deals from one place.
Your Buyer Profile
Your Buyer Profile is designed for shoppers who enjoy finding and sharing great offers.
As a buyer, you can:
- Share deals you discover online with the community.
- Recommend deals that you think other shoppers should see.
- Review deals after purchasing a product or service.
- Build a personal collection of the deals you've shared.
You can create a buyer account in seconds by signing in with your Google account, making it quick and easy to start contributing to the community.
Every deal you share as a buyer is stored in your Buyer Profile, making it easy to keep track of your recommendations.
Your Store Profile
If you own or manage a business, you can also create a Store Profile using the same account.
Your Store Profile allows you to:
- List your own products, services, and promotions.
- Publish limited-time discounts and special offers.
- Build a dedicated page showcasing your business and all of your current deals.
- Reach shoppers actively looking for genuine savings.
Unlike shared deals, every deal published through your Store Profile is associated directly with your business.
Why Store Verification Matters
To protect shoppers and ensure businesses are genuine, creating a verified store requires more than simply signing in with Google.
To create and verify a store, you must register using a company email address that matches your website's domain.
For example:
- info@yourstore.co.uk can verify yourstore.co.uk
- sales@company.com can verify company.com
This verification helps prevent impersonation and gives shoppers confidence that deals are published by the business itself.
Publish Deals Instantly as a Verified Store
Verified stores receive an important advantage.
Once your store has been verified, your deals can be published immediately without waiting for moderation. This allows businesses to promote flash sales, seasonal offers, and limited-time discounts as soon as they are available.
Listed Deals vs Shared Deals
The Deals Store clearly distinguishes between offers published by businesses and deals shared by the community.
Listed Deals
Deals that link to your store's website domain are displayed as Listed Deals. These represent offers published directly by your verified business and appear in your Store Profile.
Shared or Recommended Deals
If a deal links to any other website, it is displayed as a Shared Deal or Recommended Deal. These are community contributions and are listed in your Buyer Profile.
This distinction makes it easy for shoppers to understand whether a deal comes directly from a business or has been shared by another member of the community.
One Account, Two Powerful Profiles
With The Deals Store, there's no need to create separate accounts for shopping and promoting your business.
You can:
- Use your Buyer Profile to discover, share, recommend, and review deals.
- Use your Store Profile to promote your own products and services.
- Manage everything from a single login.
- Build trust through verified business listings.
Whether you're an everyday shopper helping others save money or a business looking to reach more customers, The Deals Store gives you the tools to do both from one convenient account.
