Hand the person the buy link
Page 5 of 8
Every offer carries a buy link, and so does each of its options. The buy link opens this offer in the person's cart and takes them to Groupon's checkout.
When the person has chosen an offer, give them the buy link of the option they chose, unchanged. For one offer that is the whole hand-off: no cart editing. They review the option, quantity and final total on Groupon's checkout and pay there.
- A search result's buy link is for the offer's cheapest option. Read the offer to get each option's own link.
- An offer that cannot be bought now has no buy link. Report the reason and give no link.
- The offer's page link is for a person who wants to read more. It is not the hand-off.
- A link is not a purchase confirmation. Never say the person has bought or reserved anything.
One buy link opens one option of one offer in the cart. For several items, another quantity, or to change or remove something before paying, edit the cart, described next.
