Chrome users run PayPal Honey, one of many extensions that try codes in the discount box.

The story

Here's what happens in your WooCommerce checkout.

  1. 1

    A shopper reaches your checkout.

    They came from your ad, your email or a creator you sponsor. They fill a basket and find the coupon box.

    35%

    of stores with a promo field show it by default. In Baymard's testing, some shoppers left checkout to hunt for a code.

  2. 2

    An extension tries the codes it collected.

    Honey, Capital One Shopping and others can pop up on your store and type collected codes into the coupon box.

    5M+

    Microsoft Edge users run Capital One Shopping, before you count Chrome.

  3. 3

    A private code reaches another shopper.

    Extensions collect codes as shoppers type them. A December 2025 investigation alleged Honey gathered staff, VIP, influencer and newsletter codes this way and published them for everyone.

  4. 4

    The order report doesn't tell the whole story.

    WooCommerce records the order's referrer, but its order attribution doesn't identify coupon extensions. A code and commission can cost you margin on the same sale.

What most teams try

  • You could delete the code. Today's leak stops. The people you made it for find it broken, and the replacement can spread the same way.
  • You could make every code single-use. Each shopper needs their own code, and a creator can't share one code with their audience.

Or control the extension session.

Benson hides selected pop-ups across your store and checkout. WooCommerce checks codes against your allowlist in detected extension sessions. A holdout keeps a slice unprotected, so you can compare revenue per session.

Sound familiar?

Three ways extensions cost a WooCommerce store.

  1. The problem

    Pop-ups on your checkout.

    A coupon or cashback extension can appear over the checkout you built and try its codes in your discount box.

    The fix

    Hide them by rule.

    Benson runs on every page, including checkout. Choose where to hide coupon and cashback pop-ups by page type, country or device.

    Sample store

  2. The problem

    Private codes, tried for strangers.

    Staff, VIP and creator codes can turn up in extensions and get tried on orders they were never for.

    The fix

    WooCommerce checks your allowlist.

    With strict rules on, WooCommerce asks Benson about codes in detected extension sessions and rejects those off your allowlist with your message. Shoppers without an extension aren't affected.

    Sample store

  3. The problem

    Extension orders look like any other.

    Your order reports show the sale, but leave you without a clear comparison of shoppers with and without an extension.

    The fix

    See the orders, then test protection.

    The plugin links orders to extension sessions when consent allows. Compare revenue, conversion and discount depth, then use a holdout to measure revenue per session.

    Sample store

A code entered before Benson detects an extension, or when cookies are refused, is judged by WooCommerce alone. Orders without consent aren't linked to a session. Illustrations use sample data.
