Your first two weeks: see before you stop

Watch what extensions do on your store before you change anything.

Why it matters

Coupon extensions cost you twice: the discount they apply and the commission they claim. You can't tell which ones matter until you've seen them on your own traffic. A fortnight of observing gives you a baseline, so every change after it can be measured.

Who it's for

Every new store. Start here if you installed Benson in the last fortnight.

The steps

  1. Step 1: Install Benson and verify it

    Benson needs to run on every page of your store. Verification confirms it's live.

    In Benson: Check your install

  2. Step 2: Watch Benson catch a test pop-up

    A test visit opens your store with a simulated coupon pop-up only you can see. You see exactly what Benson spots and hides.

    In Benson: Run the test

  3. Step 3: Turn on observe mode

    Observe mode records what Benson would hide, without hiding anything. It's free on every plan.

  4. Step 4: Wait for real extension traffic

    Real shoppers bring real extensions. On a small store this can take a day or two.

    In Benson: Watch live

  5. Step 5: Read your extensions report

    See which extensions your shoppers run, how often, and how their orders compare with everyone else's.
