OUR DEAL STANDARDS

How SSD selects deals

SSD combines meaningful savings with product relevance and current offer information. These signals help prioritize deals; they do not guarantee that a product is right for every shopper.

The core signals

VALUEPrice and usefulness

SSD looks for products whose price, features and everyday usefulness may offer shoppers good value.

20%+Meaningful discount

Deals generally begin at 20% off a verifiable regular or recent price.

FITProduct relevance

Products are organized by category and product type so shoppers can compare relevant options.

SSDConfidence Score

An internal signal that summarizes deal strength and available supporting information.

What contributes to SSD Confidence

  • Discount size and estimated dollar savings
  • Price and overall value for the product type
  • Product relevance within its category and subcategory
  • Offer freshness, availability and retailer information
  • Other permitted information that helps assess deal strength

Relevant comparisons

“More deals like this” recommendations stay within the same product type. A shopper viewing shoes should see other shoe deals—not unrelated products from another department.

Important limitations

Retailer information can change quickly. SSD may not receive every signal for every product, and the Confidence Score is guidance rather than a promise of quality, availability or future pricing. Always confirm the final price and terms with the retailer.
