What is Shop & Save?

Shop & Save is a partnership with social enterprise Kindred. It allows you to save money in a simple way when shopping on your mobile browser with more than 40,000 coupons and codes daily across thousands of top brands – all at no cost to you. Kindred’s technology works as a browser extension and only requires setting up once.  Once the feature is activated you will receive discount codes and coupons that will pop up or automatically surface whilst you are shopping your favourite brands.  Our unique Earthmark feature even indicate how sustainable your favourite brands are. In addition to your own savings when you make an online purchase using Kindred, a small commission is taken from the merchant, at no cost to you! This commission will be reinvested into improving our apps for our users, and a proportion will be donated to environmental projects. As a social enterprise, Kindred also donates a proportion of their profits to charitable causes. Save money, save the planet – shopping deals that don’t cost the earth!

How do I activate the feature?

All you need to do is go to your Mapway app, navigate to the side menu and select “Shop & Save”, select the Activate Now button and follow the steps to activate. Please note this is currently only in the iOS versions of our Tube Map, New York Subway and Bus Times London apps.  Please ensure you have the latest version of the app and the latest version of Apple’s iOS. It only works on version 15 or higher.

Who can use it?

Anyone using the Safari browser on their iPhone who has activated the feature.

How are discounts applied?

When a user is shopping, where possible, Kindred will automatically apply the coupon code, or the option to copy the coupon code is available and all you need to do is paste it in your basket on checkout.

Why does the extension say that discounts are being loaded, but nothing happens until checkout?

We understand that it can be frustrating when you expect to see available discounts immediately after activating our browser extension. Here’s an explanation of the process and flow:
  1. Activation: When you activate our extension, it starts searching for relevant coupons and deals for the brands and products in your current browsing session.
  2. Coupon Availability: Our extension strives to provide you with the best and most up-to-date coupons. However, it’s important to note that we may not always have a coupon available for every brand or product. There are several reasons for this, such as exclusive or limited-time offers, product-specific promotions, or the absence of ongoing deals for certain items.
  3. Loading Time: After the extension begins searching for discounts, it may take a few moments to find and load the available coupons. During this time, you may see a message indicating that the discounts are being loaded.
  4. Checkout Process: The loaded coupons and deals will become visible and applicable when you reach the checkout page of the respective online store. At that point, you’ll be able to see the available discounts and choose the ones that apply to your purchase.
We strive to continuously improve the coupon availability and loading speed of our extension to provide you with the best possible shopping experience. We appreciate your patience and understanding in cases where coupons may not be available or are delayed until the checkout process.

How do you source coupons for popular brands that are not already available?

We prioritise partner-based optimisations to enhance the coupon availability for our users. Through this approach, we identify the most popular brands being searched by our partners’ users and proactively aim to source relevant coupons for those brands if they are not already in our database. By closely monitoring the search trends and preferences of our partner’s users, we can identify the brands that are in high demand. Our dedicated team then works diligently to acquire exclusive coupons and secure deals specifically for those popular brands. This ensures that our users have access to a wider range of discounts, even if they were not initially available through our extension. We are constantly striving to expand our network of partnerships and optimise our coupon sourcing process to deliver the best possible savings opportunities to our users.

Do you track my shopping habits and store personal data?

We do not collect any personal user data.

What if I can find better discounts online?

It’s possible that you may find a better discount online but it’s important to remember that by shopping through Shop & Save, you will receive a saving and be donating to environmental projects via Mapway and our partner Kindred, no matter if you are using a discount from Shop & Save or one found online.
