The Guide to Buying Happy Online

Everyday millions of people around the world spend time and money shopping online, 370 million hours and $1.5 trillion respectively, more often than not they’re leaving money on the table. In fact, 80% population who shop online overpay 19% on average per transaction. This is shocking since when asked what their top motivational factor was for buying online, 72% said price. 

We all try to do our due diligence and compare prices before we finally decide to checkout. However, this process can be time consuming with an average of 10.4 pieces of information being viewed before making a purchase. 

The process to find the best prices shouldn’t be this hard, thats why sites like Coupons.com, RetailMeNot, Groupon, and Livingsocial exist. However, you always end up jumping from one to the other to make sure you have the best deal possible, that’s where apps like BuyHappy come in. When you have the browser app installed, you just shop like you normally do, BuyHappy searches for the best prices, and lets you know if you have the best price or where you can get it for less. It’s that simple.

Now the science to saving online hasn’t been perfected, but whatever your method, we hope you buy happy!
