  • Buy-it-again Features – New functionality that makes it easier for customers to repeat purchase, including building awareness of new, restriction-free Deals as well as new Offers inventory

“Our customers told us they wanted a more curated, relevant experience, and these changes make it easier for them to find exactly what they’re looking for when they come to Groupon––while continuing to inspire them to try something new,” said John Higginson, Chief Technology Officer at Groupon. “These are some of the most visible changes we’ve ever made, and we’re excited about our potential to drive customer purchase frequency higher and attract new consumers to the Groupon platform. We expect our reimagined user experience to benefit both our customers and merchants.”
