Rate widget for your site

Live example

How it works

1. Choose the store you want to show.
2. Copy the HTML from the widget builder.
3. Paste it into an HTML block on your page, then open the published page to check it.

Shopping portals pay you cashback, miles, or points for starting your purchase on their sites. The card names the portal and shows when we last checked its rate.

The card loads rates when someone opens your page. It hides the numbers when we can no longer confirm their freshness.

Using the widget

You're welcome to use the card on your site. It shows rates we read from shopping portals, with the portal named and the unit shown beside each number.

Keep the “Rates via CheckBeforeYouShop.com” line visible and unchanged. It links readers to the store page so they can compare rates and read the details.

If a store is no longer available, the source link leads to the widget builder so you can choose another store.

The card shows one earn rate for most stores. GiftCards.com can show a separate rate for each card type. One-time bonuses stay separate on the store page.

Rates can change after we check them. Readers should confirm the rate and exclusions on the shopping portal before buying.

Setup and troubleshooting

Paste the full snippet into a block that accepts HTML and scripts. Check the published page, since some editors don't run scripts in their preview.

If only the source link appears, your editor or site may be blocking scripts. Ask your site administrator whether it allows the widget.

The card follows the reader's light or dark setting. Use the theme selector if your site always uses one theme.

The snippet reserves space for the card. If it can't load, the source link stays and you may see an empty space above it.

If your site uses a content security policy, your administrator needs to allow scripts from checkbeforeyoushop.com and the snippet's styles.

Privacy

The installed card uses no cookies, browser storage, tracking pixels, or third-party analytics. The widget log stores the referring site's normalized hostname, the store, first and last observation times, and observation counts.

Daily observation totals expire after 90 days, and hostname and store records expire 24 months after the last observation. We remove expired records in our daily cleanup. We don't store the referring page's path or query in the widget log.

The widget log records only normal or stale widget requests that reach our server and include a usable external referrer. Requests served from our cache, requests without that referrer, and other widget states aren't recorded, so the log doesn't count every site or view.

This page follows our privacy policy.

Asking us to remove a portal's rates

Portal names identify whose rates the card shows. If you represent a shopping portal and want its rates removed from the widget, email hello@checkbeforeyoushop.com with the portal name and your request. I'll review it and reply.

To remove the widget from your own site, delete the snippet from your page.

Versions and changes

Version 1 loads new rates without replacing your snippet. This page lists changes to the card.

If the widget can't load, its source link stays on your page.
