What features help you save money when you shop online?

It’s easier to save money while shopping online when you’re using a web browser that helps you along the way. Microsoft Edge has features that find ways for you to save money, locate the exact items you need, and earn money back while you shop online. Some of the built-in features that can help you save money while shopping are:

Save big with Microsoft Edge built-in coupon finder

Microsoft Edge has a built-in coupon finder that automatically crawls the web for promo codes and coupons. It notifies you with a blue price tag symbol if there are coupons or cash back available.

Microsoft Edge searches for coupons from over 30,000 online retailers. Unlike the codes you might find via browser extensions or coupon sites, these are less likely to be expired and can most often be applied instantly. Plus, Microsoft Edge can check your email for newsletters from your favorite merchants that contain coupon codes, ensuring that you won’t miss a thing.

Use Visual Search to find exactly what you’re looking for

Microsoft Edge Visual Search feature is an excellent tool for finding products that catch your eye. If you see a product that you're interested in, but you don't know what it is or where to find it, you can use Visual Search to locate it quickly. Simply right-click on the image, select Search image with Bing, and the browser will show you search results related to the image.

For example, if you see a pair of shoes in a magazine that you love but can't find them in any stores, take a picture of the shoes and use Visual Search in Microsoft Edge to find similar products online. Use Visual Search or the built-in price comparison tool to compare prices and find the best deal. Visual Search will also show you similar items at different price ranges so that you can get the best bang for your buck when you shop online.

Earn cashback while shopping online

Cashback programs are a great way to earn money back when you shop online. When you sign up for Microsoft Cashback, you can get cash back, rebates, and other rewards from a list of participating retailers and grocery stores. Sign into your Microsoft Rewards account and search with Bing in Microsoft Edge. Look for products that have the Microsoft Cashback shopping tag paired with them. Once you buy qualifying items online, the rebate will be credited to your Microsoft account and later be available in your connected PayPal account.

You can save a significant amount of money when shopping online with Microsoft Edge. Whether you’re buying groceries, electronics, or clothing, these built-in features empower you to find the best deals and earn cashback for your online purchases.
