Dear friends! The second quarter has not ended yet but we have already accumulated a fair amount of the news we’d like to share with you. Our team continue working from their homes and developing the products that are of great use during the forced self-isolation and realities of a new world.
Megabonus search has become even smarter
In May we updated our search engine. The new Megabonus search string easily searches through not only stores with cash back, but also products with cash back. In case you do not know which store the item you need is sold in, just type the product’s name in the search bar. You will see the list of the stores selling the product.
You can search using the product characteristics or the brand name. Smart search from Megabonus will show you both the offers of the product with cash back and the stores where it’s in stock, or the store of the brand you are searching for.
Created a checklist for travelers
We added a special checklist for the users that are planning their long-awaited trips already now. It will help the travelers to prepare for the journey and take everything they might need when on a trip. The checklist can be obtained after the sign-up in the “Megabonus Travel” service.
Special labels will help you decide what to put in a suitcase, and what to take with you on board as hand luggage. We also left some empty lines so that the travelers could add the personal items they need to the list.
Change of the AliExpress Terms
Important news for active users of the AliExpress store! The store changed its policy regarding extensions and since June 8 it has banned embedded blocks, notifications, and notifications in the extension.
Now, to activate cash back, you need to click the “Megabonus” extension icon. Inside the window that opens, click the “Activate cash back” button.
Some built-in tools will disappear from our extension on AliExpress: the display of the cash back amount in the product card and the “Seller Reliability” block.
The “Track the package” button on the “My Orders” page and the pop-up notification on AliExpress with the help of which we reminded you to activate cash back will also become inaccessible.
We converted the affiliated products’ check and added a special indication. Now, simple and comprehensible extension icons will tell you what is going on and what products are in front of you:
Cash back is not available in the store
Cash back not activated
Cash back activated
A non-affiliated product
The cash back activation through the Megabonus website and the mobile applications for iOS and Android will work normally.
Growth in the number of orders!
Our sales statistics are rising. After the end of the non-working days, a gradual recovery in customer activity in the Russian Federation began. The number of orders placed by the users through the Megabonus cash back service in the stores around the world increased by 7%. In the same timeframe, in Russia, the number of orders with cash back increased by 21%. And the number of active users from Russia increased by 10%.
People began to order more products from abroad. In May 2020, the quantity of the tracking numbers tracked with the Megabonus Parcel Tracking service increased by 39%.
The category “Electronics” was the leader in the number of orders. The number of orders in it increased by 79%. The number of orders in the Fashion and Style category increased by 29%. An interesting fact: in May, the number of orders in the Travel and Tourism category increased by 19%. This is encouraging. Despite the pandemic, people are looking forward to the end of the restrictions and are ready to go on a trip.
We wish you the most pleasant summer and the smartest purchases with Megabonus!
Your Megabonus team
