Frequently asked questions
Coupons and Vouchers
Groupon is an American Company that sells coupons and vouchers for things such as activities, travel, apparel, and services in various countries. These deals are available for a limited time and cover various categories, including restaurants, retail, health and beauty services, and more. The company is active in well over 500 different cities and locations across the world, with a primary focus on North America, Europe, and parts of Asia. Groupon is headquartered in Chicago, Illinois and its shares are listed on the Nasdaq.
Windy City Coupons
Groupon was founded in 2008, and started as a side project of a company called The Point, a website for collective action.

Commissions
Groupon generates revenue primarily by acting as an intermediary between customers and businesses, in a similar fashion to how Amazon and eBay make money off its platforms. When a customer purchases a deal, Groupon collects a portion of the sale. This commission is a primary source of their income, and Groupon charges for marketing and selling the businesses' offers on its platform.
