Google Launches Digital-Coupon Service Zavers

We know your pockets are probably filled with millions of dollars at all times, but there are some people out there who enjoy getting a good deal when they purchase goods or services. There’s nothing like getting something that’s worth, let’s say, $10 dollars, to then have it cut in half to $5 just because of a coupon. But the one pain people have with coupons is actually remembering to use them when the time comes to present it at checkout. Google is launching a new service that will make using coupons an easy and painless ordeal.

Google’s new coupon-focused service is called Zavers and it allows shoppers to use their coupons without needing to remember them at checkout. Shoppers will find manufacturer discounts on a retailer’s website and then save it into their account. Then when they shop for the product, the coupon will automatically be applied at checkout, as long as the shopper provides their rewards card or phone number.

For those who prefer in-store experiences, Zavers has been integrated with Google Wallet. Google Wallet users will just tap their phone at checkout, and, once again, the coupon is applied to the purchase. As of now, it seems Google Wallet integration is the only way to use Zavers in-store, although we’re hoping Google will consider supporting other methods.

Didn’t think there were enough coupon services? Well, Google thinks it can do it right with its new Zavers “digital coupon solution.” The big G claims that its take on discounts and deals allows companies to measure customer habits and coupon usage stats to better target their campaigns. But, what does it mean for shoppers? They can find the coupons relevant to them on specific retailer websites and add them to an online account. When they hit the checkout with a full basket, the discounts are automatically accounted for. Zavers is also integrated with Google Wallet, as long as you use it to pay for items in-store. We’re not sure exactly how this will work yet, but we’ll just have to wait until Zavers is properly up and running.

Isis Mobile Wallet app for Android surfaces in Google Play, you probably can’t run it

Isis Mobile Wallet app for Android surfaces in Google Play, you probably can't run it

Unofficial rumblings have pointed to Isis Mobile Wallet’s trial getting close. If you’ve remained skeptical all the same, we’re pretty sure that seeing Isis’ Android app in Google Play will change your mind. The currently T-Mobile-only software confirms that pilot program members will tie their American Express, Capital One or Chase card (as well as a unique card) to Isis for paying through NFC at stores with a SmartTap terminal. We’re also promised streamlined loyalty cards and coupons. Before anyone rushes to try the app at the local shop, remember that it’s just one piece of the puzzle on top of the special SIM card, one of three NFC-equipped phones and that small matter of living in Austin or Salt Lake City when the service goes live. Having the official app at least lets those who qualify get a head start on what could soon be the only major alternative to Google Wallet in the US.
