Groupon Clone in Magento

What is Group on Clone?

Groupon Clone is a web application that simulates the functionality of the popular commercial sites in the group, like Groupon.com and many others. Group buying is a concept based on the collective purchasing power of consumer groups who buy product and get a discount. In such a situation both supplier and customer win without compromising the quality of the service or product. This allows the merchants to advertise their newly released products / services and mass sale of products/ services in local market. Acquisition of the concept has made popular by “Groupon.com.” Groupon Clone is also referred as Daily Deals.

Why to choose Magento for Groupon Site?

If you believe that Groupon is another online store that sells the coupons, why would you need to choose something other than Magento? Magento is a growing e-commerce platform and you’ll never be disappointed with the community of developers. As an extension of Magento available for each element of the Groupon based website, it is a wise decision to choose Magento for developing Groupon based website. As Magento is an open source, it is possible to customize it as per your specific requirements. Even the popular Groupon based website “GoNabIt.com” is also based on Magento.

Let us discuss few points why one should choose Magento over other Groupon Clone alternatives for developing Groupon based website:

  • In Magento, you will get quality and standard Coding with support of large community of Magento Forum and Wiki.
  • In Magento, there is wide range of payment gateways available such as Paypal, Authorize.net, PayPal Express, Moneybookers and so on. Where as in other Groupon alternatives, there are comparatively less options available.
  • Usually the Groupon Alternatives provide script in English Language only. The merchants have to incur extra cost to translate them into other languages, if they want their website in other languages such as French, Spanish etc. However, in Magento there are translations available.

So, if you are really looking for developing Groupon website, then we must recommend Magento.

Extensions for Groupon in Magento
