Overview
Checkmate is a free online shopping platform that delivers personalized deals from brands and centralizes order tracking. It uses a Chrome extension on desktop and an iPhone app on mobile to surface deal recommendations and order updates when shoppers need them, helping users save time and find better prices. The service aggregates promotions and order information across brands and presents it in one place, and it also offers a package-tracking feature so users can monitor deliveries without visiting multiple sites. Its revenue likely comes from affiliate marketing, earning commissions on purchases made through the platform. Compared with competitors, Checkmate combines personalized deal discovery with a unified order-tracking hub in a single, free-to-use product, accessible across desktop and mobile. The goal is to simplify and accelerate online shopping by delivering relevant deals and centralized order information to consumers.
