What Karma does

Karma Shopping Ltd. is a Tel Aviv-headquartered, privately-held consumer technology company that operates an AI-powered shopping assistant delivered through a free browser extension (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari) and mobile apps (iOS, Android). The product targets individual online shoppers and combines three core capabilities: automatic coupon-code testing and application at checkout across 100,000+ stores, unlimited product price tracking with 24-hour price-drop alerts and 90-day price history, and a Coins-based cashback rewards program (1,000 Coins = US$1.00, redeemable via PayPal or gift cards above a 30,000-Coin threshold). Karma claims 6.5 million users, 20,000+ retailer partnerships (including Nordstrom, Amazon, ASOS, Apple, SSENSE, Farfetch, Macy's, Target, and Nike), $260 million+ in cumulative user savings, an average $482 in annual user savings, and $126 in average cashback per user.

Underlying technology centers on a coupon-success-rate ranking engine that tests codes in order of likelihood and applies the best working code automatically, supported by a daily-updated database of verified codes. The mobile app adds a credit card rewards comparison tool and gamified Rewarded Activities (games, surveys) that drive Coin earnings. Karma also sells an Embedded Loyalty B2B platform enabling partners to embed Karma's rewards technology into their own properties. Karma Shopping Ltd. (formerly Shoptagr Ltd.) was founded in 2015, rebranded in October 2021, and is incorporated in Israel with wholly-owned subsidiaries Karma Shopping Inc. (US) and Karma Shopping UK Ltd. (UK).

Revenue is generated primarily through affiliate commissions earned when users transact through Karma's tracked links across 20,000+ retailer partner programs, supplemented by the sale of aggregated, anonymized browsing data to advertisers, marketers, and market-measurement firms. Karma monetizes via networks including Rakuten Marketing, AWIN, Commission Junction, Impact Radius, Pepperjam, and SkimLinks. Go-to-market is product-led and self-serve — users discover and install the extension organically through the Chrome Web Store and mobile app stores, with no sales motion. The company has raised approximately $33.9 million in disclosed funding, including a $25 million Series A in October 2021 led by Target Global with participation from MoreTech Ventures.
