I'm not sure how much of Honey works in India but this's crazy.
TL;DR: Honey (A coupon finding site) replaces affiliate cookies with their own cookies thus stealing commission from creators who actually brought in the sale. It also replaces the cookie even if no discounts were found. Also, they offer businesses the option to not populate higher value discount codes for a commission.

We have alternatives in India doing the same thing. I know these 2 (buyhatke / askmebazar etc) definitely opens up new tabs when you click on apply coupon and replaces cookie
