PayShrink coupons aren't the same thing you might be used to thinking about -- first of all, they're not even on paper, sometimes. That's because our discounts are tied to you, the user, and to the store that is offering the discount.

The mobile version of PayShrink's Web site takes advantage of this, by allowing you to retrieve an Active Code to your phone. This code regulates all of the discounts on the site so that shoppers won't overuse the same discount -- and so that store owners can offer better discounts to a wider audience.

If you are a registered member of PayShrink and you have a smartphone, such as an iPhone, just visit our site's homepage, and sign into the service from the mobile sign-in form. You should immediately see a page that lists your saved discounts.

Wherever you have available discounts to use, you will see a "Get Code" button next to it.

The best time to press this button is a few minutes before you actually present the discount. That's because the active code is shown only once and must be saved for the store to validate the discount offer for you.

When you are ready to use it, press that button and a page will be shown on your phone's screen that contains the store's discount offer, and an Active Code that the store needs to see. Just present this screen to the cashier and they will accept it.
