According to the Lazada insiders in this article , the timing of when you click “Check Out” is crucial. In preparation for a big sale like the 9.9, you ought to start adding items to your cart days in advance so you don’t miss out on them.
Some items are so sought after that they sell out in seconds. Avoidable missed opportunities like that are not how we make smart spending decisions here at Dobin.
Once the start of the sale arrives–preferably at the stroke of midnight–quickly check out your cart with your stacked vouchers in tow. This ensures that you’ve made use of all the best deals available on Lazada.
Some products on Lazada come with exclusive promo codes that you can apply upon check out. It is important to remember that it only applies to certain products and it will clearly show the code in the product image itself.
Here is an example of the promo code feature:
Go to your Cart. Scroll to the selected item. Enter the voucher code below the item and click “Apply” to redeem. If it works, you will see the discounted amount. If not, there will be a message that explains why the redemption was unsuccessful.
There’s no denying that the platform's treasure trove of vouchers and discounts holds the key to unlocking even more savings and maximizing your shopping budget.
However, the terms and conditions in each voucher make it hard to determine whether it means it can be used upon checkout. In this writer’s experience, the biggest savings are only earned when you plan to spend a significant amount of at least $200.
That said, automating the process would be a lifesaver for anyone who wants to shop at wallet-friendly prices without the hassle of bargain hunting. With Dobin, this is easily solved.
Once you’ve downloaded the Dobin app, head over to the “Discounts” tab and type “Lazada” in the search bar. The results will show the relevant vouchers that you can instantly apply for maximum savings.
