Why "360°" Isn't Just Our Name
A discount code isn't something you can judge just by looking at it. The number on the label might say 20% off, but whether that number actually appears in your cart depends on the country you're shopping from, the currency the store is charging in, and a handful of conditions that rarely make it into the headline.
At VoucherCodes360, checking a code properly means looking at it from every angle, the terms, the currency, the country, and the checkout page itself, before we ever call it verified. Below is exactly how that process works, and what it looks like across each of the 12 countries we cover.
Where Our Voucher Codes Come From
Direct Retailer Feeds
Brands and affiliate networks share active promotions with us, sometimes including codes made only for our readers.
Manual Store Checks
Our team browses each country's store pages, newsletters and app promotions to catch offers before they're widely known.
Shopper Reports
Found a working code we're missing? Send it in and we'll test it on the right country's store before it's added.
The Full 360° Verification Process
1. We log the source and the exact country it's for
Every voucher code we receive gets tagged to a specific country store from the start, so it's never tested or listed against the wrong platform.
2. We read the retailer's own terms
Minimum spend, excluded items, and eligibility conditions are pulled straight from the store's page, not guessed at from a promotional banner.
3. We run the code through an actual checkout
Where public testing is possible, we build a real cart on the correct country site, enter the code, and confirm the discount lands in the local currency.
4. We publish it with a verified tag
Once the code has passed every step above, it goes live on that country's page, tag and all, so shoppers know it's already been checked.
5. We come back and check again
Every country page is revisited on a rolling schedule, and more frequently during that market's biggest sale events, to catch anything that's changed.
What This Looks Like In Practice
A quick walkthrough using a made-up example, so you can follow the logic without us naming a specific brand.
A partner shares a 15% off code for its Germany store
It arrives tagged for the DE market only, with a minimum order of €40.
We check the small print
The code excludes items already reduced and applies once per account. We note both conditions in our listing.
We add a €50 item to a cart on the German site and enter the code
The discount shows correctly in euros at checkout, confirming it works as described on the right platform.
It goes live on our Germany page with a verified tag
The minimum spend, exclusions, and once-per-account rule are all listed clearly next to the code.
We revisit it two weeks later
If the retailer has since changed the terms or ended the offer, our next scheduled check catches it and the listing gets updated or removed.
What We Refuse To Do
A trustworthy deals website is defined as much by what it won't do as by what it checks.
We don't leave dead codes online for the traffic. A discount code that no longer works gets corrected or pulled, not left up to collect clicks.
We don't manufacture urgency. No fake countdown clocks, and no invented claims about how many people "just used" a code.
We don't mix up country platforms. A code built for one country's store is never listed as if it works everywhere else too.
We don't gate codes behind sign-up. Every voucher code on VoucherCodes360 can be copied without creating an account.
How Verification Works, Country by Country
Same 5-step process everywhere, tested on the right store, in the right currency, market by market.
A verified tag means we checked the code on the right country's store, in the right currency, before you saw it. It doesn't mean the retailer can never change the offer, so glance at your cart total before you pay.

How We Handle Codes That Stop Working
Ongoing Checks
Scheduled reviews, manual spot checks on each country's store pages, and shopper reports all feed into catching codes that have changed or expired.
Same-Day Corrections
Once a dead code is confirmed, we aim to update or remove it within 24 hours, so it doesn't sit there wasting the next shopper's time.

Frequently Asked Questions
On VoucherCodes360, a code carries a verified tag only after our team has checked its terms and tested it at checkout on the correct country store. That tag is the quickest way to know a code has already been through our voucher code validation process before you try it.
The terms are mostly used the same way in everyday shopping. Both refer to a code entered at checkout to unlock a discount, free delivery, or a gift. We use "voucher code" and "promo code" interchangeably across our site, since stores themselves label them differently.
Yes. A voucher for Shopee Malaysia is not built to work on Shopee Singapore, even though it's the same brand. We test each code on that country's own store, in the local currency, before it appears on that country's page.
Once a code fails a check, whether from a scheduled review or a shopper report, we aim to correct or remove it within 24 hours, so the next visitor to that page doesn't hit a dead end.
The usual reasons are a cart that didn't reach the minimum spend, an excluded item sitting in the basket, an account that wasn't eligible as a new customer, or the store ending the promotion after our last check. Let us know the store and code and we'll look into it.
Browsing and copying codes is completely free, with no account needed. When a purchase is completed through one of our links, the retailer may pay us a commission from their own marketing budget. This is standard for a discount code website and never changes the price you pay.
Yes. Verified means our team checked it before publishing, not that the retailer is locked into keeping it active forever. Promotions get paused or ended by the store at any time, so always glance at your cart total before completing payment.
We test on whichever surface the code is meant for. If a discount only applies inside a store's mobile app, we check it there rather than on the desktop site, since app-only codes frequently don't carry over to a browser.
Confirm your cart total meets the minimum spend, that nothing in your basket is excluded, and that you're using the right kind of account if the offer says new customer only. Then watch the order total update before you pay, that's your final confirmation.
The number simply reflects how many genuine promotions that retailer is running right now. We don't hold codes back, we publish every offer we can verify, so a smaller count usually means the brand has fewer live campaigns at that moment.
