Add the extension

To add the free ID.me Shop extension

Go to the ID.me Shop extension in Chrome’s web store.
Select Add to Chrome.
Shop online as you normally would. When a discount is available, the browser extension will let you know. Select the discount in the browser extension and claim your discount.

Tip: To get access to the most ID.me Shop discounts, create an ID.me account and verify for a community. Some discounts and cash back are available through ID.me Shop, even if you’re not part of a community.

How it works

After you add the extension, the ID.me Shop browser extension will pop up to let you know when you are on a site where a discount is available to you. The pop-up shows which discounts or cash back offers options are available for that brand, along with details about the discount. To begin claiming your discount or activating cash back, select the discount or cash back button in the extension’s pop-up. Below are examples of what the pop-ups may look like.
