Frequently Asked Questions

DealStocks is a community-driven platform where users discover, share, and rate the best deals from popular retailers like Amazon, Walmart, Target, Best Buy, and more. Our community helps you find incredible savings on products you love.

Creating an account is free and easy! Click the "Sign Up" button in the top navigation, fill out the registration form with your username, email, and password, then check your email to activate your account.

No! You can browse and discover deals without an account. However, creating an account allows you to post deals, rate and comment on posts, and access your personal dashboard.

Once logged in, click the "Create Dealstock" button in the navigation bar or go to the "Create" page. Fill out the deal details including the product title, sale price, original price, description, and product URL. Add an image and select the appropriate category.

For each deal post, you'll need:

• Product Title: Clear, descriptive name of the product
• Sale Price: Current discounted price
• Original Price: Regular retail price (for comparison)
• Description: Details about the deal, product features, or why it's a good buy
• Product URL: Direct link to the product page
• Image: Product photo (will be automatically optimized)
• Category: Choose the most relevant category

We support deals from major retailers including Amazon, Walmart, Target, Best Buy, Home Depot, Lowe's, Newegg, Etsy, Wayfair, and many more. If you find a great deal from a supported store, feel free to share it!

We offer multiple subscription plans to fit your needs:

• Basic Plan: 5 published posts + 10 draft posts per rolling 30 days
• Starter Plan: $9.99/month or $119.88/year - Perfect for getting started
• Plus Plan: $19.98/month or $239.88/year - Great for active users
• Pro Plan: $49.99/month or $599.88/year - For power users and professionals

Post limits use a rolling 30-day window, not calendar months. This means your limits reset based on when you first posted, not the first of each month. Drafts and published posts have separate limits, and editing existing posts doesn't count against your limits.

You can upgrade from the Subscribe page. Choose from our Starter, Plus, or Pro plans, each available in monthly or annual billing options. Annual plans offer significant savings compared to monthly billing.

Yes! You can manage your subscription anytime through your account settings. Cancellations take effect at the end of your current billing period, so you'll keep Plus benefits until then.

• Categories: Browse by product categories like Electronics, Home & Garden, Fashion, etc.
• Sorting: Sort by newest, highest rated, or most popular deals
