How TryKaro Verifies Deals: Our Complete Methodology
Online shopping in India is flooded with misleading discounts, artificial markups, and counterfeit sellers. Here is the exact 5-step process our price-tracking algorithms and human editors use to guarantee every deal is 100% genuine.
30-Day Historical Price Floor Analysis
Sellers frequently inflate an item's MRP right before a major festival or sale event to advertise a misleading "80% OFF". Our crawler logs daily price history across 50,000+ SKUs. A product is only classified as a true "Loot Deal" if its live checkout price drops below its 30-day moving median price by at least 25%.
Authorized Merchant & Seller Vetting
We strictly blacklist unauthorized third-party marketplace sellers that sell refurbished or counterfeit goods. For Amazon, we prioritize "Fulfilled by Amazon" or official brand flagship stores. For Flipkart, we require "Flipkart Assured" status. For D2C brands (like boAt, Noise, Zandu, Plum, XYXX), we link exclusively to the verified official store.
Hardware & Build Benchmark Testing
A cheap product is not a bargain if it breaks in two weeks. Our review team analyzes physical specifications: battery capacity (mAh), acoustic drivers (mm), display panels (AMOLED vs TFT), IPX waterproof ratings, and BIS safety certifications. If a device has persistent customer return rates or build defects, it is permanently barred from our guides.
Independent Editorial Governance (No Sponsored Rankings)
Merchants and brands cannot pay TryKaro to rank higher in our buying guides or to get placed at the top of our instant filter pills. Our recommendations are determined solely by discount severity, product testing scores, and consumer value.
Automated Stock & Expiration Guard
Loot deals are notorious for selling out rapidly. Our automated health-check periodically tests deal destination URLs for "Out of Stock" signals or price reversions, dynamically archiving expired deals so visitors do not waste time on dead links.
