How SulitScan Checks Deals Before You Click Buy

SulitScan is not a live price aggregator. We manually curate selected deals from Temu and Sephora PH through affiliate partner programs. Before any deal goes live on the site, we go through a structured review process. Here's exactly what that looks like.

How We Find Deals

We monitor Temu and Sephora PH through affiliate programs — specifically Temu's direct affiliate partner program and Involve Asia (for Sephora PH). Affiliate partners share product data, pricing, and deal information.

We browse these feeds manually and select products that appear to offer genuine value to Filipino shoppers. We do not use bots, scrapers, or automated tools to bulk-import deal data.

What We Check Before Listing

1. Is the price actually lower than usual?

We compare the listed sale price against publicly visible prices for similar products. If a product's "original price" looks inflated to make the discount seem bigger than it is, we note that in the buyer notes — or skip the product entirely.

Not every discount is genuine. A product listed at ₱999 "down from ₱3,500" is worth checking against similar products before assuming the ₱3,500 was ever a real price.

2. Is this an appropriate product for the platform?

For Temu, we focus on categories where the value is clear and the risk of disappointment is low: home organizers, kitchen tools, phone accessories, fashion basics, and decor. We are more cautious with electronics and branded products.

For Sephora PH, products are listed from an authorized retailer. We still check that the product matches the category, that the price is consistent with Sephora PH's listed price, and that the deal makes sense for Filipino shoppers.

3. Can additional savings be applied?

We note if platform vouchers, first-order discounts, or loyalty points can stack on top of the listed sale price. For Sephora PH, Beauty Rewards points are often applicable. For Temu, new-user and platform vouchers are frequently available.

4. What should the buyer check before purchasing?

Every deal card on SulitScan includes buyer notes: sizing reminders, shipping speed, quality expectations, and return policy context. These are not generic disclaimers — we write them based on the specific product type.

For clothing: we note sizing concerns (Temu often runs small). For skincare: we note patch test reminders and checking ingredient lists. For electronics: we flag compatibility and warranty questions.

5. What is the SulitScore?

The SulitScore is a 1–10 rating we assign to each deal based on:

• Discount authenticity — does the stated discount reflect a genuine price reduction?
• Store trust — how reliable is the seller or platform for this product type?
• Review quality — do buyer reviews on the partner store support the product claims?
• Voucher potential — can extra savings be applied?
• Shipping and delivery context — is the shipping time and cost reasonable?

A score of 9–10 means we consider the deal genuinely strong. A score of 6–7 means it may be worth checking but has caveats worth reading.

What We Do Not Do

• We do not physically test products
• We do not verify live inventory or stock
• We do not guarantee the price at checkout — prices change frequently
• We do not process payments or take orders
• We do not make medical or clinical claims about beauty products
• We do not fabricate reviews or testimonials

The Honest Disclaimer

Prices listed on SulitScan are sourced from affiliate datafeeds at the time we add or update a deal. They may not match the current price on the partner store. Platform vouchers and first-order discounts are not always reflected in the listed price.

Always confirm the final price, available vouchers, and seller terms on Sephora PH or Temu before you buy. If the price has changed since we listed it, use the "Report outdated price" link on the deal page — we appreciate the heads up.

Before You Click Buy — Your Checklist

1. Is the price on the partner store the same as what SulitScan shows?
2. Are there platform or seller vouchers you can apply?
3. Have you checked the size guide or product dimensions?
4. Have you read buyer reviews on the partner store?
5. Do you understand the return policy for this product type?
6. For skincare or beauty: have you checked the ingredient list?
7. For Temu orders: is the delivery estimate acceptable for when you need it?

SulitScan is a starting point — not the final word. You decide when to buy.

FAQ

Q: Do affiliate commissions affect which deals you list? No. We only list deals we believe offer genuine value. Our affiliate relationships do not determine our editorial selections. See our Affiliate Disclosure for full details.

Q: How often are prices updated? We update deals when we notice price changes through our affiliate feeds. But we are a small, manual operation — prices can change faster than we update. Always confirm on the partner store.

Q: Can I report a deal with a wrong price? Yes. Every deal detail page has a "Report outdated price" link. Clicking it opens your email client with the deal pre-filled. We review all reports.

Q: Do you cover Shopee, Lazada, or AliExpress? Not yet. SulitScan currently focuses on Temu and Sephora PH. More stores may be added later.
