Common Discount Traps by Merchants
Merchants often use "inflate original price then discount" strategies. A product marked ¥500 at 50% off might only be worth ¥250. A discount calculator reveals the real discount rate, protecting you from false deals.
How to Compare Different Offers?
Same product, Store A offers 20% off, Store B offers ¥80 off on ¥300+. Which is cheaper? With original price ¥500: Store A=¥400, Store B=¥420. Store A wins.
