Checkmate

Checkmate is a shopping intelligence and data company whose network powers three products: Checkmate for consumers (a browser extension and mobile app that automatically finds the best price and applies working discount codes across 284,000+ merchants for 5M+ monthly shoppers), Mate for brands (AI-powered revenue intelligence), and OpenStock for publishers and agents. OpenStock is a commerce API and Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that exposes the entire Checkmate network through a single endpoint — letting AI agents, shopping copilots, and applications discover merchants, pull live catalogues and offers, generate real merchant-backed discount codes, check availability, and attribute orders. Backed by GV (Google Ventures).

Checkmate publishes 3 APIs on the APIs.io network: Health API, Merchants API, and Shoppers API. Tagged areas include Company, Consumer, Commerce, Ecommerce, and Shopping.

Checkmate’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, engineering blog, support, signup flow, authentication, and 18 more developer resources.
