    Well.. I have been researching on groupon clone for past two weeks. While looking at the reviews of agriya, contus, altrasoft who all top ranking in google search but i was rather shocked about their quality. And in most of the forums, i couldn't see a neutral review about them. In most forums,, only their own staffs or representatives are posting the links to aid their SEO rankings, and the peoples are trapped by their rankings. But, I came to know their worst service and theirs software quality from below neutral reviews websites.

    http://www.consumercomplaints.in/complaints/stole-money-c544755.html
    http://www.complaintsboard.com/complaints/agriyacom-c271654.html
    http://www.complaintsboard.com/complaints/alstrasoftcom-c380202.html
    http://contus-support.pissedconsume...pay-for-junk-go-with-them-20100801191973.html

    I have always been very choosy to pick anyone to get my job done. So i took time to know about each outsourcing companies before handing over the responsibility. And finally concluded Magento would be the best one to build a groupon clone. There is already a groupon clone in Magento that perfectly does the job.

    That extension also have very good reviews for it in Magento Connect. ( dailydeals_grouponclone )

    I would certainly go with them as i trust Magento the most. Its best with interface as i have already worked in that platform. I will post my experiences with building groupon clone in magento soon.

    Why would you want to build a Groupon Clone? That business model is having some serious issues right now. Groupon probably not going to make it. I know a dude who sells for "Living Social" and he says the end is near. He's looking for other stuff to sell.

    The model is not great. The retailer sells a product through Groupon at a huge discount in order to create a customer base. Groupon takes half of the already low fee and then sells so many products or services on your behalf to bargain hunters who will move on to the next bargain never to return to your business. After the campaign you are wishing that your campaign with groupon was not so successful as you start to look after your below cost customers who arrive at your business with a low cost mentality and don't up-spend, just like the way you taught them. Getting into this model now might be too late. Maybe you might develop your own twist with a new angle.
