Looking for an easy way to save money while shopping online? has built-in shopping tools that can help you find lower prices, no extensions needed. And yes, these features work with screen readers. Let me walk you through what’s available and how to use it.Microsoft Edge
What Shopping Features Does Edge Offer?
Microsoft Edge includes several shopping tools right in the browser. Now, I should mention that the automatic coupon-finding feature was retired in mid-2025. I know, I know. But don’t worry. Edge still has some solid money-saving tools:
Price Comparison: Edge checks prices at competing retailers and alerts you when a lower price is available elsewhere.
Price History: See price trends over time so you know if you’re getting a good deal or should wait for a better one.
Cashback: Earn cashback through Microsoft Rewards on eligible purchases, which you can transfer to PayPal.
How Price Comparison Works
While you’re browsing a product on a retailer’s website, Edge checks prices at competing retailers in the background. If a lower price is available elsewhere, you’ll see a blue price tag icon and hear an alert like “Lower price found.”
Click or navigate to the alert to see a list of prices from different retailers, along with direct links to the product page on those sites. If you already have the lowest price, Edge will tell you that too, saving you the time and energy of checking yourself. Now that’s what I call working smarter, not harder!
Screen Reader Tips
Screen reader users, here’s the deal. When Edge finds a deal, you’ll hear an alert. To get to it, navigate to the address bar first, then Tab to the alert. You’ll get a menu with options that’ll either take you to the retailer with the lower price or show you price history for the item.
How to Manage Shopping Settings
If you want to turn these features on or off:
Open Edge and go to the Settings menu (press Alt+F, then find Settings).
Navigate to Privacy, search, and services.
Look for “Save time and money with Shopping in Microsoft Edge.”
From there you can toggle the shopping features on or off to your heart’s content.
What About Coupons?
Microsoft retired the built-in coupon auto-apply feature in May 2025. If you still want automatic coupon finding, you’ll need a third-party browser extension. Popular options include Honey and Coupert, both of which work in Edge.
