These merchants provide the deals and services that form the backbone of Groupon's offerings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIndividually, most of these merchants possess limited bargaining power. Their fragmented nature and reliance on Groupon for significant customer reach often place them in a weaker negotiating position regarding commission rates or deal terms. For instance, in 2023, the vast majority of Groupon's merchant partners were small to medium-sized businesses with limited alternative marketing channels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, this dynamic shifts for businesses offering highly unique or in-demand products and services.

When a merchant provides a highly sought-after or exclusive experience, they gain considerable leverage. This means they can often negotiate better terms, including more favorable pricing and lower commission rates, as Groupon relies on these unique deals to attract customers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor instance, consider a popular local restaurant offering a unique tasting menu not available elsewhere. This restaurant can command a higher price point and potentially a smaller commission percentage from Groupon compared to a generic coffee shop.
