Getting Started

How to install the browser extension

Chrome: Visit the Chrome Web Store and search for "Prospector" or click Install on our homepage.

Firefox: Visit Firefox Add-ons and search for "Prospector".

Edge: Visit the Microsoft Edge Add-ons store.

After installation, you'll see the Prospector icon in your browser toolbar. Click it to sign in or create an account.

Creating your account

Sign up with your email address or use Google/Apple sign-in. You'll receive a verification email - click the link to activate your account. Once verified, you can start earning cashback immediately.

How Prospector works

Prospector runs quietly in the background while you shop. When you visit a supported store, it automatically activates cashback, finds available coupons, compares prices, and warns you about potential scams. No extra clicks needed!

Cashback & Rewards

Why is my cashback pending?

Cashback remains "pending" until the merchant confirms your purchase (typically 30-90 days). This waiting period allows for returns or cancellations. Once confirmed, your cashback becomes available to withdraw.

How to withdraw my earnings

Once your balance reaches $10, you can withdraw via PayPal (instant), bank transfer (1-3 days), gift cards (+5% bonus), or $SPLI tokens (+50% bonus). Go to Dashboard > Withdraw to request payout.

Missing cashback on a purchase

If cashback didn't track, submit a Missing Cashback claim within 30 days. Go to Dashboard > Cashback History > Report Missing. Include your order number and purchase date. We'll investigate with the merchant.

Coupons & Codes

How automatic coupon apply works

At checkout, Prospector automatically tests available coupon codes and applies the one that saves you the most. You'll see a notification showing how much you saved. This happens in seconds without any action needed.

Coupon didn't apply - what do I do?

Some coupons have restrictions (first-time buyers, minimum purchase, specific items). If a coupon fails: 1) Check if another code is already applied, 2) Verify cart meets minimum requirements, 3) Try refreshing the page. You can also manually enter codes we find.

Price Comparison

How price comparison works

When viewing a product, Prospector searches across 10,000+ stores to find the same or similar items at lower prices. You'll see a popup showing alternatives with price differences and cashback rates.

Setting up price drop alerts

Click the Prospector icon on any product page and select "Track Price". Set your target price and we'll email you when the price drops. Manage all your tracked items in Dashboard > Price Alerts.

Security & Fraud Protection

What does "Scam Blocked" mean?

When you see a "Scam Blocked" warning, Prospector has detected that the website may be fraudulent. This could be a phishing site impersonating a real store, a known scam operation, or a site with security issues. We recommend leaving immediately.

How fraud detection works

We analyze domain age, SSL certificates, lookalike URLs (homograph attacks), community reports, and compare against our database of 2M+ known scam sites. Our AI continuously learns new patterns to protect you from emerging threats.

Reporting a scam site

Found a scam we missed? Click the Prospector icon and select "Report This Site". Your report helps protect the community. You can also email security@myprosperousapp.com with details.

Account & Settings

Updating payment information

Go to Dashboard > Settings > Payment Methods to add or update your PayPal email, bank account, or crypto wallet address. Changes take effect immediately for future withdrawals.

Deleting your account

Go to Settings > Account > Delete Account. Please withdraw any remaining cashback first as it cannot be recovered after deletion. Account deletion is permanent and processed within 30 days.

Managing notification preferences

Control which emails you receive in Settings > Notifications. Toggle price alerts, cashback confirmations, weekly deal digests, and promotional offers. Extension notifications can be adjusted in Settings > Extension.
