Start a shopping chat
Open the AI assistant and describe what you're shopping for, including budget, brand preferences, and any must‑have features.​
Let the assistant narrow the list and explain the trade‑offs between options until you see one you like.​
Select the item and proceed to checkout
Tell the assistant to "buy" or "check out" with the item you've chosen; it will pass you to a checkout flow with the correct merchant and price prefilled.​
On the payment screen, choose PayPal as the payment method if it is available; this is what enables PayPal's buyer protection and any linked promotion.​
Apply and confirm the 50%‑type offer (if eligible)
Log in to your PayPal account; if your account or card qualifies for a 50% or similar promo, you should see the offer label or discounted total before you finalize payment.​
Check the terms (maximum discount, eligible categories, and end date), make sure the correct funding source and shipping details are selected, then confirm payment to complete the order.​
^Try to ask it in this format.
(See screenshots of me using the same prompt for the ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AX11000 [newegg.com])
If the response doesn't give you one of the supported retailers as an option, switch from the 'Answer' tab to the 'Shopping' tab located at the top. You will most likely find the instant buy button option there. (See my attached screenshot)
Community Reviews
Perplexity shopping can unlock the PayPal 50 percent back promo on select merchants, especially Newegg, with some success on PC parts, microSD Express cards, gaming chairs, and clothing. The strongest results come from the Shopping tab in a browser, often after repeated prompts or generic queries like find me a deal on, and the offer can appear at checkout with PayPal as the payment method. The main friction is reliability, since instant buy buttons, merchant matches, and cart initialization often fail or surface the wrong seller. Rewards also tend to post later in PayPal Rewards activity, sometimes after shipment or a couple of days, and the 50 percent is capped at $50 and may include tax.
Pending promo points can show up under PayPal Rewards activity after the order ships or processes.
Rewards can eventually become confirmed and redeemable after the initial pending period.
The promo flow can work for specific Newegg items when the correct Instant Buy option appears.
The PayPal 50% offer can appear instantly on the PayPal login or checkout screen during Instant Buy.
Instant Buy availability can be inconsistent by product and may require repeated prompting or a direct product link.
Promo points may not appear as pending immediately after purchase, and some orders show no pending points for a while.
Perplexity sometimes fails to pull back Shopping results or show the buy link even with the same query.
Checkout can fail with an error initializing the cart, making the deal hard to complete.

I suspect points will be issued once the charge processes and the item ships. Really janky flow, but 50% off is slick.
Pretty straightforward in my experience:
