The biggest sale day of the season is almost here, and trust us, the internet is about to light up. Timers will be ticking down, carts will be filling up fast, and the best deals will disappear before you know it. But here’s the thing, you don’t need to be a voucher wizard or stay up all night refreshing pages to win at 9.9 shopping.
All you need is a smart plan that keeps your budget happy while your cart does all the heavy lifting. And that’s exactly what we’re here to help you with. From finding the best deals to spreading your payments so you can shop stress-free, here’s your complete guide to shopping smarter with Atome.
The game plan you’ll actually follow
Think of 9.9 shopping like this: there are two simple steps that make all the difference. First, choose your stores wisely so all that scrolling actually leads to something worthwhile. Second, check out in a way that keeps your finances flowing smoothly.
That’s where Atome comes in. With Atome, you can split any eligible purchase into three easy payments – pay the first installment at checkout, then spread the rest over the next two months. It’s straightforward, it helps you build a bigger cart without the big upfront cost, and it takes the sting out of those eye-watering totals.
Your game plan? Start with a focused shopping list, pair up store deals with Atome vouchers, and hit “pay” when the numbers feel just right. Simple steps, happy wallet, even bigger smile.
Where to shop for maximum joy
Amazon.sg is perfect for variety shopping without jumping between websites. Focus on what actually makes life easier: books you’ve been eyeing, tech upgrades like a faster SSD or better router, and home essentials like coffee, cleaning supplies, or that small appliance you’ve been putting off. Apply the site discount first, then choose Atome at checkout to spread your payment across three comfortable dates.
For Zalora, start with pieces you’ll actually wear regularly – sneakers, workwear basics, crisp tees and trousers that fit properly. Add one standout piece for the season, like a dress for events or a versatile blazer. Close to the voucher limit? Grab a beauty essential you’d replace anyway. Apply site discounts first, then split with Atome for a bigger wardrobe refresh without the bigger upfront cost.
SHEIN is perfect for “put-together without planning” shopping. Focus on office chic or athleisure in colors that work with your style. Grab two tops, two bottoms, and one light layer that all mix together. Add accessories like a belt, cap, or small bag. You’ll hit your discount target with a complete outfit that actually works together. Claim your Atome voucher and split the payment for gentle upfront costs.
How to use Atome for 9.9 like a pro
Before you start building any cart, open the Atome app and grab any vouchers that match your shopping plan. Check the minimum spend requirements and expiry dates so there are no surprises later. When you’re ready to check out, apply the merchant’s discount first, then choose Atome to split your payment. If a voucher doesn’t work for some items, don’t stress about it. Just adjust your cart or split it into smaller orders to make sure you’re still getting those savings.
Timing is everything during 9.9. Many deals go live at midnight or rotate in short bursts throughout the day. Here’s a pro tip: pre-build and save your carts in the evening. Sign in on both your phone and laptop so you can switch quickly if one device starts lagging.Keep a small note of which item pushes your cart over the spend threshold for a discount. When the price feels right, check out immediately. A solid saving right now is always better than chasing after one that disappears while you’re still deciding.
A friendly BNPL refresher
With Atome, splitting your payment couldn’t be simpler. Pay the first third at checkout, the second installment in a month, and the final one the month after that. There’s no interest on the standard three-month plan, and the app shows all fees and dates upfront so you can make decisions with complete clarity.
Sometimes longer payment plans are available. Only choose these if the small fee makes sense for your situation and the item will be useful for months to come.
Here are some guidelines that help everything flow smoothly:
- Keep your shopping list focused – resist the urge to add everything that catches your eye
- Make sure your cart reaches the spend needed for discounts – otherwise you’re leaving money on the table
- Spread your purchases across different days if you’re shopping at multiple stores
- Keep track of returns and understand how refunds affect your installments
- Don’t let installments trick you into buying more – let them make planned purchases easier, not encourage impulse buys
Small tips, big wins
Shop early when possible so your preferred sizes and delivery slots don’t vanish. Keep your address and payment information updated in both Atome and your shopping accounts to avoid last-minute checkout stress. If you bounce between your phone and laptop while shopping, make sure your carts are syncing properly across devices.
Here’s a reality check: skip the “almost deals.” If you wouldn’t pay full price for something next month, it doesn’t belong in tonight’s cart. Tempted by a second color of something you love? Save it for later and see if you still want it next week. Buy smart, pay smart, enjoy the excitement, and let your future self smile when those packages start arriving at your door.
