Payback Coupon Activation Script

This script automatically logs in to your Payback account and activates available coupons. The script uses WebdriverIO to automate the process.

Quick start using Docker container

The containerized version runs Chromium headless:

Step 1: Create file docker-compose.override.yml with:

version: '3'
services:
  payback_activate:
    environment:
      - PAYBACK_USERNAME=your_username
      - PAYBACK_PASSWORD=your_password

Step 2: Build image via:

docker compose build

Step 3: Run container payback_activate via:

docker compose run payback_activate

Contribute and run manually

Prerequisites

1. Node.js (v14 or later) and npm installed on your system.
2. WebdriverIO and its required dependencies installed in your project folder.

Setup

1. Clone or download the repository containing the script and the package.json file.
2. Open a terminal (Command Prompt on Windows) and navigate to the project folder.
3. Run npm install to install the required dependencies.
4. Set the PAYBACK_USERNAME and PAYBACK_PASSWORD environment variables with your Payback account credentials:

Windows (Command Prompt)

set PAYBACK_USERNAME=your_username
set PAYBACK_PASSWORD=your_password

Windows (PowerShell)

$env:PAYBACK_USERNAME="your_username"
$env:PAYBACK_PASSWORD="your_password"

Linux and macOS

export PAYBACK_USERNAME=your_username
export PAYBACK_PASSWORD=your_password

Running the Script

With the environment variables set, you can now run the script:

npm run wdio

This command will start the script, which will perform the following steps:

1. Open the Payback login page.
2. Accept cookies.
3. Log in using the provided credentials.
4. Navigate to the coupons page.
5. Activate available coupons.

After the script has completed, you will see the test results in your terminal.

Make sure to set the environment variables for your Payback account credentials every time you open a new terminal or restart your computer.
