Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION	DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION Company Information Groupon, Inc. and its subsidiaries, which commenced operations in October 2008, is a global scaled two-sided marketplace that connects consumers to merchants by offering goods and services, generally at a discount. Consumers access those marketplaces through our mobile applications and our websites. Our operations are organized into two segments: North America and International. See Note 13, Segment Information. Unaudited Interim Financial Information We have prepared the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited and, in our opinion, include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss), Cash Flows and Stockholders' Equity (Deficit) for the periods presented. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. Principles of Consolidation The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Groupon, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, majority-owned subsidiaries over which we exercise control and variable interest entities for which we are the primary beneficiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Outside stockholders' interests in subsidiaries are shown on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as Noncontrolling interests. Investments in entities in which we do not have a controlling financial interest are accounted for at fair value as available-for-sale securities or at cost adjusted for observable price changes and impairments, as appropriate. Going Concern The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. In accordance with Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), we have evaluated whether there are conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are issued. Our net cash used in operating activities was $136.0 million and $124.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Net cash used in operating activities was $118.6 million and $108.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. Cash and cash equivalents were $118.1 million as of June 30, 2023. We entered into a fourth amendment to the revolving credit agreement in March 2023, which reduced our borrowing capacity and modified certain financial covenants as described in Note 5, Financing Arrangements. The fourth amendment to the revolving credit agreement matures on May 14, 2024. The maturing credit facility together with cash outflows and operating losses indicate that we may not be able to meet our obligations over the next twelve months. These conditions and events, when considered in the aggregate, raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We are currently evaluating several different options to enhance our liquidity position. These options include, but are not limited to, pursuing additional financing from both the public and private markets and potential monetization of certain non-core assets. In addition, we expect to pursue additional cost savings initiatives under our 2022 Cost Savings Plan (as defined in Note 9, Restructuring), such as, but not limited to, additional restructuring actions, renegotiating contractual arrangements with certain service providers and continuing to make elective decisions to eliminate vacant positions rather than rehire. Management will also take steps designed to minimize the risk certain payment processors will require reserves or holdback receivables. While management intends to improve our liquidity and our ability to meet our obligations through the plans described above, those plans are not final and are subject to market and other conditions not within our control. Accordingly, we have concluded that these plans do not alleviate substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Estimates in our financial statements include, but are not limited to, the following: variable consideration from unredeemed vouchers; income taxes; leases; initial valuation and subsequent impairment testing of goodwill, other intangible assets and long-lived assets; investments; receivables; customer refunds and other reserves; contingent liabilities; and the useful lives of property, equipment and software and intangible assets. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Reclassifications Certain reclassifications have been made to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of prior periods to conform to the current period presentation. Adoption of New Accounting Standards There were no new accounting standards adopted during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.
