Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]  
Principles of Consolidation
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.
Use of Estimates
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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
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 and Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Adoption of New Accounting Standards
There were no new accounting standards adopted during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, requiring the Company to disclose specified additional information in its income tax rate reconciliation, including additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold and provide enhanced disclosures related to income taxes paid. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 and will likely result in the required additional disclosures being included in the footnotes to our consolidated financial statements on either a prospective or retrospective basis upon adoption. The Company is assessing the effect this guidance may have on our disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The amendments in this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is assessing the effect this guidance may have on our disclosures.
