Upgrade · Automated · A$100/mo

Automated checkout for Australian drops.

Restock alerts tell you. Automated acts. When a product you've armed comes into stock on a supported store, it adds it to your cart and checks out for you, from your own computer with your own accounts.

Automated is request-only with hands-on setup. Join Signal, then request the upgrade from your account.

How a run works

From armed to paid, without the scramble.

Add the products you want. When one comes into stock on a supported store, Automated carts it and checks out for you.

01

Armed

Set it before the drop. Paste the product link and set your quantity. Each store runs cart only or cart + pay.

02

In stock

Stock flips. DropWatch checks the store every few seconds. The moment it reads in stock, the run starts.

03

In cart

Into your cart. Added in the background at your quantity, then checkout opens.

04

Checked

Checks run before Pay, like refusing sold-out checkouts and can't-deliver checkouts.

05

Paid

Paid, or over to you. Pays with your Shop Pay or PayPal, or stops at checkout so you can finish.

Guardrails

Built to stop, not just go.

Only its own checkout

Pay is pressed once per attempt, only on a checkout it opened moments earlier.

Ignores bad reads

Blocked, queued or timed-out pages never count as in stock.

Quantity limits

Your quantity, held to the limit set for each store.

Stop anytime

Cancel switches off every watcher and any payment about to happen.

Dry run

Rehearse the whole buy with a dry run that stops right before Pay.

Runs on your machine

Your computer. Your accounts. Your payment.

  • Runs on your own computer, signed in to your own store accounts. Your computer needs to be on and running DropWatch while it watches.
  • Payment goes through your own Shop Pay or PayPal, so your card details never come to us.
  • Cart + pay on supported Shopify stores and selected custom stores. Onboarding covers exactly which stores your setup runs on.
  • Cart only, anywhere you prefer. Choose cart only for a store and it stops at checkout for you to finish.

Questions

Before you join.

What is ACO?

ACO is short for automated checkout: software that adds a product to your cart and checks out for you when it comes into stock, so you're not racing everyone else to the page.

What does Automated actually do?

You add the products you want and choose cart only or cart + pay for each store. When one comes into stock, DropWatch adds it to your cart, opens checkout and, if you've allowed it, pays with your Shop Pay or PayPal. Paying is supported on selected Shopify and custom stores.

Does it guarantee I'll get the product?

No. Nothing can guarantee stock at a busy drop. Automated removes the scramble on your side: no hunting for the page and no typing at checkout.

Do I need to watch it?

No, but your computer needs to be on and running DropWatch while it watches. It carts and checks out on its own, or stops at checkout for you if you've chosen cart only.

Does DropWatch ever see my card details?

No. Automated pays through your own Shop Pay or PayPal, on your own computer, so your card details never come to us.

Can I test it first?

Yes. A dry run rehearses the whole buy and stops right before Pay, so nothing is charged.

How do I get Automated?

Join Signal, then request the upgrade from your account page. Setup is hands-on, one member at a time.
