ACO stands for auto-checkout. It's a service where a team uses automated tools to attempt checkouts on high-demand releases, like Pokémon products, using retailer accounts that you provide.
How ACO works, step by step
- You join an ACO group and choose a tier.
- You submit your retailer accounts (and payment details) through the group's secure process.
- During eligible drops, the team attempts checkouts on your accounts.
- If an order goes through, you pay the group's fee; at PokeSyndicate it's 10% per successful checkout.
ACO vs restock alerts
Alerts tell you stock is live so you can try yourself. ACO attempts the checkout for you, but requires trusting a third party with account access.
Know before you ACO: many retailers prohibit automated or bulk purchasing, and orders or accounts can be cancelled. You share payment and email access with the ACO team, so use their official secure process, and consider a dedicated email and card.
