Retailer Requirements
Use this page to confirm the retailer-specific rules before submitting profiles.
Pokemon Center
- Available to all members with current ACO access.
- Up to 3 profiles per member.
- Each profile needs its own form.
- Each Pokemon Center profile requires a unique email address.
- Each Pokemon Center profile requires a unique payment method.
- Apple Card is not accepted for Pokemon Center ACO. Use a different supported payment method for Pokemon Center profiles. This restriction applies only to Pokemon Center / PKC; Apple Card can be used for other supported retailers when their normal payment requirements allow it.
- Address jigging is optional on Pokemon Center forms, but recommended to reduce duplicate-order risk.
- You may use the same base address without a jig, but Pokemon Center may use email, billing address, payment method, shipping address, and phone number to identify duplicate orders.
- If ACO successfully checks out and Pokemon Center later cancels the order because duplicate billing or profile information was used, the applicable PAS fee still applies.
- If you choose to jig the address, you may use the same base address with separate variations such as 123aaa Main Street, 123bbb Main Street, and 123ccc Main Street.
- Pokemon Center does not require the card type field to be correct. The card number, payment method, and other payment details still need to be valid.
- Pokemon Center ACO can checkout as a guest using the email submitted for that profile.
- Pokemon Center is not looped on a single profile. It completes checkout once per profile.
- Additional profiles may use alternative payment methods and optional address jigs to reduce duplicate-order risk.
- Read Address Jigging if you choose to use address jigs.
- ACO may run eligible Pokemon Center products selected by staff once per profile.
Target
- Available to all members with current ACO access.
- Up to 3 profiles per member.
- Personal Target accounts are not accepted for ACO.
- Target runs on our account pool; member shipping details are forwarded for records.
- Each Target profile must use a completely different shipping address and billing information.
- Target requires exact addresses with no jigging.
- All Target profiles are looped; the one-checkout setting does not apply.
- Avoid manual activity that uses the same submitted payment, billing, or shipping details.
- Target PO Box addresses may be flagged. Use a normal deliverable address when possible. A UPS mailbox may be an option if you need a separate deliverable address.
- Target preorder authorizations or temporary charges can drop off before the final charge. This does not automatically mean the order was canceled.
- Target “still loading” windows can indicate an IP ban. It may last about an hour, sometimes less or more.
- Target tracking numbers are sent by DM. Matched shipments also appear in the dashboard under Items Shipping.
Walmart
- Available to all members with current ACO access.
- Up to 5 Walmart profiles per member.
- Personal Walmart accounts are accepted.
- Walmart requires Account Login, Account PW, and IMAP Access.
- Walmart does not run on our account pool.
- Walmart addresses must be used exactly as entered; do not jig them.
- Avoid manual Walmart activity on the same submitted account while ACO is running unless staff says otherwise.
Amazon
- Amazon uses the personal or business Amazon account you submit.
- The Amazon form requires Account Login, Account PW, and IMAP Access.
- Amazon uses the default payment method, shipping address, and billing address saved on the Amazon account.
- Remove the phone number from the Amazon account entirely. The Amazon profile form does not require a separate phone number.
- Prime is recommended to avoid shipping charges and receive Prime-only pricing.
- Use a separate clean/new Amazon account for each submitted Amazon profile when possible, rather than reusing your main account. Use a separate billing method when possible.
- Do not jig your Amazon address.
- Amazon account warming is not a formal DropNotify ACO requirement. Correct login, account password, IMAP access, and default payment, shipping, and billing details matter most.
- Amazon can run 24/7 once loaded because there are no scheduled restocks.
- Looping checkouts cannot be disabled for Amazon. After a checkout, staff pauses the account; when restarted, it can become eligible again.
Sam’s Club
- Sam’s Club is limited to 1 profile per member.
- Sam’s Club uses one exact entered address; do not jig it.
- The Sam’s Club form requires Account Login, Account PW, and IMAP Access.
- IMAP access lets the bot retrieve login or verification codes from the inbox tied to the account.
- Plus memberships are preferred because they cover more drops.
- Staff usually targets the healthiest SKU for stability when multi-item Sam’s drops happen.
General ACO
- General ACO is a catch-all form for guest-checkout retailers that do not have a dedicated form.
- Current retailers include Ace Hardware, Books-A-Million, Macy’s, Hot Topic, BoxLunch, and Menards.
- Use the profile name format DiscordName-General-1, DiscordName-General-2, or DiscordName-General-3.
- There is no SKU selection. Staff chooses popular sets and new sets based on drop conditions.
- Products are intended to be under market, but MSRP or a specific percentage below market is not guaranteed.
Crunchyroll
- Use the Crunchyroll form with the account assigned to the profile.
- Use a physical payment card. Virtual cards may be declined or restricted.
- Use your Discord ID, not your username or nickname.
- Use the profile name format DiscordName-Crunchyroll-1, DiscordName-Crunchyroll-2, or DiscordName-Crunchyroll-3.
- Ultimate Fan membership is required for preorder drops.
- Mega Fan membership is required for non-preorder drops.
- Fan accounts are not accepted because they do not have access to the store.
- Do not manually run the same Crunchyroll account while it is assigned to ACO.
- DropNotify is not responsible for lost, delayed, stolen, or misdelivered packages.

- Use a physical payment card. Virtual cards may be declined or restricted by Bandai.
- Use your Discord ID, not your username or nickname.
- Select the game or games you want to run. There is no individual SKU selection.
- Use the profile name format DiscordName-Bandai-1, DiscordName-Bandai-2, or DiscordName-Bandai-3.
