# Profile Submission

> Use the correct form for each retailer profile and review the weekly submission cutoff.

# Profile Submission Form

Use the correct form for each ACO retailer profile. Submit a separate form for every profile you want run.

A profile is one unique run slot. For account-based retailers, that means one unique retailer account per profile. For Target, each profile is one unique submitted setup in our Target account pool.

## Weekly Cutoff

All profile forms, profile changes, and profile removal requests are due every **Sunday at 12:00 PM CT**.

Anything submitted after the cutoff is not run for the current week. The dashboard shows the next cutoff in your local browser time.

You do **not** need to resubmit forms every week. Only resubmit a form if you deleted your existing profile/form or if a discrepancy caused a failed checkout and the profile needs to be corrected. Delete the old profile/form before submitting a replacement.

## Weekly Profile Import

Submitting a profile does not immediately make it active in the bot. Each Sunday, staff reviews the accepted Google Form responses, creates the bot-ready profiles, applies SKU elections for supported retailers, and imports the completed profiles for the weekly run.

Staff manually marks the weekly import complete after this process is finished. Until that switch is updated, profiles may continue to show as queued while staff works through submissions or resolves setup issues.

### Profile Status

| Status                              | What It Means                                                                                                   |
| ----------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Active in Current Weekly Import** | The profile is marked **Imported** and is ready to run for the current week.                                    |
| **Queued for Next Weekly Import**   | The profile is marked **Not Imported**, **New**, or **Pending**. It is not active in the current weekly import. |

### Weekly Import Status

| Status                             | What It Means                                                   |
| ---------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Current Weekly Import Complete** | Staff has marked the profiles for the current week as imported. |
| **Next Weekly Import Pending**     | Staff has not yet marked the weekly profile import complete.    |

If your profile is not active yet, staff may still be completing the weekly import, resolving a setup issue, or reviewing an incomplete submission. Open **My Profiles** on the [Member Dashboard](https://dropnotifyaco.app) to confirm the profile information you submitted. If the information is correct and the status still appears wrong after the weekly import is complete, open a Discord support ticket.

## Choose The Correct Form

* **Pokemon Center / PKC:** available to all members with current ACO access, up to **3 profiles**. Each profile requires a unique email address, unique payment method, and separate address jig.
* **Target:** available to all members with current ACO access, up to **3 profiles**. Each Target profile needs different shipping and billing information.
* **Walmart:** available to all members with current ACO access, up to **5 profiles**. Walmart requires **Account Login**, **Account PW**, and **IMAP Access**.
* **Sam's Club:** limited to **1 profile**.
* **Amazon:** uses the Amazon form. IMAP is required and Amazon runs 24/7 once loaded.
* **Closed retailers:** Costco.
* Do not submit a retailer on the wrong form. Incorrect forms may prevent your profile from being loaded.

## Before You Submit

* Read every question before entering your information.
* Use one form per profile.
* Every form requires your Discord ID. Use `/profile_setup` in Discord to find this ID.
* Use a unique account for each account-based retailer profile.
* Use the profile label format shown in the form: **DiscordName-Retailer-ProfileNumber**.
* Do not include spaces in the profile label.
* Choose whether the profile should stop after one successful checkout or allow multiple successful checkouts.
* Walmart profiles require **Account Login**, **Account PW**, and **IMAP Access**.
* Sam's Club profiles require **Account Login**, **Account PW**, and **IMAP Access**.
* Amazon profiles require **Account Login**, **Account PW**, and **IMAP Access**.
* Amazon uses the default payment, shipping, and billing settings on your Amazon account.
* Need help with IMAP? Read [How To Set Up IMAP](/account-access/imap-setup).

## Forms With Two Email Fields

Some retailer forms ask for two different email addresses:

* **Email Address 1** is your contact email. If you choose to receive a copy of your completed form, Google Forms sends the copy to this address.
* **Email Address 2** is the email used for checkout. On account-based retailer forms, this may be labeled as the retailer login email.

These addresses may be the same, but they serve different purposes. Make sure the checkout or retailer-account email is entered in the second field when the form provides both fields.

## Payment Details

* Enter the card number with **numbers only**. Do not use spaces or dashes.
* Select the correct card type.
* Enter the expiration month as **2 digits**. Example: **01**.
* Enter the expiration year as **4 digits**. Example: **2028**.
* Enter the CVV exactly as shown on the card.
* Only hard cards are accepted. Do not submit VCCs or AMEX employee cards.
* For Amazon, make sure the default payment method is the billing method you want ACO to use.

## Shipping & Billing Details

* Enter your full shipping name, phone number, street address, city, state abbreviation, ZIP/postal code, and 2-letter country code.
* Phone numbers should be numbers only.
* If billing is the same as shipping, select **Yes** and leave the billing-only fields blank.
* If billing is different, fill out every billing field that applies.
* For Amazon, make sure your Amazon account default shipping and billing addresses are correct before submitting.
* Double-check spelling, numbers, state abbreviations, ZIP/postal code, and country code before submitting.
* If you need to jig an address, read [Address Jigging](/profiles/address-jigging) or use `/profile_setup` in Discord.

## Security

* Payment information is not stored on personal PCs.
* Payment information never leaves our dedicated private server.
* We do not use a rented server, so server access cannot be provided by a third-party host.
* Our private server is secured for ACO operations, and access will not be granted to anyone outside the authorized team now or in the future.
* Data is loaded into the bot and removed from the server in a safe manner.
* Do not post passwords, card details, app passwords, or login codes in Discord.
