How it works

How it works

How you get in, what you connect, and where each number comes from.

Getting started

Four steps in.

  1. Ask for access

    Email us what you sell and how you source. There's no checkout yet, and we charge nobody who hasn't agreed to the price and terms first.

  2. Get your workspace

    We set up your account. You sign in through Amazon Cognito with multi-factor authentication.

  3. Install the app

    macOS on Apple silicon or Intel, or Windows. The app updates itself and shows you what changed first.

  4. Start researching

    Connect your Amazon seller account Awaiting Amazon connection for your own fees and eligibility, and your Google account In testing for Sheets. Keepa needs no account of your own.

Your Amazon account

Through Amazon's Selling Partner API, with your authorization: catalog details, current offers, Amazon's fee estimate for each product, your listing eligibility, and your own orders, inventory and settlements. This connection is Awaiting Amazon connection: the parts that use it are in the app, and Amazon has to open Profit Outpost's access to seller accounts before you can connect yours. Profit Outpost reads this data. It doesn't list, reprice or buy for you.

Keepa

Price, Buy Box, rank and offer history, Product Finder, seller and storefront data, under Profit Outpost's commercial Keepa access. Lookups cost tokens, so you get a daily allowance, Profit Outpost caches results, and an expensive lookup shows its cost first.

Two systems, kept apart

Amazon data and Keepa data run on separate, isolated systems with their own credentials and database permissions. Profit Outpost never sends Keepa results to Amazon, and your Amazon data never enters Keepa research.

The Sellers screen: look up a seller by name, seller ID or storefront link, with the Keepa token cost stated, or find sellers from products, a brand, a seller's competitors or a categoryThe Sellers screen: look up a seller by name, seller ID or storefront link, with the Keepa token cost stated, or find sellers from products, a brand, a seller's competitors or a category

Measured or estimated

  • Measured: your own orders, fees and inventory from Amazon, and Keepa's recorded history.
  • Estimated: profit, ROI, max cost, sales per month, category percentages and storage, each labelled where it appears.
  • Unknown: when a figure isn't available, Profit Outpost says so instead of showing zero or guessing.

Nothing runs on open

Opening a screen sends no request to Amazon or Keepa. Lookups run when you ask, and anything with a cost shows it first.
