Found for you shows 9 units ready to claim worth $110.00, and 11 units that need a look, with $28.00 on the 3 that have an amount. The Uno card game is looked up in the Profit calculator with no cost typed. For the trial line only, Jordan Park is a made-up seller in a test copy on a Premier trial with 5 days left. Find the rest in the demo login, opened from your phone's home screen. Say you sell a blender called Kitchen Blend. Its ASIN is `B0EXAMPLE1`, and you bought 6 of them. The phone app is SourceDock opened from your home screen, with no app store download. Your login, stores, and numbers match the website. The phone layout shows only when three things are true. You opened SourceDock from the home screen, not a browser tab. The screen is a touch screen. Its short side is under 600 px. A tablet, a computer, and a phone's browser tab keep the website. ## Put it on your home screen ### iPhone Safari never offers to install SourceDock, so the Desk tells you how. **1. Open SourceDock** Open app.sourcedock.io in Safari, Chrome, Firefox, or Edge, and sign in. The Desk says **Get SourceDock on your iPhone: tap Share, then Add to Home Screen.** **2. Add it** Tap Share, then Add to Home Screen. **3. Open it** Open SourceDock from your home screen. The small x on that line hides it in that browser, though a private window can show it again. On an iPad it says iPad. It never shows in an app's own browser, such as Facebook's. ### Android Android's browser offers its own install, so SourceDock prints no line there. Once installed, sharing an Amazon page to SourceDock opens the **Profit calculator** with it. An iPhone's share sheet never lists SourceDock, and on an iPhone only the home-screen app can get phone alerts. ## The top bar The SourceDock mark opens the Desk. The eye icon (privacy mode) hides your money figures until tapped again. ![A thin bar with the SourceDock mark on the left, the store code US with a small arrow, and an eye icon on the right.](https://mintcdn.com/sourcedock/hBQ-HhjlmlJM4ba4/images/deep-dives/phone-app-in-depth/01-demo-top-bar.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=hBQ-HhjlmlJM4ba4\&q=85\&s=e9e59a4430623d29c79ae55376643a9d) Demo login: the phone's top bar. Notice the store code US, because the demo has two stores, and the eye icon on the right. With more than one store, the store's code sits in the bar, such as "US". A tap opens **Pick a store**. On Sales the sheet is **Show sales for**, starting with **All stores**, and the bar then reads "ALL". On **Capital Recovery** the bar also shows **Default** and **Adv**. On the phone, Capital Recovery looks the same either way; the switch sets your login's view on the website. During a trial, a line says **Your trial is running.**, **Your trial ends today.**, **You have 1 day left in your trial.**, or "You have 5 days left in your trial.", with **Update your billing information** beside it. ![An orange bar reading You have 5 days left in y... with the link Update your billing information.](https://mintcdn.com/sourcedock/hBQ-HhjlmlJM4ba4/images/deep-dives/phone-app-in-depth/02-jordan-trial-line.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=hBQ-HhjlmlJM4ba4\&q=85\&s=5b2e1e5ff5107c5b02a15d84a3557e67) Jordan Park, Premier trial: the trial line on a phone. Notice Update your billing information beside it. A narrow phone cuts the words short. ## The bottom bar The bar shows three icons with no words: a calculator for the **Profit calculator**, a round button, and a camera for **Photos**. A screen reader calls them "Calculator", "Menu", and "Photos". ![The bottom bar: a calculator icon on the left, a round copper button in the middle, and a camera icon on the right.](https://mintcdn.com/sourcedock/hBQ-HhjlmlJM4ba4/images/deep-dives/phone-app-in-depth/03-demo-bottom-bar.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=hBQ-HhjlmlJM4ba4\&q=85\&s=ed558ba3b6c7b5b671c004daff439a84) Demo login: the bottom bar. Notice three icons with no words: a calculator, the round button, and a camera. The calculator needs the Vault page, and Photos needs the Purchases page. If your login cannot open a side's page, that side is empty. ### The round button A tap fans up to 6 shortcuts over a dimmed page, with the page you are on circled, and **More** last. Until you choose, they follow the website bar's order, with pages you took off the bar last. With the starting page order, they are **Desk**, **Purchases**, **Alerts**, **Vault**, **Scanner**, and **Scout**. ![Six round shortcuts fanned over a dimmed Desk: Desk (circled), Purchases, Alerts, Health, Vault and Scanner, then More, above the bottom bar.](https://mintcdn.com/sourcedock/hBQ-HhjlmlJM4ba4/images/deep-dives/phone-app-in-depth/04-demo-round-button-fan.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=hBQ-HhjlmlJM4ba4\&q=85\&s=a738c25baa4caea2cc4c8b622c005112) Demo login: the round button, tapped. Notice Desk is circled because you are on it, and More is last. The demo keeps Health on its bar, so Health takes a spot here. **More** opens a sheet with, from the top: * Your name, plan, and Amazon line, plus **Switch account** with more than one account. * **Jump or search** (pages, products, orders, and storefronts), then **Choose shortcuts**. * Every other page you can open, except the two on the bar. **Alerts** and **Scout** carry a count; over 99 reads "99+". * **Account**, **Billing & pricing**, and **Connections** (a teammate sees only Account). * **Theme** with **dark** and **light**, then **Docs**, **Discord community**, and **Log out**. ![A sheet with the login's initials, name, plan name and an AMZ check, then Jump or search, Choose shortcuts, and a list of pages: Command desk, Alerts with a count, Account health, Vault, Gate Scanner, Scout, Purchases, and Capital Recovery.](https://mintcdn.com/sourcedock/hBQ-HhjlmlJM4ba4/images/deep-dives/phone-app-in-depth/05-demo-more-sheet.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=hBQ-HhjlmlJM4ba4\&q=85\&s=702d4e7c04ac42d6503ee7e42a77cd76) Demo login: the More sheet. Notice the name, plan and Amazon line at the top, then Jump or search and Choose shortcuts. ### Choose shortcuts On the **Shortcuts** sheet, under **Bottom bar**, **Left** and **Right** each pick any page you can open. The picker calls the starting two **Calculator** and **Photos**, and an empty side reads **None**. Picking the other side's page swaps them. ![A sheet titled Shortcuts: Bottom bar with Left Calculator and Right Photos, the line about picking up to 6 pages, then pages with up and down arrows and switches turned on.](https://mintcdn.com/sourcedock/hBQ-HhjlmlJM4ba4/images/deep-dives/phone-app-in-depth/06-demo-shortcuts-sheet.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=hBQ-HhjlmlJM4ba4\&q=85\&s=7606e3c88a5407c57ea6b6e544a4dab5) Demo login: the Shortcuts sheet. Notice Left is Calculator and Right is Photos, the two the bar starts with. Next it says **Pick up to 6 pages to show when you tap the round button. Every page is still under More.** Your shortcuts come first, with up and down arrows, then other pages with switches. With 6 on, **You have 6. Turn one off to add another.** sits over the rest. Each change saves at once on your login, so every phone matches. A page you cannot open right now keeps its saved place, and a bar side then shows its starting page. ## The phone Desk It is afternoon and your name is Sam, so the Desk opens with "Good afternoon, Sam." Before noon it says morning, and from 6 pm evening. With no first name, the name is left off. The phone Desk never asks you to install the Chrome extension. ### Found for you Say **Needs a look** is \$12.00 on 2 priced units, and **Ready to claim** is \$40.00 on 3 units. The Desk's only sum adds them: \$12.00 + \$40.00 = \$52.00. The line above the tiles reads "You could claim back up to \$52.00". ![The top of a card titled Found for you, with Last 30 days and the line You could claim back up to \$138.00. Under it, a Needs a look tile with \$28.00 and for 3 of 11 units, then a Ready to claim tile with \$110.00 and 9 units, both tagged Now.](https://mintcdn.com/sourcedock/XhVKgFKpg8GH5MpE/images/deep-dives/phone-app-in-depth/07-demo-found-for-you.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=XhVKgFKpg8GH5MpE\&q=85\&s=5e2234e4e24d8e31528b592eaa21c712) Demo login: the top of Found for you. Notice $110.00 ready plus $28.00 needs a look makes \$138.00. Needs a look has an amount for only 3 of its 11 units. 1. **Needs a look**: "\$12.00", "2 units", **Now**, and the foot **Check them**. 2. **Ready to claim**: "\$40.00", "3 units", **Now**, and the foot **File claims**. 3. **Paid back by Amazon**: what Amazon paid back for lost or damaged units, minus what it took back. It is not in the $52.00. If Amazon took back $3.00 more than it paid, it shows "-$3.00", never $0.00. Its foot says **Recovery**. **Now** keeps the claim tiles on today, whatever the card's date menu says; Paid back follows the dates. A US store prints "$", and a Canada store "CA$". * A pile with units but no money shows its units, never \$0.00. Needs a look's small line then says **No amount yet**. * If only some Needs a look units are priced, its small line says so, such as "for 2 of 4 units". * The claim line hides while either tile says **Updating**, or when the two add up to \$0 or less. * A failed load says **Could not load Capital Recovery.** An uncovered store shows **US and Canada only**. With Capital Recovery paused or off your plan, the card is gone. ### Needs you **Needs you** lists up to 3 alerts, then **See more in Alerts** when there are more. Claims Found for you already counts are left out. A quiet day says **Nothing needs you. Good time to go find the next deal.** and **Check Scout**, or **Open Vault** if your login cannot open Scout. If only left-out alerts remain, it says **Nothing else needs you right now.** With Account health turned on for the Desk, its card takes this place. ![A card titled Account health: SourceDock hasn't checked this account yet. SourceDock checks Amazon about every 3 hours, so the first numbers show up soon. Details.](https://mintcdn.com/sourcedock/hBQ-HhjlmlJM4ba4/images/deep-dives/phone-app-in-depth/08-demo-health-card.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=hBQ-HhjlmlJM4ba4\&q=85\&s=49227011770d9439bbb39240b6c2ae10) Demo login: Account health in the Needs you spot, because the demo turns Health on for the Desk. Notice it says SourceDock hasn't checked this account yet. ### The wheel Next comes a card with **Came back to you**, then the wheel: word-free icons for Scout, Gate Scanner, Vault, Purchases, Sales, and Recovery, each opening its page. A copper count is that stage's alerts, and a green count is Scout's new finds or Sales' units sold. The title **SourceDock Flywheel** sits under it, without the website's steps line. ![A green card: Came back to you \$1,572.75, 58% of what you put to work, all time, Sales \$605.00, Net profit +\$106.57, and two chips, 19 alerts and Account health.](https://mintcdn.com/sourcedock/hBQ-HhjlmlJM4ba4/images/deep-dives/phone-app-in-depth/09-demo-came-back-card.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=hBQ-HhjlmlJM4ba4\&q=85\&s=fe3f267a504f00a8555cd17a91cff7ad) Demo login: the Came back to you card. Notice the sales number with the net profit under it. ![A ring of word-free icons around the SourceDock mark, with a copper 13 on the money icon, a green 24 on the up-arrow icon, and a copper 6 on the box icon.](https://mintcdn.com/sourcedock/hBQ-HhjlmlJM4ba4/images/deep-dives/phone-app-in-depth/10-demo-wheel.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=hBQ-HhjlmlJM4ba4\&q=85\&s=9f7eefa407d66dbf3b021c3720c46069) Demo login, on the seed day: the wheel. Notice the copper 13 on Recovery, the copper 6 on Purchases, and the green 24 on Sales. ## Look up a blender Tap the calculator icon. Under the heading **Profit calculator** is the Chrome extension's own profit panel, same words and math. See [Chrome extension](https://docs.sourcedock.io/reference/chrome-extension.md). ### Find the product Paste `https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0EXAMPLE1` or `B0EXAMPLE1` in the box (**Paste a link, ASIN or UPC**) and tap **Look up**. A short link from the Amazon app's Share button works too. On an installed Android phone, the line under the box says **Share an Amazon page to SourceDock, or paste its link here.** An iPhone shows no line. Or tap **Scan a barcode**. It says **Your phone may ask to use the camera. The picture stays on your phone.**, then **Hold the barcode inside the box.** Only the numbers are looked up. On phones that allow it, **Light** turns on the phone's light, and **Type it instead** goes back to the box. ### Find it with a photo Say you hold a toy in a store, and its barcode is torn. Tap **Photo**, beside **Scan a barcode**. Take a picture of the box, with its words showing. * The sheet is called **Find it with a photo**. It says **We send the photo to an AI service to read the words on the box. SourceDock doesn't keep it.** * While it works, it says **Reading the photo...**. * Then it shows what it searched for, like "We looked for: toy rescue truck", and up to 5 Amazon matches with a picture, a title, and a size. * **Tap the one you have.** It opens just like a typed ASIN. A match tagged **Barcode match** was found by a barcode in your photo. None of them right? Tap **Try another photo**. If it can't help, it says **We couldn't find it. Try the barcode.** or **We couldn't read the box. Try another photo, or scan the barcode.** **Photo** is on the phone app you installed to your home screen. It needs your Amazon store connected: without it, you see **Connect your Amazon store to find products by photo.** You get 100 photos a day. After that, it says "You've used today's 100 photos. Scan the barcode or type it." **Recent lookups** keeps your last 10 products in this browser, for this login, sending nothing away. Before your first lookup it is a bare heading. ### The settings The panel reads your account's profit settings, set in **Account** > Features. They start as: **Prep per item** \$0.00, **Sales tax on cost (%)** 0, **Months in storage** 1, **Use peak storage fees** off, **Inbound placement** **Minimal shipment splits**, **Inbound shipping per lb** not set (your store's rate from recent boxes can apply), **Lowest ROI you want (%)** 30, **Lowest profit you want** \$5.00, and **Sale price used for profit** **Buy Box, FBA sellers only**. For Kitchen Blend you set a clean case: * **Your cost** is \$18.00 (1800 cents), and the blender is not in your Vault. * **Sale price** is the Buy Box, \$40.00 (4000 cents), and an FBA seller holds it. Max cost uses the same price. * **Fulfillment** is **FBA**, and **Months in storage** is 0, so storage is left out. * **Inbound placement** is **Amazon-optimized shipment splits (\$0)**, and your store has no recent boxes to Amazon, so placement is \$0. * **Inbound shipping per lb** is \$0.00, so your store's rate is not used. Prep and tax stay at 0. * Amazon quotes a **Referral fee** of \$6.00 and an **FBA fulfillment fee** of \$5.50. The category takes 15% of the whole price, never under \$0.30, and 15% of \$40.00 is \$6.00. There is no closing, other, or low-stock fee. Changing FBA or FBM, or **Months in storage**, in the panel saves it to your account. Prices you type for a product are kept in this browser and come back next time. A missing money figure shows "-". ### Quick info The panel's sections are **Product**, **Quick info**, **Profit calculator**, **Alerts**, **Offers**, and **Variations** (closed until tapped). In **Product**, the **Vault** badge saves the blender with this cost (**Saved to your Vault.** or **We couldn't save it to your Vault. Try again.**). Once it is saved, the badge opens the Vault on it. The + icon opens the form to record a purchase. **Quick info** starts with **Approval**. With your store connected, SourceDock checks by itself: **Approved**, **Needs approval**, **Blocked**, or **Not checked**. If it could not, **Check now** shows, then **Checking...** With no store, it says **Connect your store to check**. Next, one row holds **Sales rank**, **Sold a month** (on the phone, an estimate from the rank, marked "(est)"), and **Max cost**. ![The phone's Quick info: Approval Approved, Sales rank #9,654, Sold a month about 580/mo (est), Max cost \$8.51, Your cost 0.00, Sale price 20.60, Profit \$13.51, Margin 65.6%, ROI a dash, Break-even \$4.71, and FBA picked.](https://mintcdn.com/sourcedock/hBQ-HhjlmlJM4ba4/images/deep-dives/phone-app-in-depth/11-uno-quick-info.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=hBQ-HhjlmlJM4ba4\&q=85\&s=11c8c63a2d943364dad34047ba72254f) Uno card game on the phone, with no cost typed. Notice Approved, the (est) after Sold a month, and the ROI dash. **Max cost** is the most you can pay for one item and meet both goals, so it ignores your $18.00. Amazon keeps $6.00 + $5.50 = $11.50, leaving $40.00 − $11.50 = $28.50, or 2850 cents. The $5.00 goal allows 2850 − 500 = 2350 cents. The 30% goal, on the price you pay, allows 2850 ÷ 1.30 = 2192.3 cents, cut to 2192. The lower wins, then whole cents are checked: at $21.93, profit is $6.57, about 29.96%, under 30%. At $21.92, profit is $6.58, about 30.02%. **Max cost** shows "\$21.92" in green. A cost above it turns the cell yellow. **Your cost** shows \$18.00, and a blank box reads 0.00. For a product in your Vault, the Vault's cost fills it until you type over it. **Sale price** shows the Buy Box, else the lowest FBA price, else the lowest FBM price. Type another price, and a button such as "Buy Box \$40.00" puts it back. An emptied box fills again when you leave it. Then four figures: * **Profit**: 4000 − 600 − 550 − 1800 = 1050 cents, so "$10.50". With a $0.00 cost it would be "\$28.50". * **Margin**: profit over the sale price. 1050 ÷ 4000 × 100 = 26.25, shown as "26.3%". * **ROI**: profit over the price you pay. 1050 ÷ 1800 × 100 = 58.33, shown as "58.3%". A \$0.00 cost shows **—**, and only the profit goal colors the numbers. * **Break-even**: the lowest sale price with $0 profit at your cost. At $27.65 the referral is $4.15, and $27.65 − $4.15 − $5.50 = $18.00. At $27.64 the referral is still $4.15, 1 cent short. So it shows "$27.65". A product in your Vault also uses its row's own placement choice, **Prep Cost**, and **Shipping Cost**. It reads ROI the way its Vault row says: Total Cost divides by cost plus prep, placement, inbound shipping, and tax, and Sell Price divides by the sale price, like **Margin**. ### The Profit calculator section This section repeats Quick info's numbers as rows, adding **Fulfillment**, **Months in storage**, **Total fees**, **Break-even price**, and **You get**. **Profit**, **ROI**, and **Margin** are green: profit is over $0, at least $5.00, and ROI is at least 30%. Under a goal they turn yellow, and a loss turns red. A \$0 profit stays plain unless it is under a goal. Open **Total fees**: | Line | Amount | | - | - | | **Referral fee** | "\$6.00" | | **FBA fulfillment fee** | "\$5.50" | | **Inbound shipping** | "\$0.00" | | **Prep** | "\$0.00" | | **Sales tax** | "\$0.00" | | **Total** | "\$11.50" | | **You get** | "\$28.50" | **You get** is $40.00 − $6.00 − $5.50 = $28.50. It takes off Amazon's fees, storage and low-stock included, but not your cost, prep, placement, inbound shipping, or tax. **Profit** is You get minus those: $28.50 − $18.00 = \$10.50. * **Storage fee**: cubic feet times Amazon's monthly rate, month by month. October to December use the peak rate, and **Use peak storage fees** uses it every month. The months box takes 0 through 36; a bad entry snaps back. * **Inbound placement fee**: with recent boxes (US stores), what Amazon charged per unit on them, whatever option you picked. Without, Amazon-optimized is \$0 and the others use Amazon's highest listed rate, marked **estimated**. * **Low-stock fee**: only while Amazon's test says stock is under 28 days of supply. It is part of Amazon's fulfillment charge, so it lowers Profit and You get. * **Closing fee** and **Other sale fees**: only when Amazon's quote splits them out and they are over \$0. Otherwise the referral line can hold a closing fee. * **Sales tax**: your cost times your percent, rounded to the cent. ### When the numbers wait Profit stays "-" until the price, fees, and every cost turned on are known, and a line under Quick info says why: * No sale price: such as **Nobody is selling this new on Amazon right now. Type a sale price.** **Max cost** says **Needs a price**. * Your own per-pound rate and no weight: a **Weight (lb)** box and **Type the weight (lb) to add inbound shipping**. **Max cost** says **Needs weight**. * No size for storage: **No size for this product, so storage can't be added. Set Months in storage to 0 to leave it out.** * No size for placement: **No size for this product, so the placement fee can't be added.** Pick Amazon-optimized to leave it out. A line with no amount makes **Total** "-". If no cost meets both goals, **Max cost** says **Below your goals**. With no store connected, there is no Amazon price, so the line reads "Connect your store to see Amazon's price, or type a sale price." After you type a price, the panel says **Estimated fees** and offers **Connect your store for exact fees**. ### FBM and Offers Tapping **FBM** adds a **Your shipping** box. Blank, it uses the FBM shipping saved in SourceDock. With none saved, it says **Not counted**, and profit uses \$0 shipping. The sale price is the lowest offer from a seller who ships it. **You get** is the sale minus the referral and closing fees and your shipping. On a Canada or Mexico store, FBM profit is in that store's own money, like CA\$. **Offers** lists live sellers, cheapest first, under **Seller**, **Price**, **Profit**, and **ROI**, with your cost and goals: red for a loss, yellow under a goal, green otherwise. Tap a seller's FBA or FBM badge to read about them. Another seller's tip ends with **Open this store on Amazon**. Offers can also say **Connect your store to see live offers**, **SourceDock couldn't load the live offers.**, or **Amazon shows no live offers**. Tap **Show stock** to see how many units each seller has. Nothing loads until you tap. ![An Offers list of 8 offers with a Stock column: 11, 13, 33, 34, 4, 37, 20 and 40. Under it: About 192 in stock across 8 sellers, and Stock as of 8:00 AM.](https://mintcdn.com/sourcedock/nmCNTrWjl5xtsYgv/images/deep-dives/phone-app-in-depth/14-mug-show-stock.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=nmCNTrWjl5xtsYgv\&q=85\&s=ead0fbf53d545510b3046e6b0883322d) YETI mug: Offers after Show stock on a phone. Notice the Stock column and the total under it. ## Photos and receipts Tap the camera icon. **Purchase Orders** lists your 20 newest orders that are not cancelled, under a search box that says **Product, ASIN or order number**. The blender row shows the picture, the name, and "Oct 22 · 6 units". A product with no name yet shows its ASIN and a copy icon. ![A page titled Purchase Orders with a search box that says Product, ASIN or order number, then two order rows with real product pictures: Ty Beanie Babies Chilli (Mum) with Oct 29 · 6 units, and a Pokémon Charmander plush with Oct 24 · 20 units.](https://mintcdn.com/sourcedock/8PUze6LG7n0Qm5NA/images/deep-dives/phone-app-in-depth/12-chilli-purchase-orders.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=8PUze6LG7n0Qm5NA\&q=85\&s=fc1a978cfeeb945c5eabf64a505bcf9c) Ty Chilli plush order, 6 units, the day before the seed day: Purchase Orders, the page the camera icon opens. Notice each row shows the picture, the name, then the day and the units. A tap opens a sheet titled **Receipts and photos**: **Receipt** and **Box & prep**, each with a count once the order has files, such as "1 receipt". ![A sheet titled Receipts and photos with the Chilli plush's picture, name, ASIN B0DQWLP435, Five Below, the order number and Oct 29, then two big buttons, Receipt and Box & prep.](https://mintcdn.com/sourcedock/8PUze6LG7n0Qm5NA/images/deep-dives/phone-app-in-depth/13-chilli-receipts-and-photos.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=8PUze6LG7n0Qm5NA\&q=85\&s=2185ffefe42f3c1cf9ae14b7f5bda446) Ty Chilli plush order: the sheet a tap opens. Notice the two big buttons, Receipt and Box & prep. **Receipt** opens **Add receipt**, with a back arrow. **Take photo** opens the back camera, and **Choose photo or file** takes a photo or a PDF. Each file saves once picked. A photo over 25 MB is first redrawn as a smaller JPEG, from a 4096 px long edge down, until it fits; a PDF is not. **Done** goes back. **Box & prep** opens **Box photos**. Tap **Take photos**. A tile says **Saving...**, then **Saved**, and a line such as "1 photo saved to this order" counts them. An order holds 20 files in all, receipts and photos together, each at most 25 MB and not empty. At 20 the page says **This order has 20 files. Delete one on Purchases to add more.** A skipped file brings a toast titled **Some files were skipped** (receipts) or **Some photos were not saved** (box photos). An oversize or empty file adds **Each file must be under 25 MB and not empty.** A saved tile's small x asks **Remove this receipt?** or **Remove this photo?** **Remove** deletes it, and **Cancel** keeps it. If the delete fails, the tile stays and the toast says **We could not remove that receipt** or **We could not remove that photo**, then **Please try again.** A teammate who can only view Purchases gets no x, and sees **You can view Purchases but not change them, so you can't add photos.** On **Purchases**, the round + also has **Add receipt**, right after **Record Purchase**. ## Lists and detail sheets On the phone, each table becomes a list, driven by the website's filters, sort, and pages, with the website's own figures. ### Purchases Purchases groups rows by week, starting Sunday: **This week**, **Last week**, then "Week of Oct 5". It shows this list in a phone's browser tab too. A row shows the picture, the name, the ASIN with a copy icon (a tap copies and opens nothing), "Oct 22 · 6 units", and the status words. On the right are the cost total, the cost per unit, and the profit, tagged **now**, or **exp.** with no current one. A missing cost says **Cost unknown**, and no known profit shows "-". An order not received 14 days after its purchase date has a red corner, and its sheet says how many days ago you bought it. A tap slides a sheet up with every column of the Purchases table as a line, in its order and with its names. An (i) explains a name with a tap. At the foot are **Add receipt**, **Edit**, and the row's own menu, when you can change the order. The X or the phone's Back closes it. Grouped by ASIN, a product row shows orders, such as "2 orders", and opens on each order, newest first. ### Other pages * **Sales**: a product opens a sheet with every figure column, each with a "?" you tap. * **Vault**: a card per product, with **Import** and **Export** behind "...". A tap shows every column, the alert, **Edit Prospect**, **Price History**, **Record Purchase**, and **Delete**. * **Capital Recovery**: a card per product with ROI, margin, profit on what sold, and P\&L. A tap opens every other figure. ## Alerts on your phone **Alerts** shows a line such as "2 things to look at." under its heading. **SHOW ME** is one menu, starting at **Everything**, where you can tick several choices. Each area, such as **Purchases**, is one row with its count, closed until you tap it. An alert's x hides it, and a toast offers **Undo** for 8 seconds. ### The phone icon Tap the bell. Each row is an area: **Purchases**, **Recovery**, and **Vault** always, and **Scout** and **Health** once they have an alert. The phone icon comes last, after the sound icon. Lit means this area would buzz and a phone is set up; with none set up, all are dim. The first tap on a dim icon asks to allow notifications and saves this device. Later taps turn the area on or off, saved on your login. **Purchases**, **Recovery**, **Vault**, and **Health** start on, and **Scout** starts off. Turning Scout's icon on also turns Scout alerts on; turning it off leaves them. Health also needs Health on your Desk, and stays dim until then. ### What a buzz says Today these alerts can buzz: a Purchases auto-cancel notice, a Recovery restock reminder, a Vault alert you set, and new Scout finds. Other rows stay on the Alerts page. The lock screen title is **SourceDock**. The words are counts only, never a product or a dollar amount, one line per area: | Area | Line | | - | - | | Purchases | "Purchases: 2 things to check." One item says "1 thing". | | Recovery | "Recovery: 1 product to reorder." | | Vault | "Vault: 1 product hit your alert." | | Scout | "Scout: 3 new finds." From more than one store: "Scout: 3 new finds on 2 storefronts." | Lines follow the Alerts order: Purchases, Recovery, Vault, Scout. At most three lines show, so four areas show the first two and "And 2 more." A tap opens the Alerts page. ### How often it can buzz * A burst becomes one buzz: nothing goes until the oldest waiting alert is 5 minutes old. * A buzz carries every waiting alert. Held alerts never expire; they ride the next buzz. An alert the phone service never picked up within 24 hours of firing is dropped. * Your login gets at most 5 buzzes a day, in the time zone of the first phone that turned alerts on. A failed buzz does not count. * Only alerts that fire after your first phone was set up can buzz. A login with no active plan gets none. Scout finds from before Scout alerts were on never buzz. * Vault and Scout share a quiet clock. A buzz with only Vault or Scout alerts waits until 3 hours after the last buzz that carried either. A Purchases or Recovery buzz does not wait, and carries them along. * A held buzz is looked at again in 1 hour, or when the quiet clock opens. ### If the phone said no On an iPhone browser tab, a tap on the icon says **To get phone alerts on iPhone, put SourceDock on your Home Screen: tap Share, then Add to Home Screen. Open SourceDock from there and tap this icon again.** After you block notifications, it says **Phone alerts are blocked for SourceDock on this device. Allow notifications for SourceDock in this device's settings, then tap this icon again.** Where phone alerts are not set up or cannot work, the icon is hidden. ## What the phone app does not have * The Chrome extension. * Letter keys that jump to a page. Use **Jump or search**. * The account picker or a recovered-cash total in the top bar. * Tips that need a mouse resting on a word, such as the panel's break-even tip. Tap tips are the (i) and "?" marks in list sheets and the Offers seller badges. * The panel's settings. Its sections keep their starting order, and the Buy Box pie never shows. * The extension's Seller Central check for a product that needs approval. A teammate sees only the pages the owner shared. ## When a screen is empty or something fails ### The calculator | What happened | What you see | | - | - | | Empty box | **Type an ASIN or UPC, or paste an Amazon link.** | | Not a code or Amazon link | **That isn't an ASIN, a UPC or an Amazon link.** | | Another Amazon site | **SourceDock works with amazon.com and amazon.ca links.** | | An unreadable short link | **This short link hides the ASIN.
