Scout watches Amazon storefronts you pick. A storefront is one seller’s list of products. Once a day Scout pulls that list and compares it to the last one. Anything new lands in your feed. You can save a find to the Vault or mark it as seen.
Scout page with four stat tiles, a search bar with New and Acknowledged tabs, storefront cards, and a list of finds

Scout. The watchtower on top, watched storefronts on the left, fresh finds on the right.

​
Watch a storefront

Watch a storefront sheet with a link box, an Add button, a staged row with a name field and product count, and a Track button

The Watch a storefront sheet with one storefront staged and named.

1

Open the sheet

Click Watch a storefront at the top right. The same button sits under the storefront cards.
2

Paste the link or seller ID

Put an Amazon storefront link or a seller ID in Storefront link or seller ID. A seller ID starts with the letter A. Click Add. The button reads Checking… while Scout finds the seller, or Still checking if that takes a while.
3

Name it

The storefront drops into a list below with its seller ID and product count. Type a name in Name this seller. You can add more storefronts before you track any.
4

Track

Tick the rows you want and click Track 2. A toast reads Storefront added to Scout. The first check runs in the background.
If the link is not valid, the hint reads Use an Amazon storefront link or a seller ID starting with A. If your plan is full, it reads Tracking 5 of 5. Remove one to add another. Closing the sheet drops the staged list.

​
The watchtower

Four tiles labeled Watching, New finds, Checks today, and Next sweep

The four watchtower tiles.

Under the tiles a LIVE ticker scrolls one pill per storefront. Each pill shows the name and a state such as +3 new, clean, or pending. It also shows the next check countdown and the time since the last check.

​
Storefront cards

Each storefront you watch is a card under Under watch. It shows the name, a 3 new pill when there are unreviewed finds, the seller ID, and the product count. Before the first pull it reads first catalog pull pending. The card that is next in line wears a Next sync ribbon. Click a card to show only that storefront’s finds. Click it again to show all. The bottom of the card shows the check state and a countdown. The three-dot menu on a card has three items.

​
The feed

The right side is Fresh finds. A pill shows the count, such as 12 unreviewed. The New tab shows finds you have not reviewed. The Acknowledged tab shows finds you marked as seen, so nothing is lost.
Scout feed on the Acknowledged tab with Restore buttons on each find

The Acknowledged view.

Each find shows the image and the title as a link to Amazon. Under that sit the ASIN, the brand, and which storefront it came from. To the right are the price and how long ago it was found. A find under 15 minutes old wears a just found tag. Click the ASIN to copy it. The feed shows eight finds at a time. Click the line at the bottom, such as 20 more - load as you triage, to see more.

​
Search, notify, and export

The search box reads Search storefronts. Type part of a name or seller ID to filter both the cards and the feed. The Notify switch is on by default. It shows a notice at the top right of any page when the unreviewed count goes up. It reads something like 3 new products on 2 storefronts. Click it to open Scout, or click the X to dismiss it. The switch is saved in this browser only. The arrow next to Watch a storefront opens a menu with Export new items and Export acknowledged. These download finds from every storefront. Use the card menu to export one storefront.

​
How often Scout checks

Every plan checks each storefront once a day. A few rules shape the timing. A very large storefront cannot be pulled in full. Its feed reads Too big to check in full with the product count. New products on it may be missed.

​
Plan limits

If you watch more than your plan allows, nothing is removed. A notice reads Nothing was removed - some of it just is not being refreshed. The newest storefronts up to your limit keep being checked. The rest stay on the list but are not checked. If your subscription is not active, the page shows one card: Scout needs an active plan. Your tracked storefronts come back as they were when you restart it.
