Quick start
New to Apilot? Start with guided onboarding.
Create a free workspace, follow the first-run setup, then use topic help as you add products, sellers, keywords, alerts, and billing details.
FAQ
How do I add a product to Apilot?
Use the Products area to add an Amazon ASIN or Amazon product URL directly. You can also turn monitored catalogue items into tracked products from the catalogue workflow when monitoring is enabled for that item.
What happens right after I add a product?
Apilot queues the first background bootstrap so product details, offer state, and any supported history sources can load without waiting for the regular refresh cadence.
Why can a newly added product still look incomplete for a short time?
Heavy background sources such as full offer extraction or historical reference data may still be running. The product page should stay usable while those jobs finish.
What kinds of products can I track?
Apilot is Amazon-first for direct tracked products. You can also add eBay items and Walmart US items into the Products workspace as external catalog items, then enable monitoring on them inside the same workflow.
How does guided onboarding work?
Your first login launches the onboarding wizard automatically. It walks through adding your first product, reviewing the result, and setting up a watchlist. If you skipped steps or want to restart, the link is available from Account settings.
Does Apilot refresh every tracked product independently?
For Amazon products, same-market tracked items now reuse shared bootstrap and refresh caches by ASIN plus marketplace. One fresh fetch can update every matching workspace record.
Which marketplaces are supported?
Amazon is still the deepest monitored-product surface. eBay and Walmart US can now also be added as external Products catalog items, while feature depth such as seller tracking, historical references, and keyword workflows still varies by marketplace.
Why can Apilot numbers differ from Amazon reports?
Amazon should remain the source of truth for settlement, payout, and fee reconciliation. Apilot is strongest at monitoring state changes, refresh timing, seller movement, and operational comparison workflows; third-party or cached data can lag behind Amazon's own reports.
How quickly should a refresh appear?
Manual or scheduled refreshes usually surface core changes quickly, but heavier offer extraction, marketplace comparison, or history sources can continue in the background. Jobs and product detail pages will show when work is still running.
What does the help drawer capture automatically?
The in-workspace flow captures the current page URL, title, browser context, and an optional page snapshot so operator review starts with concrete evidence.
What does Keyword Explorer do?
Keyword Explorer stores seed phrases, runs background SERP scans, and shows competition signals such as title density, sponsored density, and top-result coverage before you save or track those keywords.
What are ASIN Keywords and Gap Analyzer for?
ASIN Keywords uses a candidate-pool approach to find phrases where a tracked product already appears in saved SERP data. Gap Analyzer compares multiple tracked products to show shared phrases, phrases missing from the focus product, and phrases unique to one product.
How does keyword tracking work?
Tracked keywords link a keyword to a monitored product and record organic or sponsored rank observations over time. The tracker stores observations, next scan timing, and keyword movement events so you can review changes in one place.
How do I change or cancel my paid plan?
If the workspace already has an active Stripe subscription, use Customer Portal from the Billing page to change plan, update payment details, or cancel at period end. Self-serve billing currently applies to the paid Growth and Scale tiers.
Does cancelling a plan delete my workspace data?
No. Cancelling billing changes subscription access and feature availability, but it does not immediately delete tracked records, tickets, or operational history. Data retention and deletion should be handled deliberately, not as a side-effect of cancelling a plan.
Do you offer refunds?
Refund handling should be treated as an operator-reviewed billing request. If a refund window is offered, it is safer to assume it applies to the initial charge and not automatically to renewals unless Billing or Support states otherwise for your workspace.
How do I request account deletion?
Open a support ticket and explicitly request account deletion. Apilot should handle deletion or anonymisation in a controlled way that respects legal retention, billing records, and operational audit requirements instead of silently removing everything immediately.
Can I delete my free account without contacting support?
Free accounts do not have a self-serve deletion flow. Open a support ticket and request deletion. There is no billing to cancel first — the request is handled directly.
What personal data does Apilot store?
Apilot stores your email address, account credentials, tracked product data, watchlists, support tickets, and operational audit history. Full details are in the Privacy Policy at apilot.co/privacy. To request a copy or deletion of your data, open a support ticket.
Where do I control alert and report delivery?
Account settings manage immediate alerts, daily and weekly executive reports, and scheduled export delivery.
How do I manage which alert events I see?
The Alerts page shows unread events by default. Use the Dismiss button on any event to mark it as handled without deleting it. A link in the card header lets you toggle between the default view (unread only) and a combined view that also shows dismissed events.
What are alert rules and how do I set them up?
Alert rules define the conditions that trigger events — price changes, seller movements, stock changes, and similar signals. Rules are configured per tracked product from the product detail page or from the Alerts rule settings area. You can pause, edit, or delete individual rules without affecting the tracked product itself.
Can I hide specific items from the dashboard needs-attention widget?
Yes. Each item in the needs-attention widget has a Snooze 7d button. Clicking it hides that item from the widget for seven days without changing any alert rules or refresh settings. After seven days the item reappears automatically if it still meets the attention criteria.
How do I remove multiple products from a watchlist at once?
Open the watchlist detail page and use the checkboxes next to each product or seller row. Select the ones you want to remove, then click Remove selected at the bottom of the list. The action only removes items from the watchlist — it does not delete the underlying tracked products.
How do replies work?
Replies stay visible inside the workspace ticket thread and are also mirrored by email. Inbound email replies are intentionally out of scope for this launch slice.
What should I include in a support ticket?
Include the affected page, ASIN, seller ID, marketplace, and the exact behaviour you expected versus what you saw. The help drawer already captures page context automatically, so the most valuable extra detail is the exact object or workflow that needs review.
