Connecting Stripe

When you join AutoCart, the first step is to connect your own Stripe account. This ensures all payments go directly to you. AutoCart never holds your funds. Stripe processes the transaction and we manage the checkout flow and order data.

Account Security

AutoCart uses Supabase with row-level security (RLS), meaning your data is completely isolated. No other seller can ever see your products, orders, or customer information.

Steps

1. Open your AutoCart Dashboard and navigate to Products.
2. Click New Product and give it a name and price.
3. Provide the Supplier URL — the exact AliExpress, Amazon, or other supplier page where you source the item.
4. AutoCart instantly generates a unique, secure checkout link for that product.

Your Checkout Link

Each product gets a unique Stripe-powered checkout URL in the format:

https://checkout.autocart.app/p/your-product-id

Share this link anywhere, no storefront needed.

How it works

Copy your product's checkout link from the dashboard and paste it anywhere. It works perfectly in social media bios, WhatsApp messages, Instagram DMs, or promotional emails. Your customer clicks the link and lands directly on a secure Stripe checkout, no account needed on their end.

Where to share

• Instagram bio or story links
• WhatsApp and Telegram messages
• Email newsletters or promotions
• Facebook posts or groups
• Linktree or similar link-in-bio tools

How it works

If you have your own custom website or landing page, you don't need to write any complex integration code. The Button Picker lets you visually select any button and automatically wire it to your AutoCart checkout.

Steps

1. Install the AutoCart Chrome Extension from the Chrome Web Store.
2. Navigate to your website in Chrome and open the extension.
3. Click Link a Button, then click any "Buy Now" button on your page.
4. The extension generates a tiny script snippet. Paste it just before your site's </body> tag.
5. Done. Your button now routes customers to your secure AutoCart checkout.

Generated Snippet

<script>(function(){var s='#buy-now-btn',u='https://checkout.autocart.app/...';document.querySelector(s)&&document.querySelector(s).addEventListener('click',function(e){e.preventDefault();window.location.href=u;});})();</script>

Step-by-Step

1. View Pending Orders — Open the AutoCart Chrome extension. You'll see a real-time list of all paid but unfulfilled orders.
2. Click Fulfill — The extension automatically opens a new tab to your saved Supplier URL for that product.
3. AutoCart injects a draggable side panel onto the supplier's page, containing the customer's full shipping details.
4. Place the Order — Reference or copy the customer's details from the panel into the supplier's checkout form.
5. Confirm — Click ✓ Confirm Order Placed in the AutoCart panel. The order is marked fulfilled and cleared from your active queue.

What the panel shows

When you click Fulfill, AutoCart injects a sleek, draggable overlay panel onto the supplier's page. It displays:

• Customer full name
• Street address
• City, State, ZIP
• Phone number
• Product name and notes

Supplier Compatibility

Because the fulfillment panel overlays directly onto your browser window, it works universally. AliExpress, Amazon, CJ Dropshipping, or any private vendor site. AutoCart is completely supplier-agnostic.

Order Statuses

What you can track

The AutoCart dashboard gives you an at-a-glance view of the numbers that actually matter for resellers:

• Total orders — all-time and by date range
• Total revenue — sum of paid orders processed through your Stripe account
• Fulfillment rate — percentage of orders fulfilled vs. still pending
• Product performance — see which products are moving and which aren't

How to Export

From the Dashboard, navigate to Orders → Export. You can download your complete order history as:

• CSV — for spreadsheet tools, Google Sheets, or custom analysis
• Excel (.xlsx) — for formatted reporting

Data Privacy

To keep your workspace clean and protect customer privacy, fulfilled orders are automatically purged from AutoCart's active databases after 60 days. Export your data regularly if you need long-term records.
