What is ACO (auto checkout)?
ACO stands for auto checkout: a provider runs checkout software on limited releases, such as Pokémon, One Piece, Magic: The Gathering and Disney Lorcana drops, and tries to buy the items each member picked using that member’s details. R4ACO is a marketplace of ACO providers where buyers join free and pay a provider only when it gets them an order.

How ACO works
A provider opens a release before a drop. Members choose the items they want and give their shipping and payment details. When the drop goes live, the provider runs automated checkout on the store and places orders in each member’s name, at the store’s price.

Common questions
What’s an ACO provider?
ACO means auto-checkout. A provider runs checkout software on sold-out-in-seconds releases for their customers. You pick the items and give your details once; they try to buy it for you.
Do I need Discord, bots or any software?
No. Just an email. Everything happens on the website or the iPhone app. Already on Discord? You can sign in with it and get updates there too, but it’s optional.
Is it really free?
Yes. Creating an account, browsing providers, joining one and signing up for releases cost nothing. R4ACO never charges buyers.
Can I use more than one provider?
Yes. One free account works with every provider you join. Switch between them from the top of any page; each keeps its own requests and orders.
