# Get started with Depop Automation

Set up Depop Automation in 3 steps. Connect your Depop store with a magic link, turn on Smart Activity, Re-list and Offer to Likers, and check your activity. $15 per month, 7-day free trial.

Depop Automation keeps your Depop store active 24/7. It refreshes your store, relists stale listings so buyers keep seeing them, and sends offers to people who like your items.

{% hint style="success" %}
**Your computer can be off.** Depop Automation runs in PrimeLister's cloud 24/7. You do not need the Chrome extension, an open browser tab or the app running. Closing your browser or turning off your computer or phone does not stop your automations.

## Before you start

| Check                                                        | Why it matters                                                                                                                                                                  |
| ------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **You know the email or username you sign in to Depop with** | You request the magic link with it                                                                                                                                              |
| **You can open the email Depop sends**                       | Depop emails the magic link to you. It works once and expires in 10 minutes                                                                                                     |
| **You copy the link instead of opening it**                  | Clicking the link, or previewing it on iPhone, uses it up. You can copy it on your computer or your phone                                                                       |
| **Two-factor authentication on Depop is off**                | PrimeLister cannot connect your store while 2FA is on. Turn it off in the Depop app before you connect. See [Depop troubleshooting](/depop-automation/depop-troubleshooting.md) |

## Step 1: Connect your Depop store

{% hint style="danger" %}
**Copy the magic link, never click it.** The link works once and expires in 10 minutes. Clicking it, or even previewing it on iPhone, uses it up. On iPhone, tap **Hide preview** first.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Open Shops and click Connect Shop

Go to the [Shops page](https://app.primelister.com/automations/depop/my-shops) in Depop Automation and click **Connect Shop**. The **Connect Depop** window walks you through three steps: **Request link**, **Paste link** and **Confirm**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Request your magic link

Enter the **Email address or username** you sign in to Depop with, then click **Send Magic Link**. Depop emails you a **Log in to Depop** button.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Copy the link from the email

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Do not tap or click the Log in to Depop button.** Opening the link uses it up, and PrimeLister can no longer use it. Copy the link instead.
{% endhint %}

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="iPhone / iPad" %}
On iPhone, long-pressing a link opens a preview, and **the preview uses up your magic link**. This happens in Apple Mail and the Gmail app alike. Turn previews off once, then copy the link.

**1. Turn off link previews (one time only)**

Long-press any link in any email. When the preview opens, tap **Hide preview** in its top-right corner. Your iPhone remembers this.

<figure><img src="https://2392323610-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FQ0VOayfDl9icXhPtyfpP%2Fuploads%2F0jTARb6ErBBrjur6ymUY%2Fdepop-hide-preview.gif?alt=media&#x26;token=1c20e2bf-b9e0-4a2d-b721-bdfe5420c120" alt="Tapping Hide preview on an iPhone email link" width="375"><figcaption><p>Tap <strong>Hide preview</strong> once.</p></figcaption></figure>

**2. Get a new magic link**

The link you previewed is used up. Click **Resend magic link** in PrimeLister.

**3. Copy the new link**

In the new email, long-press the **Log in to Depop** button. No preview opens now. Tap **Copy Link**, then paste it into PrimeLister.

<figure><img src="https://2392323610-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FQ0VOayfDl9icXhPtyfpP%2Fuploads%2FxLmCoRZyvFK5EXJHHcN8%2Fdepop-copy-link-iphone.gif?alt=media&#x26;token=45c8d4a7-4911-4aa3-b7c0-c6774da3a878" alt="Copying the Depop magic link on iPhone and pasting it into PrimeLister" width="375"><figcaption><p>Long-press, <strong>Copy Link</strong>, paste.</p></figcaption></figure>
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Computer" %}
Right-click the **Log in to Depop** button in the email and choose **Copy Link Address**.

<figure><img src="https://2392323610-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FQ0VOayfDl9icXhPtyfpP%2Fuploads%2F1v1wfxAfyNj3cMt5hOHC%2Fdepop-copy-link-computer.gif?alt=media&#x26;token=a32235d5-1c37-4889-b971-fb5f0955a871" alt="Copying the Depop magic link from the email on a computer"><figcaption><p>Copying the magic link on a computer</p></figcaption></figure>
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Android" %}
Long-press the **Log in to Depop** button and choose **Copy link address**.
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Paste the link and click Connect

Paste it under **Paste your magic link**, or click **Paste from clipboard**, then click **Connect**. Connecting usually takes 10 to 20 seconds. Your store then shows as **Connected**.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% hint style="success" %}
**Your account stays safe.** PrimeLister connects with Depop's own magic link, protected with 256-bit encryption. You never share your password and you can disconnect any time. See [Account safety](/getting-started/account-safety.md).
{% endhint %}

### Manage your stores

Your stores show on the [Shops page](https://app.primelister.com/automations/depop/my-shops) with their status.

| You see            | What to do                                                   |
| ------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Connected**      | Nothing. Your automations run                                |
| **Disconnected**   | Reconnect it with a new magic link. Your settings are kept   |
| **Three-dot menu** | Click **Remove Shop** to disconnect a store from PrimeLister |

### Connect more Depop stores

One PrimeLister account can manage several stores, so you never need a second PrimeLister account. To automate a second Depop store, raise the number of stores on your Depop Automation plan, then connect it. Each store gets its own automations and settings.

1. Open **Account > Plans & Billing** and click **Update Plan**. On a free trial, click **Subscribe Now**.
2. Move the **How many Depop shops do you have?** slider to the number of stores you need. The price updates as you move it. Then subscribe.
3. Open the [Shops page](https://app.primelister.com/automations/depop/my-shops) and click **Connect Additional Shops**.
4. Switch between your stores with the store menu at the top right, next to **Help**.

Need more than 10 stores? There is no upper limit. Chat with our team in the [PrimeLister app](https://app.primelister.com) and we add them to your plan.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Depop Automation connects Depop stores only.** Want to automate a Poshmark closet, an eBay store or a Mercari store too? Add that marketplace's automation plan in the same PrimeLister account.
{% endhint %}

## Step 2: Turn on your automations

<figure><img src="https://2392323610-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FQ0VOayfDl9icXhPtyfpP%2Fuploads%2FEjDXNAqTmkznhcvZo4x2%2Fdepop-enable-relist.gif?alt=media&#x26;token=dac75127-057e-4155-b364-8cdc684f52ea" alt="Opening Re-list settings in Depop Automation and clicking Enable"><figcaption><p>Turning on Re-list</p></figcaption></figure>

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Open Automations

Go to the [Automations page](https://app.primelister.com/automations/depop/settings). After you connect, **every automation is off**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Check the settings

Click the gear icon next to an automation to set it up. See [Depop automations](/depop-automation/depop-automations.md) for every setting.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Switch it on

Click **Enable** at the bottom of the settings, or switch its toggle on. The badge at the top changes from **Disabled** to **Enabled**.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## Step 3: Check your activity

<figure><img src="https://2392323610-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FQ0VOayfDl9icXhPtyfpP%2Fuploads%2FYDOTQOfXxJgIb69D78Cs%2Fdepop-activity-filled.gif?alt=media&#x26;token=af13a24f-fba0-4eec-937e-26495af8ed5c" alt="Depop Automation Activity page: Statistics changed from Since Yesterday to Last 7 Days showing Re-list 1,000 and Offer to Likers 61, then Completed filtered to Offer to Likers"><figcaption><p>Checking Statistics and Completed on the Activity page</p></figcaption></figure>

Open the [Activity page](https://app.primelister.com/automations/depop/activity). If tasks show up, your automations are working.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Check the numbers on Statistics

Pick a range from the date menu, for example **Last 7 Days**. Each card shows how many **Re-list** and **Offer to Likers** tasks ran in that range.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### See each task on Completed

Open **Completed** to see every task with the listing, the automation and the date and time. Use the filter to show **All Activities**, **Re-list** or **Offer to Likers** only.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

| Tab            | What you see                                                                                                                                                                                     |
| -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Statistics** | How many Re-list and Offer to Likers tasks ran. Pick **Today**, **Yesterday**, **Since Yesterday**, **Last 7 Days**, **Last 14 Days**, **Last 30 Days**, **Last 365 Days** or a **Custom Range** |
| **Completed**  | Each completed task. Filter by **All Activities**, **Re-list** or **Offer to Likers**                                                                                                            |

{% hint style="info" %}
**Just changed a setting?** Stats may be inaccurate for up to 24 hours after a change.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
**No activity yet?** Re-list runs only in the **Re-listing Hours** you turned on. Offer to Likers sends an offer after someone likes your item and the **Offer Delay** has passed.
{% endhint %}

## Frequently asked questions

<details>

<summary>Do I need to keep my computer or browser open?</summary>

No. Depop Automation runs in PrimeLister's cloud, 24/7. You do not need the Chrome extension, and your automations keep running when your browser, computer or phone is off.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Can I manage my automations from my phone?</summary>

Yes. Download the free PrimeLister mobile app for [iPhone and iPad](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/id6478108527) or [Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=primelister.posh.bot.automation.autoshare.autofollow.autooffer.followback.app) and sign in with your PrimeLister account. Depop Automation runs in PrimeLister's cloud, so you can check and manage your automations from your phone wherever you are. See [Phone, tablet and computer](/getting-started/phone-tablet-and-computer.md#get-the-primelister-mobile-app).

</details>

<details>

<summary>Is Depop Automation included in my Crosslister Tool or Poshmark Automation plan?</summary>

No. Depop Automation is a separate subscription at $15 per month or $144 per year. Each automation product works with its own marketplace, and every PrimeLister product is billed on its own. See [Account and billing](/help-center/account-and-billing.md).

</details>

<details>

<summary>Why does PrimeLister use a magic link?</summary>

A magic link is Depop's own way to sign in without a password. PrimeLister uses it to connect your store, so you never share your Depop password with us.

</details>

<details>

<summary>My magic link says it was already used. What now?</summary>

Magic links work once. If you clicked the button or saw a preview on iPhone, the link is used up. Click **Resend magic link** and copy the new link without opening it. See [Depop troubleshooting](/depop-automation/depop-troubleshooting.md).

</details>

<details>

<summary>Will Re-list remove my likes?</summary>

Yes. Re-list creates a brand new listing on Depop, so likes start from zero. To protect listings that already have likes, turn on **Filter by number of likes** or add them to **Relist Exclusions**. See [Depop automations](/depop-automation/depop-automations.md).

</details>

<details>

<summary>Can I connect more than one Depop store?</summary>

Yes, in the same PrimeLister account. Raise the number of stores with **Update Plan** on **Account > Plans & Billing**, then click **Connect Additional Shops**. See [Connect more Depop stores](#connect-more-depop-stores).

</details>

<details>

<summary>Can I connect my Poshmark closet, eBay store or Mercari store to Depop Automation?</summary>

No. Depop Automation connects Depop stores only. Add Poshmark Automation, eBay Automation or Mercari Automation to the same PrimeLister account for those marketplaces.

</details>

<details>

<summary>How do I pause Depop Automation?</summary>

Switch the automation's toggle off on the [Automations page](https://app.primelister.com/automations/depop/settings), then click **Disable** to confirm. Your settings stay saved for when you switch it back on.

</details>

<details>

<summary>What happens when my free trial ends?</summary>

The trial simply ends and you are not charged. Your store and settings stay in PrimeLister. Subscribe any time to continue. See [Free trial](/getting-started/free-trial.md).

</details>

**Need help?** See [Depop troubleshooting](/depop-automation/depop-troubleshooting.md) or chat with our team in the [PrimeLister app](https://app.primelister.com).
