Add and configure a Vinted account

#Introduction

Autocop only triggers a purchase on an account that is active, verified, with a card and address. This page covers the full lifecycle of a Vinted account in Kops: add, configure, statuses, shipping, groups, troubleshooting.

Before connecting an account, read the safe Vinted account creation guide. Connecting a poorly prepared account can get it banned in under 24 hours.

#1. The Accounts page

Available at /accounts from the side menu.

[Image of the full /accounts page: header, status filters, search, accounts table]

The page has 4 zones:

If your plan limit is reached, the button is replaced by Upgrade plan and shows the remaining quota.

#2. Adding an account

Click + Add account. A modal opens with two tabs: Login (default) and Tokens.

[Image of the add account modal showing the Login / Tokens tabs]

#2.1 Login method (recommended)

The simplest and most robust path: Kops handles Vinted authentication itself, including 2FA.

1. Email — the Vinted account's email (not your Kops email)
2. Password — the Vinted account password
3. Click Log in

Kops validates the credentials against Vinted, retrieves the ID, username, country and avatar, then adds the account.

Two-factor authentication (2FA)

If 2FA is enabled on the Vinted account, a verification step appears:

• A 4-digit code is sent by email or SMS (Vinted picks based on the account's setup)
• The screen displays the masked address or number where the code was sent
• Type the code — verification fires automatically at the 4th digit

Possible errors at login

#2.2 Tokens method

Use this method when login fails (captcha-protected account, geoblock…) or if you'd rather not share your password.

1. Access Token — JWT string starting with eyJ…
2. Refresh Token — optional but strongly recommended. Without it, Kops cannot regenerate the session and the account will go inactive as soon as the access token expires (about 10 minutes).
3. Click Validate and add

Get your Vinted tokens

Install the Chrome extension Vinted Token Finder:

1. Log in on vinted.fr (or .com, .de, etc.)
2. Click the extension icon
3. Copy both tokens with one click

warning Tokens are bound to the session and the device. Copying them from one browser then logging back into Vinted from another invalidates the copied tokens. Grab them right before pasting into Kops.

[Image of the Vinted Token Finder extension open with both tokens visible]

#3. Account statuses

The table shows the current status of each account.

#3.1 Quarantine — details

Kops automatically quarantines an account when Vinted returns a protection signal (rate limit, captcha, behavior flagged as suspicious). The duration depends on the signal and ranges from 30 minutes to 24 hours.

The account becomes active again automatically at the end of the delay. You can also force release via the Release button in the account detail — use carefully: quarantine is exactly what protects you from a ban.

#3.2 Inactive — precise reasons

The Inactive status always hides a specific reason, readable in the account detail:

[Image of the red Inactive banner with reason "Session expired" and Reconnect button]

The Reconnect button opens the same modal as adding, but in reactivate mode: Kops verifies that the new credentials match the same Vinted account as the one being reconnected (otherwise an HTTP 409 "Identity mismatch" error).

#4. The account detail

Click a table row to open the detail modal.

[Image of the account detail modal showing all sections]

It is composed of 5 sections:

#4.1 Identity

• Vinted avatar, username prefixed with the country flag
• Vinted ID (click to copy)
• Email (click to copy) + Email verified check/⚪ indicator
• Phone verified check/⚪ indicator
• Country (FR, DE, IT…)
• Last update time (resync)

#4.2 Credit card

[Image of the credit card tile with a saved card and the Change button]

Without a saved card, autocop will never use this account. Having a valid card isn't enough: for higher speed, prefer a card without 3D Secure authentication (see Buy faster).

#4.3 Shipping address

The address acts both as billing address and as the geographic reference point to compute the nearest pickup point.

#4.4 Shipping preferences

Three modes available, switchable at any time via the Manage button.

[Image of the Shipping preferences modal opened on Pickup point mode]

Contact phone (optional, shared across all three modes) — used at purchase time when Vinted has no phone on file for the account. If left empty, a fallback number is used.

Preferences shared between accounts

If multiple accounts use the same address, they automatically share shipping preferences (mode, priority list, phone). A blue banner warns "Shared with X other account(s)" — any change applies to all of them.

[Image of the blue "Shared with 3 other account(s)" banner at the top of the modal]

#4.5 Team members

List of users in your organization who have access to this account. Shows: email/username, role (owner, admin, member, viewer), assignment date. Empty = nobody else has access.

#5. Account actions

The detail modal footer exposes the main actions.

Delete ≠ ban. Deletion only erases the data Kops stores (tokens, card, address, stats). The Vinted account itself stays intact.

#5.1 Bulk actions

Select multiple accounts via the table checkboxes to enable the bulk action menu:

• Refresh — resync all selected accounts
• Quarantine — group pause
• Release — group release
• Delete — group deletion (with confirmation)

[Image of the bulk actions menu activated after selecting 3 accounts]

#6. Account groups (folders)

Groups let you organize accounts by role, by team member, or by strategy. A group = a colored label.

#6.1 Create a group

From the Groups menu on the Accounts page:

1. Click + New group
2. Type a name (e.g. Sneakers, Vintage, Sarah's account)
3. Pick a color from the palette
4. Confirm

[Image of the manage groups modal with the color palette]

#6.2 Assign an account

From the account detail or via the table row's ⋮ context menu:

1. Click Groups
2. Tick the wanted groups (an account can belong to multiple groups)
3. Confirm

#6.3 Filter by group

The colored pills above the table filter the list. Click to enable a group; click again to disable. Combinable with search and status filters.

#7. Readiness badges

On each table row, compact badges flag the account's readiness:

An account is fully ready only when email, card and address are all set.

#8. Plan limits

The number of connectable accounts depends on your organization's plan. When the limit is reached, the + Add account button becomes Upgrade plan and shows the remaining quota.

#9. Troubleshooting
