Shipping readiness
Understand the Shipping readiness statistic, how it is calculated, why it differs between accounts, and how to improve it.
On this page
Shipping readiness shows how often Vinted already preselects the correct shipping option during an Autocop checkout attempt.
- Pickup delivery: the correct pickup point was already selected.
- Home delivery: home delivery was already selected.
When Vinted has already selected the correct option in its checkout response, Souk can skip an extra checkout update. This can make the purchase faster.
Shipping readiness is separate from pickup-point availability in Souk. If nearby pickup points are missing or too far away, see Autobuy – 1-Click Purchase, under “Pickup points missing or too far away”. For France, the United Kingdom, Spain, Italy and Germany, Souk already contains the full pickup-point network; manual purchases are not required to make local points appear.
How is it calculated?
The statistic is calculated separately for each Vinted account.
Formula: correct shipping option already selected ÷ recent Autocop checkout attempts with shipping data.
Example: 29/30 · 97% means that Vinted had already selected the correct shipping option in 29 of the 30 most recent relevant attempts for that account.
Why do my accounts have different percentages?
Vinted may remember shipping preferences separately for each account. One account can therefore receive the correct preselection more often than another.
- Account A:
29/30 · 97% - Account B:
4/30 · 13%
A lower percentage does not necessarily mean the account is broken. It means Vinted has selected the correct option less often for that account during recent Autocop attempts.
Why does this matter for Autocop speed?
Several buyers and services may try to buy the same item at the same time. When the correct shipping option is already selected, Souk can skip one checkout update. If it is not selected, Souk may need an additional step, which can add time.
How can I improve shipping readiness?
Make a few manual purchases with the Vinted account that has a low percentage, using the delivery method you want Souk to use.
- For pickup delivery, choose the pickup points you want to use.
- For home delivery, select home delivery during checkout when it is available.
Over time, this may help Vinted select the correct option more often for that account. Shipping readiness is account-specific, so use the same account whose statistic you want to improve.
Note: this only affects the preselection statistic. It is not required to make nearby pickup points appear in Souk; see the Autobuy guide for that.
What does “No shipping data” mean?
Souk does not yet have enough recent Autocop checkout attempts with usable shipping data for this account. This does not necessarily mean the account is broken.
Common reasons include:
- the account has not had recent Autocop checkout attempts;
- recent attempts did not reach the shipping-selection step;
- the item or checkout did not provide usable shipping data;
- the account was recently added or has little recent purchase activity.
Does a low percentage prevent purchases?
No. A low percentage only means Souk may need an additional checkout step because Vinted does not often preselect the correct option for that account. The account can still work, but it may be slower in competitive situations.
Is this the same as account readiness?
No. Basic account readiness checks whether the account has the required setup, such as a valid session, a verified email when required, a shipping address and a payment method.
Shipping readiness measures checkout performance: whether Vinted has already selected the correct shipping option during Autocop attempts.
Summary
- Higher percentage: Souk can more often skip an extra checkout step.
- Lower percentage: Souk may need an extra checkout step.
- No shipping data: the account does not yet have enough recent usable data.
