Purchases

When you authenticate your Amazon account with DNA, it gains the ability to make purchases for you on your behalf. To make a purchase, simply tell DNA what you would like to buy and the price range that you want to buy it in.

When DNA finds an item:

When it finds a highly rated item for that price, and you have designated the ability to buy without double confirmation, then DNA will make the purchase and send you confirmation of its delivery details in chat.

If in Settings you’ve designated requiring double confirmation before purchase, DNA will post the link to that item and the reason for buying it in the chat for your final approval.

When DNA finds multiple items:

When it finds multiple highly-rated items for that price, it will post the links along with a short description of why it chose each in the chat, for your opinion. If you tell it to choose, it will select the item that it believes best fits the specifications you’ve provided.

When DNA finds no items:

When it finds no items, it will report back with its findings, along with the reasoning for fetching none of the available options, and ask if you want to a) find the next best option to purchase, b) search the web for other options on alternate buying platforms, or c) change the purchase specs and try again.

Repeat Purchases

You can instruct DNA to re-purchase a previously purchased item by telling it to go to your Amazon purchase history, find that item, and buy it again. You can instruct DNA to only buy it if it’s the same price, and DNA will report back to let you know if it’s currently in stock.

Recurring Purchases

To set up recurring purchases, simply instruct DNA to buy a certain item on a certain schedule. Make sure to be explicit about how often it should be re-purchased. DNA will then set a background task to make a purchase on a set schedule.

DNA will always send you an order confirmation after making each recurring purchase, and you can see all of your currently active recurring scheduled purchases at any time in Settings.

Purchase Platforms & History

Other buying platforms besides Amazon will be added to DNA in the near future. Every purchase will be saved in your account for tracking, quality assurance, and DNA customer service team troubleshooting if necessary.
