FAQ

The practical questions buyers ask before handing over Amazon Ads.

This page exists for the questions that are too important to hide inside the homepage. Safety, migration, small-account fit, trials, and how ARCTAVIA differs from dashboard-only tools all live here.

Getting started

What you need before the trial actually begins.

What is the difference between Standard and Pro?

Standard reviews daily, and changes are either approved by you or applied within caps. Pro reviews hourly and unlocks every operating mode, including autopilot. Both are free for 30 days after connecting Amazon.

What changes are automated vs approved?

Arctavia prepares routine reviews, recommendations, and change drafts continuously. Material changes stay in the approval path before release.

How long does setup usually take?

For most accounts the initial connection is minutes, not days. The deeper work is deciding which goal to protect first and which campaign to start with.

Automation, safety, and control

The difference between useful autonomy and reckless changes.

Do I need to connect my whole Amazon Ads account?

No. You can start with one campaign, review the changes Arctavia drafts, and expand only after the workflow makes sense for your account.

How long until I see useful signal?

Use the trial to review proposed changes, waste reduction opportunities, and early KPI movement. Arctavia does not promise a fixed result.

How is this different from Pacvue or Perpetua?

Arctavia is Amazon-first, flat-fee, and built around a review loop that combines proposals, approval gates, and post-change verification. It is not positioned as a broad enterprise commerce suite.

Is Amazon Ads automation actually safe for real accounts?

It is safe only if the product treats safety as a first-class system. ARCTAVIA runs guardrails, approval boundaries, logging, and post-action verification inside the same loop, instead of treating them as an afterthought.

What is the difference between bid automation and full ad ops automation?

Bid automation changes one lever. Full ad ops automation coordinates bidding, keyword curation, budget movement, approvals, and verification as one operating loop. That is the bigger difference in practice.

Pricing and team fit

Who the product fits, and how the commercial model works.

Do I need a credit card?

No. You can begin the trial without a credit card.

Is my data secure?

Amazon API credentials are encrypted, operations are logged, and changes are handled through controlled API-based workflows.

Does this work for smaller accounts?

Yes. The product is designed to start with one campaign, so smaller sellers do not need to commit the full account from day one.

Why does flat pricing matter so much?

Because software that becomes more expensive every time ad spend grows can quietly tax success. Flat pricing keeps the economics easier to understand and defend.

Proof, migration, and evaluation

How to compare, what proof exists, and how to evaluate a switch.

When does the free trial start?

The 30-day trial starts when you connect Amazon Ads, not when you first visit the site or create a login.

Can Arctavia change budgets or bids without limits?

No. Budget caps, bid caps, approval gates, and anomaly checks keep the system inside defined boundaries.

What proof should I look at first?

Start with the Iris Japan case study because it is the easiest public example to review. If you need more context, the UK reference pack is available separately.

How should I compare ARCTAVIA to Pacvue or Perpetua?

Compare the daily operating loop, not only the dashboard. Ask what the workflow prepares every day, how much remains inspectable, and how pricing changes when the account gets bigger.
