Quick FAQs
See how HOC access, Discord onboarding, and staff-run ACO fit together before you choose your plan.
What do I get after joining HOC?
Every HOC plan unlocks the complete member stack: staff-run autocheckout (ACO) across most major releases, private Discord, fast monitors, release guides, group buys, multi-category alerts, and hands-on staff support.
When do I connect Discord?
Start checkout with your email. After Stripe payment, connect Discord so the membership is attached to the correct account and server roles can be granted.
Is HOC beginner-friendly?
Yes. Beginners can start with onboarding, guides, alert education, and staff/community support before scaling into more competitive drops, bots, or autocheckout (ACO) submissions.
How do staff-run autocheckout (ACO) windows work?
HOC runs ACO across most major high-demand releases and announces each window inside Discord with the target release, timing, profile instructions, and retailer requirements. Members follow the official submission window and HOC staff handles the checkout setup.
Where should I start?
Start with the Pokémon cook group path if you care about TCG drops, the autocheckout (ACO) path if checkout support is the priority, or the beginner path if you are still comparing paid cook groups and free Discord servers.
Turn research into live alerts
