Creating and Configuring Filters

8 min read

Filters define the criteria of the items you want to purchase automatically.

Introduction

Filters are the foundation of Kops. Each filter defines the criteria for an item you want to purchase automatically. The autocop continuously monitors all your active filters and attempts to purchase as soon as a matching item appears.

Accessing the Filters Page

Go to /filters from the sidebar menu.

Creating a Filter

Click on "+ New Filter" at the top right.

The creation modal opens with several configurable sections.

Importing from a Vinted URL

Do you already have a saved search on Vinted? Paste its URL to automatically import the criteria.

Expand the "Import from URL" section
Paste the URL of your Vinted search
Click on "Import"

The following fields are filled automatically: categories, brands, sizes, condition, price, video games.

Filter Configuration

Filter Name

Give your filter a descriptive name (e.g., "Nike Air Max 90 < 80€").

Price

Set a price range in euros.

Min: minimum price (leave empty = no minimum)
Max: maximum price (leave empty = no maximum)

Brands

Search and select one or more brands.

Type the beginning of the brand name in the search field
Select from the suggestions
Repeat to add other brands

Condition

Filter by item condition:

New with tags
New without tags
Very good
Good
Satisfactory
Some parts not working

Sizes

After selecting your categories, choose your sizes from the ones available for those categories.

If you select a video games category, two additional sections appear:

Platform: PS5, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, etc.
PEGI Rating: PEGI 3, 7, 12, 16, 18

Refine your search with keywords in the title or description.

How keyword groups work

The "must contain" fields use a group-based logic:

Within a group: keywords are combined with OR — at least one keyword from the group must be present.
Between groups: groups are combined with AND — every group must match.

Field	Logic	Effect
Title must contain	OR within groups, AND between groups	Each group must have at least one keyword match in the title
Title must NOT contain	OR (one is enough)	Any single keyword present is enough to exclude the listing
Description must contain	OR within groups, AND between groups	Each group must have at least one keyword match in the description
Description must NOT contain	OR (one is enough)	Any single keyword present is enough to exclude the listing

To add a keyword: type the word and press Enter or comma.

Simple & Advanced mode

By default, you start in Simple mode: all your keywords live in a single group (OR between them). This is ideal when you want to match any one of several terms.

Click "Advanced" to switch to Advanced mode, where you can create up to 10 groups separated by AND. Click "Simple" to merge everything back into one group.

Example 1 — Simple mode (OR): you want sneakers from Nike or Adidas.
Title must contain (single group): nike, adidas
Result: listings containing either "nike" or "adidas" in the title will be detected.

Example 2 — Advanced mode (AND + OR): you want Jordan 1 sneakers in both high and mid versions.
Group 1: jordan
Group 2: high, mid
Formula: (jordan) AND (high OR mid)
Result: the title must contain "jordan" and at least one of "high" or "mid".

Example 3 — Blacklist: filter out counterfeits.
Title must NOT contain: replica, fake, counterfeit
Result: listings containing any of these words will be excluded.

Tip — Exact phrases: if you add jordan 1 as a single keyword, the system will search for the exact string "jordan 1". If you add jordan and 1 as two separate keywords in the same group, either one being present is enough to match.

Search is case-insensitive: Jordan and jordan work the same way.

Choose the Vinted zones to monitor. Each zone groups several countries that share the same logistics infrastructure.

Default: Western Europe.

Zone	Countries Included
🇫🇷 Western Europe	France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Belgium, Netherlands, Portugal, Austria, Luxembourg, Ireland
🇵🇱 East & North	Poland, Czech Republic, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Hungary, Romania, Lithuania, Slovakia, Croatia, Greece
🇬🇧 United Kingdom	United Kingdom
🇺🇸 North America	United States, Canada

You can select multiple zones at the same time. The "Select all" and "Clear" buttons allow you to quickly manage the selection.

Tip: If you mainly buy in France, the "Western Europe" zone covers all countries with fast and affordable deliveries.

Saving the Filter

Click on "Create filter" (or "Save changes" for an existing filter).

Enabling and Disabling a Filter

From the filter list, use the toggle on each row to enable or disable a filter without deleting it.

A disabled filter stops working completely: it no longer detects any items and the autocop no longer monitors it.

Enabling Autocop on a Filter

In addition to the activation toggle, each filter has a dedicated autocop toggle. This lets you keep a filter active (it detects items in the feed) while disabling automatic purchasing.

Filter enabled + autocop enabled: items are detected and purchased automatically
Filter enabled + autocop disabled: items are detected but you buy manually
Filter disabled: no detection or purchase

Reminder: Per-filter autocop only works if the global autocop button on the Feed page is also enabled (see Real-time Feed).

Filter Folders

You can organize your filters into folders to group them by topic.

Click on "+ New folder" and give it a name. Drag and drop a filter into a folder from the list. You can also reorganize filters within a folder using drag & drop.

Duplicating and Deleting Filters

Duplicate: Click the Copy icon on a filter row to create an identical copy. Useful for creating variations.
Delete: Click the delete icon on the filter row. A confirmation will be requested.

Mass Import

You can import multiple filters at once via "Mass import" (upload icon). Useful for migrating from another tool or quickly configuring a large number of filters.

Export your filters from the Kops Filter Exporter Chrome extension
Click "Mass import" on the Filters page
Drag and drop the CSV file or click to select it
Review the preview: names, brands, categories, prices, zones are shown
Confirm the import

The CSV file must contain at least a name column. The following columns are automatically recognized:

Column	Description	Example
`name`	Filter name (required)	"Nike Air Max 90"
`search_text`	Search text (main keyword)	"air max"
`catalog_ids`	Vinted category IDs (separated by `\|`)	"4 \| 1206"
`brand_ids`	Brand IDs (separated by `\|`)	"53 \| 14"
`country_ids`	Vinted country IDs (converted to zones)	"16 \| 19"
`size_ids`	Size IDs	"208 \| 209"
`status_ids`	Condition IDs (new, good, etc.)	"6 \| 1"
`price_from` / `price_to`	Price range	"10" / "80"
`autocop`	Enable autocop (`yes`/`no`)	"yes"
`enabled`	Filter active (`yes`/`no`)	"yes"

Limit: 1000 filters maximum per import.
