Explore or previously Quick Picks in TA 1 is designed for speed and simplicity. It’s a faster way to find profitable products since no scan setup is required. It gives you instant access to a curated selection of product leads, pulled from Tactical Arbitrage’s extensive database of pre-scanned results.

In this guide, you’ll learn how to set up your preferences, apply filters, and work through results to find leads worth adding to your workflow.

Overview of Explore

Explore allows sellers to skip the manual scan process and instantly browse profitable product opportunities. Instead of creating a scan, you’re accessing Tactical Arbitrage’s internal database, updated with product data from past scans across multiple sources.

With version 2.0, the feature has been upgraded to:

A refreshed design that matches the Tactical Arbitrage 2.0 Results interface
Offer clearer seller and sourcing information
Provide better product actions like saving to folders or dismissing unwanted items
