At a glance

A guest can prepare and purchase a website PDF inventory without signing up or signing in. Enter a website and email, review the available checkout and scope, then pay through Dodo Payments. The private report link is the access credential, so anyone holding it can view, download or manage that inventory until expiry.

Review the actual purchase before paying

Preparation checks the entered website and presents the scope saved for that purchase. The price shown at checkout is authoritative. Purchases depend on configured billing availability; the free website scanner remains a separate discovery option.

An eligible coupon belongs in the Dodo Payments checkout. If a discount reduces the amount to zero, complete the provider’s flow and wait for confirmed fulfillment. Entering a code on its own is not evidence that an order is paid or that a scan started.

  1. Enter the public website and checkout email.
  2. Review scope, limits and the one-time price.
  3. Complete the provider checkout, including any eligible discount.
  4. Return to the report and confirm the inventory has entered processing.

The report link replaces a login

The browser can remember the report, but a different browser or device needs its private link. Save that link somewhere trusted. Guest access is not based on knowing the inventory’s visible reference number alone.

Treat the complete private URL like a credential. Share it only with intended collaborators because access can include report downloads and inventory management. Do not use it as a public citation; link to this explanatory resource or the inventory product page instead.

Read the result even when payment succeeded

A successful purchase starts bounded processing; it does not guarantee that the website serves every document to a crawler. Retrieval refusals, passwords, damaged files and discovery gaps can produce partial results. The report separates those outcomes from payment status.

Optional email helps you return after an attempt ends, including an interrupted attempt. Keep the private link as a second route because mail-provider acceptance does not guarantee inbox delivery. A guest inventory is a count-and-planning workflow, not document remediation or an accessibility certificate.
