After installing: start here
The panel shows the same four steps as a checklist under Trade › Targets.

- Press Start and watch the first buys in Activity.
Installed the zip before? Switch to the store
- Remove the old copy: open
chrome://extensionsand click Remove on SnipeBid (the one marked Unpacked). Two copies at once would both run. - Add SnipeBid from the Chrome Web Store.
- Activate your key once more. Your settings, targets and filters load back from your account automatically.
Manual install (if you can't use the store)
- Download SnipeBid.zip and unzip it (Windows: right-click → Extract All; Mac: double-click).
- Put the
SnipeBidfolder somewhere it can stay, for example in Documents. Chrome loads SnipeBid from this folder, so don't delete or move it later. - Open
chrome://extensionsand turn on Developer mode in the top right corner. - Click Load unpacked and select the
SnipeBidfolder (the one that containsmanifest.json). - Pin it and activate your key in the web app, as above.
Update a manual install
From the Chrome Web Store, SnipeBid updates itself. A manual install shows Update available in the panel when a new version is out. Your license, settings, targets and filters are kept.
- Stop the bot, then click Download in the panel (or download here) and unzip it.
- Replace the old folder: move the new
SnipeBidfolder to where the old one is (e.g. Documents) and choose Replace.Windows: Replace the files in the destination. Mac: Replace, not Keep both. - Click Reload SnipeBid in the panel. SnipeBid restarts and the web app reloads with the new version. (Or press ⟳ on SnipeBid in
chrome://extensionsand refresh the web app.)
Keep the same folder location. If you load a copy from a different folder, Chrome treats it as a new extension: just activate your key again and your cloud settings load back in.
Troubleshooting
- “Manifest file is missing or unreadable”
- You selected the wrong folder. Pick the folder that directly contains
manifest.json. After unzipping on Windows it can be one level deeper (SnipeBid\SnipeBid). - Chrome shows “Disable developer mode extensions”
- You're using the manual install. Switch to the Chrome Web Store version and the message goes away.
- Two SnipeBid panels or double actions
- Both the store version and an old manual copy are installed. Remove the one marked Unpacked in
chrome://extensions. - The panel says “The extension was updated”
- The tab is still running the old version. Click Reload page.
- Update installed but the version didn't change
- The files probably went into a different folder (e.g.
SnipeBid 2). Delete that copy, replace the original folder and press ⟳ on SnipeBid inchrome://extensions. - Asked for my license key again
- Chrome sees a new extension because it was loaded from another folder. Activate your key once; settings, targets and filters load from your account.
