Steam profile public settings for level ups

Which Steam privacy settings affect card set quotes and why private badges delay delivery.

What the bot reads

The bot needs your Steam level, XP and badge progress. Without that, it cannot know which game sets are still useful for your account.

A private profile can make the bot see no readable badges, so the calculator may refuse to quote until the settings are changed.

What the bot does not need

The bot does not need your Steam password, recovery codes, mobile authenticator or email account.

Steam sign in proves account ownership through Steam itself. Delivery uses Steam trade offers, not account access.

After delivery

Once your badges are crafted and your order is complete, you can change your privacy settings again if you want.

For multi-round orders, keep the relevant profile information readable until the final offer has been sent and crafted.
