ASDA

Complete guide on our Asda Module

Preliminary Checklist

Before setting up tasks on Asda, make sure you have everything below prepared:

Profiles

Create and save your checkout https://guides.stellaraio.com/stellar/navigating-stellaraio/what-is-the-profiles-tab/how-do-i-add-a-profile under the Profile tab in Stellar. These contain your billing, shipping and payment info.

Proxies

• ISP Proxies - Recommended for some tasks - These work really well on Asda if you have unblocked ones, please also ensure they're UK located for speed

• Residential Proxies - High quality residential proxies are also recommended to be ran too just in case ISP's get blocked

  • Save proxy group under the Proxies tab in Stellar

    • Onestop UK pool/ Icey Private v2 are currently working on Asda as of writing this guide

Cook Group Access

Optional but recommended. Your cook group can help you find product URLs, SKUs and early restock alerts.

Asda Task Overview

Normal Mode (Shipping/Delivery)

Collection Mode

Monitor Mode

• What mode do I use?

  • Normal Mode (Shipping) - Use this checkout task for the standard shipping checkout flow.

  • Collection Mode - Use this checkout task when checking out items for in-store collection.

  • Monitor Mode - Used for monitoring stock availability for shipping. This mode will only monitor stock and wake your watch tasks when the item becomes available.

• What does Profile mean?

  • Select the profile you want to use, and the information stored in that profile will be used during checkout.

• What type of proxies should I use?

  • ISP Proxies - Recommended for some tasks. These perform very well on Asda when using unblocked proxies. For the best performance, ensure your proxies are UK-based.

  • Residential Proxies - High-quality residential proxies are also recommended as a backup in case ISP proxies become blocked.

    • Save your proxy group under the Proxies tab in Stellar before running tasks.

    • Onestop UK Pool, IMMAC ISP and Icey Private V2 are currently working on Asda at the time of writing this guide.

• What payment method should I use?

  • PayPal - PayPal is generally recommended for Asda, as items typically remain reserved in your cart for longer, giving you additional time to complete checkout.

  • Once a successful PayPal checkout link is generated, you will receive a notification in your webhook. Use the Stellar extension to complete the checkout process.

• Credit Card - Credit and debit cards also work on Asda, but can occasionally decline due to profile-related issues. It's recommended to run a mix of card and PayPal tasks to see which method performs best for you.

• How do I find the product SKU?

  • Your cook group will usually provide the SKU in their alerts, but it can also be found in the product URL.

  • Example: https://direct.asda.com/george/home/home-storage/pokemon-2-pack-cube-storage/060155493

    • SKU: 060155493

• What is QTY?

  • The number of items you want to purchase in a single order.

• What is Delay?

  • The time, in milliseconds, that the bot waits before retrying after encountering an error.

    • A good starting point is 3333ms, which can be adjusted depending on your proxy quality and performance.

• What is Postal Code?

  • Your postcode used for store collection tasks. The bot will only attempt to cart stock available near the postcode entered.

• What is Pickup Radius?

  • The maximum distance, in miles, from your postcode that the bot will search for available collection stock.

• What is Monitoring Delay?

  • The time, in milliseconds, between product stock checks.

    • A good starting point is 5000ms, which can be adjusted based on proxy quality and performance.

• What is Reset Delay?

  • The time, in milliseconds, before the monitor task resumes checking for stock after detecting an in-stock item.

    • A good starting point is 5000ms, which can be adjusted based on proxy quality and performance.

• What is a Watch Task?

  • Enable this option on your normal checkout task. The task will remain idle until a monitor task detects stock, at which point it will automatically wake up and begin attempting checkout.

Important Notes

• Declines are usually caused by profile issues or products going out of stock during checkout, regardless of whether you're using Credit Card or PayPal.

• If you encounter phone number, billing, or other profile-related errors, run a test task using PayPal and correct any profile issues before the next release.

• Asda confirmation emails can sometimes be delayed, so don't worry if you don't receive one immediately.

• When testing, only run 1–2 tasks and use PayPal where possible to avoid unexpected charges.

• CF Failed errors are typically proxy-related. Try switching to a different proxy group and restarting your tasks.

• If your email is already associated with an account, then you'll have errors. Make sure your emails are new!

• Loans are normal and are sometimes given by Asda. If you don't receive an email/shipping confirmation, then it's most likely a loan
