### Accounts

All checkouts will be using Guest checkout so accounts are not needed. If accounts are required for purchases in the future, we'll look into adding account support

### **Preliminary Checklist**

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

### **Profiles**

### **Proxies**

> * **ISP proxies** – Recommended for some of your tasks
> * **Residential proxies** – Recommended for majority of your tasks
>   * Save both proxy groups under the **Proxies tab** in Stellar.

* What **Mode** do I use?
  * **Monitor mode** will only monitor your desired items. When an item restocks, your monitor mode tasks will ping your running watch tasks (Normal mode) tasks to atc and checkout
  * **Normal mode** is your normal checkout mode task
* What does **Profile** mean?
  * Select a **Profile** you want to use and that profile information will be used when checking out items
* What type of **Proxies** should I use?
  * ISPs and residentials will both work
    * If you're looking for proxies, check out [Stella Proxies](https://help.stellaraio.com/stellar/getting-started-with-stellaraio/stella-proxies) for high quality ISP and Residential proxies
* Where do I find **URL**?
  * Every product will have it's own unique Product URL. Ex. <https://www.booksamillion.com/p/Panini-Donruss-Optic-Football-Blaster/Panini/F746134146039>
* What is **Max Price**?
  * Input the max price of the product you're wanting to purchase (If retail cost for one qty is $29 you can put 35 here as a safe buffer)
    * Max price field is only for one QTY regardless of how many you're wanting to purchase
* What is a good **QTY** to use?
  * A good default to use is 1, but if the listing on the site allows for multiple in one cart then feel free to increase the QTY. You can find out product Max Qty from your [cookgroup](https://guides.stellaraio.com/stellar/getting-started-with-stellaraio/cook-groups)
* What **Delays** should I use?
  * Experiment between 4000 - 6000
* What is **Reset Delay** and what should I use?
  * **Reset Delay** is the time in ms your monitor mode tasks will restart and monitor the product again after it catches a restock
    * Around `5000` is OK
* What is **Watch Task?** box?
  * **Watch tasks** and **non-watch tasks** are different
    * **Non-watch tasks** will be monitoring the site, which means that it will be using proxies. When a product restocks, this same task will atc and checkout
    * **Watch tasks** are "watching" your **Monitor Mode** tasks waiting for a product you're running for to restock. Your **watch tasks** will add to cart and checkout when its pinged from a **Monitor Mode** task
  * Your Monitor mode tasks will ping/notify your running Normal mode watch tasks when the product has restocked so they'll attempt to atc and checkout
* What is **Use Rakuten?** box?
  * Follow the [Rakuten guide](https://help.stellaraio.com/stellar/navigating-stellaraio/what-is-the-settings-tab/how-do-i-set-up-rakuten-cashback) to set it up and check this box to earn cashback on eligible purchases
