Our Canon US & CA module supports guest checkout and is designed for monitoring and purchasing high-demand Canon products that frequently restock in limited quantities. Because Canon drops often occur without notice and require captcha solving at checkout, Stellar uses a monitor-to-checkout workflow, watch task logic and flexible proxy support to help secure items efficiently. This module is best suited for cameras, lenses, accessories and limited-stock Canon products across both the United States and Canada.

  * **Normal mode** is your normal checkout mode task (guest checkout)
* 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. Ideally you'd want to use ISPs for monitor mode and residentials for normal mode

  * Delay: (normal mode) Expeirment around 3000
  * Reset Delay: 10000 or less

* 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
