CanonUK

Complete guide on our Canon UK module

Use the CanonUK module in Stellar 4.0 for the Canon UK storefront. Normal tasks use guest checkout, and Monitor tasks check stock for matching Normal tasks with Watch Task enabled.

Quick Start — Recommended Setup

1. Save your UK checkout profile and proxy groups. Copy the full URL of the product you want from the Canon UK website.
2. Create a CanonUK task group and choose Create Task → normal. Select your profile and checkout proxy group, paste the product URL and set product Qty to 1.
3. Start with the default 3000 ms checkout delay. Leave optional cashback settings off until you have configured the service you intend to use.
4. For restocks, create a monitor task for the same URL and enable Watch Task on Normal. Start both tasks. For independent stock checking and checkout, leave Watch Task off.
5. Review the product, quantity and profile before starting. Normal tasks can place orders.

Preliminary Checklist

Create and save your checkout profiles under the Profiles tab in Stellar. These contain your billing, shipping and payment info.

Save your proxy groups under Proxies. ISP and residential proxies can both work. Start with ISP proxies for Monitor and residential proxies for Normal checkout; compare a small setup before increasing your task count.

For proxy options, see Stella Proxies.

The Stella Proxies guide explains the proxy types.

Have the exact product-page URL and quantity limit ready. Use the CanonUK module for UK links; the Canon module covers the separate US/Canada guide.

Accounts and Sessions

CanonUK uses guest checkout with your selected profile. The current Normal form has no Account field, so you do not need a saved Canon login session.

Supported Modes

• normal: Checks out the product. With Watch Task off, it checks for stock itself; with Watch Task on, it waits for a Monitor task.
• monitor: Checks product availability and signals matching running Normal tasks. It does not place an order.

Normal Mode — Checkout

Choose normal in the Mode dropdown and complete the required fields marked with an asterisk.

• Name: Recognizable label for the product and profile.
• Mode: Select normal.
• Profile: Saved shipping, billing and payment information for the order.
• Checkout Proxy: Proxy group used by the checkout task.
• Product URL: Full link to the exact Canon UK product and variant.
• Delay: Retry delay in milliseconds. Start with 3000 ms (3 seconds), matching the form default and the existing recommendation.
• Qty beside Delay: Number of units per order. Start with 1 and only increase it within the retailer’s product limit.
• Start Time / End Time: Optional scheduling controls. Leave blank if you will start and stop manually.
• Watch Task?: Enable when a running Monitor task should trigger this task. Leave off for independent stock checking and checkout.
• Use NXRewards? / Use CompleteSavings?: Optional cashback integrations. Enable the service you have configured in Settings and check that the purchase is eligible. Leave both off if you do not use these services.
• Qty at the bottom: Number of tasks to create, not units per order.

Monitor Mode — Stock Checking

Choose monitor and use the same product URL as the Normal tasks that should respond to it.

• Name: A label for the product being monitored.
• Mode: Select monitor.
• Monitor Proxy: Proxy group used for stock checks. ISP proxies are the starting recommendation.
• Product URL: Full Canon UK product link matching your Normal tasks.
• Monitoring Delay: Milliseconds between stock checks. The form defaults to 3000 ms; around 6000 ms is the existing starting recommendation for monitoring.
• Reset Delay: Wait before monitoring restarts after a stock detection. The existing recommendation is 10000 ms or less; adjust based on release guidance and task behavior.
• Start Time / End Time: Optional schedule.
• Qty at the bottom: Number of Monitor tasks to create.

Example: Monitor + Normal

1. Create one Monitor task with the full product URL and a monitor proxy group.
2. Create a Normal task for the same URL, select your checkout profile and proxy group, and enable Watch Task.
3. Start both tasks. Normal waits until the Monitor detects stock, then attempts to add to cart and check out.
4. Keep both tasks running while you want this setup active. Stock detection does not reserve an item or guarantee a successful order.

FAQ

Where do I find the product URL and quantity limit?

Open the exact product on the Canon UK website and copy its full page URL. Check the listing for purchase limits and start with one unit.

For release-specific product information and quantity guidance, check your cookgroup.

Can I run Normal without Monitor?

Yes. Leave Watch Task off so Normal monitors the product itself and attempts checkout when it can. If Watch Task is on, a matching Monitor must be running.

Should I use the Canon US captcha setup?

No. The current CanonUK task form does not have a Captcha Provider field. Follow this module’s setup rather than copying fields from the separate Canon US/Canada module.

Common Errors and Troubleshooting

• Waiting for Monitor Ping: Expected with Watch Task enabled. Confirm the Monitor is running and both tasks use the same product URL.
• Product is not detected: Check the full link, selected variant, storefront and current product availability.
• Repeated proxy or request errors: Update Stellar, check current staff announcements, try another proxy group and increase the delay if requests keep failing.
• Quantity or checkout failure: Start with product Qty 1, verify the purchase limit and check the profile’s billing, shipping and payment details.
• Unexpected cashback result: Confirm the service is configured and the purchase meets its eligibility and claim requirements. Checking a task option does not guarantee cashback.
• Unclear or persistent error: Send support the exact task status, mode, Stellar version and what you have already tried. A successful proxy test or stock check does not confirm that checkout will succeed.
