  • What is Monitor Type?

      • It's recommended to toggle this on so it'll use your default address you have saved in your Costco accounts making this checkout process faster and smoother with less issues

  • What is Watch Task? box?

    • Using watch task will help your proxies encounter less proxy bans and less proxy errors overall. Using a watch task essentially means you want your task to rely on other sources to monitor, in this case your monitor mode task will ping the watch task when a restock has happened

      • If you check this box, your task will wait for a monitor mode task to ping it then it'll proceed to add item to cart and checkout

      • If this box is unchecked, your task will monitor the sku, add to cart and checkout
