# FLX US & CA

<figure><img src="https://cdn.worldvectorlogo.com/logos/foot-locker-logo.svg" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Our FLX module is built for **Foot Locker FLX (US + Canada)** and focuses on **account-based entry workflows**, including passing checkpoint steps and submitting entries for specific products/sizes. Because FLX flow is typically **first-come, first-processed** and can involve checkpoint validation, Stellar splits the process into dedicated task modes (Entry, Check-Points, and Account-Gen) to keep your setup clean, fast, and repeatable. This module is best suited for users running multiple accounts to maximize entry success for hyped footwear releases.

***

## Quick Start (Recommended Setup)

*(For members who want a fast setup without reading everything)*

* Add FLX accounts under **Identities → Sessions (or Accounts) → FLX**
* Use **high-quality ISP or Residential proxies** (avoid flagged pools)
* Run **Check-Points** tasks first (to get accounts checkpoint-ready)
* Run **Entry** tasks for the same SKU + size using those sessions
* Keep delays moderate (start around **3000–5000ms**) and adjust based on proxy quality
* Before a real release, run a **test Entry** (or a safe test flow if available) to confirm sessions + proxies work

***

## Preliminary Checklist

### Profiles

Create and save your checkout profiles under the **Profiles** tab in Stellar. These contain your:

* Billing information
* Shipping information
* Payment information (if applicable)

**Tip:** Even if FLX entry isn’t a traditional “checkout,” profiles are still used for identity/address fields when required.

***

### Proxies

High-quality proxies are strongly recommended for FLX.

**Recommended types**

* **ISP Proxies**: best balance of speed + trust (recommended default)
* **Residential Proxies**: great for trust/rotation if you hit blocks more often

**Avoid**

* Low-quality datacenter proxies (more likely to trigger checkpoint-related issues)

If you need proxies, [Stella Proxies](https://guides.stellaraio.com/stellar/getting-started-with-stellaraio/proxies) offers both ISP and Residential options.

***

### Sessions (Accounts)

FLX is **account-based**. You’ll need FLX accounts added in Stellar before running Entry or Check-Points tasks.

**Recommended**

* 1 task per account (don’t reuse a single account across too many tasks at once)
* Keep account email/password correct and consistent

***

### Cook Group Access (Optional but recommended)

Your [cook group](https://guides.stellaraio.com/stellar/getting-started-with-stellaraio/cook-groups) helps with:

* SKU / product codes
* Sizing guidance (which sizes are realistic)
* Drop timing + region notes (US vs CA differences)

***

### Test Task

Before a major release:

* Run a small set of tasks (2–5 accounts)
* Confirm proxies aren’t blocked
* Confirm sessions load correctly
* Confirm your mode flow works (Check-Points → Entry)

***

## Task Modes Overview

FLX includes these task modes:

### 1) Entry

Recommended to run before Entry tasks, especially close to release windows.

### 3) Account-Gen

## Creating Tasks (Step-by-Step)

### Entry Mode (New Task → Mode: `entry`)

Use this mode to submit an entry for a specific release.

**Required fields (from the task window)**

1. **Name**: Give it a clear name (example: `FLX Entry - SKU - Size - Group1`)
2. **Mode**: `entry`
3. **Profile**: Select your profile
4. **Checkout Proxy**: Select your proxy group (ISP or Resi recommended)
5. **SKU**: Enter the product SKU/code
6. **Size**: Choose your size (or the required selection)
7. **Session**: Select the FLX account session you want to use
8. **Delay**: Start around `3000–5000` and adjust as needed
9. **Qty**: Keep at `1` unless the module explicitly supports other values

**Optional toggles**

* **Add Address?**: Adds address info from your profile to your account
* **Add Payment?**: Adds payment info from your profile to your account
* **Start Time**: Schedule tasks to start automatically

**Recommended workflow**

* Run **Check-Points** first
* Then run **Entry** tasks (one per account)

***

### Check-Points Mode (New Task → Mode: `check-points`)

Use this mode to pass checkpoint steps and reduce friction when running Entry.

**Fields**

1. **Name**: Example `FLX Checkpoints - Group1`
2. **Mode**: `check-points`
3. **Profile**: Select profile (recommended)
4. **Checkout Proxy**: Select proxy group
5. **Session**: Select FLX session
6. **Delay**: Start around `3000–6000`
7. **Start Time**: Optional scheduling
8. **Qty**: Keep at `1`

**Best practice**

* Run Check-Points tasks **ahead of time** (or before you start Entry tasks)
* If you have many accounts, stagger start times or delays to reduce proxy pressure

***

### Account-Gen Mode (New Task → Mode: `account-gen`)

Use this mode to generate new accounts directly in Stellar.

**Fields**

1. **Name**: Example `FLX AccountGen - Batch1`
2. **Mode**: `account-gen`
3. **Profile**: Select a profile (recommended—especially if email is pulled from profile)
4. **Checkout Proxy**: Use high-quality proxies (Resi often best here)
5. **Postal Code**: Enter a valid US/CA postal/zip code for the account region
6. **Password**: Enter a password (or follow your team’s standard format)
7. **Delay**: Start around `5000` for stability
8. **Catch All?**: Enable only if you’re using a catchall email setup
9. **Start Time**: Optional scheduling
10. **Qty**: Keep at `1`

**Important**

* FLX module supports **US + Canada only** — ensure your postal code matches the region you intend to use.

***

## Fields & Options

### Name

A label for your task. Use a consistent naming pattern:

* `FLX Entry - SKU - Size - AccountBatch`
* `FLX Checkpoints - Batch1`
* `FLX AccountGen - Batch2`

### Mode

Select what the task does:

* `entry` = submit entry
* `check-points` = checkpoint preparation
* `account-gen` = generate accounts

### Profile (Required)

The identity info used in the task flow (address/payment when needed).

### Checkout Proxy

The [proxy](https://guides.stellaraio.com/stellar/getting-started-with-stellaraio/proxies) group used for the task’s requests.

**Recommended**

* ISP for general stability
* Resi if you see frequent blocks or checkpoint issues

### SKU (Entry only)

Product identifier. Usually provided by [cook groups](https://guides.stellaraio.com/stellar/getting-started-with-stellaraio/cook-groups) or found in product metadata.

### Size (Entry only)

Select the size(s) you want to enter for.

### Session

Your FLX account selection. Typically:

* 1 session = 1 account
* Recommended: 1 Entry task per account

### Delay

How often the task retries actions (milliseconds).

**Starting recommendations**

* Check-Points: `3000–6000`
* Entry: `3000–5000`
* Account-Gen: `5000+` for stability

### Add Address?

When enabled, Stellar will apply address details from your profile to your account.

### Add Payment?

When enabled, Stellar will apply payment details from your profile to your account.

### Payment SMS Input

Select either Manual or [Text Verified (US only)](https://www.textverified.com/)

### Start Time

Schedules tasks to begin automatically at a set time.

### Qty

Default `1`. Most entry flows don’t need higher quantities.

### Postal Code (Account-Gen only)

Enter new zip code or the bot will use zip code from your selected profile.

### Password (Account-Gen only)

Enter your prefered password or the bot will automatically create one.

### Catch All? (Account-Gen only)

Use only if you have a proper [catchall](https://guides.stellaraio.com/stellar/navigating-stellaraio/what-is-the-settings-tab/catchall-email-guide) email setup.

## Recommended Task Setups

### Standard Release Setup (Most Common)

* 1x **Check-Points** task per account
* 1x **Entry** task per account (per SKU + size)
* ISP proxies preferred; use Resi if you encounter issues

### “Safety” Setup (If You See More Blocks)

* Run Check-Points earlier (more time buffer)
* Use Residential proxies for Check-Points + Entry
* Increase delays slightly (ex: 5000–7000)
