Footsites

Complete guide on our Footsites module

Our Footsites module supports account based checkout across major Footsite retailers and is designed to handle Akamai protection, captcha challenges and fast first come first serve releases. Because Footsites rely heavily on queue less speed, proxy quality and captcha solving, Stellar integrates flexible proxy support, multiple captcha providers and streamlined checkout logic to improve success rates. This module is best suited for sneakers and footwear releases on Footlocker, Champs Sports, Eastbay, and Kids Foot Locker that sell out quickly without warning.


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

  • Create a checkout Profile with billing, shipping and a non 3DS payment method

  • Use high quality ISP or Residential proxies (avoid flagged pools)

  • Select the correct Footsite (Footlocker, Champs, Eastbay, Kids Footlocker, etc.)

  • Enter the correct SKU and choose a Size (or Random)

  • Run Normal Mode tasks only

  • Set delays around 4000 ms

  • Configure a Captcha Provider (Bot Harvester, AYCD or Capmonster)

  • Before major drops, run a test task on an in stock item
