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.

* Set delays around **4000 ms**
* Configure a **Captcha Provider** (Bot Harvester, AYCD or Capmonster)

### Preliminary Checklist

Before setting up tasks on Footsites, make sure you have everything below prepared:

* **Profiles**

> Create and save your checkout [profiles](https://guides.stellaraio.com/stellar/navigating-stellaraio/what-is-the-profiles-tab/how-do-i-add-a-profile) under the **Profiles tab** in Stellar. These contain your billing, shipping and payment info.

* **Sessions (Accounts)**

> Footsites are **account-based**. You’ll need accounts added in Stellar before running tasks.

* **Proxies**

> - High-quality **ISP** or **Residential** proxies are required.
> - Low-quality or flagged proxies will cause **Akamai-related errors.**
> - For reliable performance, consider using **Stella Proxies ISPs or Residentials.**
>   * If you're looking for proxies, check out [Stella Proxies](https://guides.stellaraio.com/stellar/getting-started-with-stellaraio/stella-proxies) for high quality ISP and Residential proxies.

* **Cook Group Access**

> Optional but recommended. Your [cook group](https://guides.stellaraio.com/stellar/getting-started-with-stellaraio/cook-groups) can help you find product URLs, SKUs and early restock alerts.

* **Test Task**

> Before big drops, run a **test task** on a random in stock product to confirm your profile, account, proxies and delays are functioning correctly.
