# Hamleys
#### Preliminary Checklist
Before setting up tasks on Hamleys, make sure you have everything below prepared:
#### Profiles
> Create and save your checkout under the **Profile tab** in Stellar. These contain your billing, shipping and payment info.
#### Proxies
> * Residential Proxies - High quality residential proxies are recommended for Hamelys due to how fast the ISPs get blocked on drop
> * Save proxy group under the Proxies tab in Stellar
> * Onestop UK pool are currently working on Hamleys as of writing this guide
#### Accounts
> * Accounts are required for Hamleys - Stellar does not currently have an account generator but it is currently in works so for now you'll need to manually create these accounts and add them to **Identities -> Sessions -> Hamleys**
#### Cook Group Access
> Optional but recommended. Your cook group can help you find product URLs, SKUs and early restock alerts.
#### Task Overview
To add your Hamleys sessions to Stellar please follow the step-by-step instructions below
* In the bot, navigate to the Identities tab, then click on Hamleys
* Click the plus button next to the site name and create an account group
* Click Add Session button
* Enter your Hamleys account email and password and press save.
#### Hamleys Task Overview
#### Account Mode (Recommended)
#### Guest Mode (Does not work on Pokémon products)
#### Monitor Mode
* What mode do I use?
* **Account Mode**
* Recommended for Pokémon products and most high-demand releases.
* **Guest Mode**
* Suitable for general products that do not require an account.
* **Monitor Mode**
* Used solely for monitoring stock changes and triggering Watch Tasks.
* What does Profile Mean?
* Select the profile you want to use for checkout. The billing, shipping, and payment information saved within that profile will be used during checkout.
* What type of Proxies shall i use?
* High-quality residential proxies are recommended for both monitoring and checkout.
Always test your setup on an in-stock product before a release.
* How do I find the product SKU?
* Your cook group will usually provide the SKU.
* Alternatively, it can be found on the product page, typically displayed on the right-hand side.
* What is QTY?
* The number of units you want to purchase in a single order.
* What is Captcha Provider?
* Select the captcha-solving service that Stellar should use for your tasks.
* **Recommended:** CAPSOLVER
* Before running tasks:
* Add your CAPSOLVER API key under **Captchas**
* Ensure your balance is topped up.
* What is Delay?
* The time, in milliseconds, before a task retries after encountering an error.
* **Recommended starting point:** `3333ms`
* Adjust as needed based on:
* Proxy quality
* Site performance
* Error frequency
* What is Monitoring Delay?
* The interval, in milliseconds, between stock checks.
* **Recommended starting point:** `5000ms`
* Adjust as required depending on proxy quality and monitoring needs.
* What is Reset Delay?
* The time, in milliseconds, before monitoring resumes after stock has been detected.
* **Recommended starting point:** `5000ms`
* Adjust as required depending on proxy quality and monitoring needs.
* What is Session?
* A Session refers to the Hamleys account assigned to the task.
You can either:
* Match the session email to the profile email
* Leave the Session field blank and allow Stellar to auto-match
**Example:**
Profile: `stellar@stellar.com` Session: `stellar@stellar.com`
* What is a watch task?
* When enabled, a task remains idle until a Monitor Task detects stock.
* Once stock is found, the task automatically wakes up and begins attempting checkout.
* This can help reduce unnecessary proxy usage while waiting for a release.
#### Important notes:
* You do not need to run Monitor Mode if you already know when a drop is expected to occur.
* **Account Mode** should be used for all Pokémon-related products.
* High-quality residential proxies are strongly recommended.
* It is recommended to pre-run tasks so they complete the sign-in process before a drop and remain logged in.
* Pre-running tasks will consume proxy bandwidth, so choose your provider accordingly.
* Use a **1:1 ratio of profiles to addresses**, as duplicate information may result in order cancellations.
* Certain Hamleys SKUs may consistently return proxy ban errors before stock is available. This is normal and can usually be ignored. Once the item goes live, the bans will typically clear automatically.
