### Preliminary Checklist

Before setting up tasks on HobbyLobby, 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.

* **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.

* What **Mode** do I use?
  * **Monitor** mode allows you monitor product stock and will automatically notify your running Guest mode watch tasks to start the checkout process
  * **Guest** mode allows you to automatically checkout product via guest checkout
* What does **Profile** mean?
  * Select a **Profile** you want to use and that profile information will be used when checking out items
* What type of **Proxies** should I use?
  * All types of proxies from DCs to ISPs to Resis. Must be US proxies
* What's **URL**?
  * Paste the product URL here. For example [`https://www.hobbylobby.com/Christmas/Home-Decor-Pillows/Advent-Countdown-Calendars/Light-Up-Rotating-Advent-Calendar/p/81151405`](https://www.hobbylobby.com/Christmas/Home-Decor-Pillows/Advent-Countdown-Calendars/Light-Up-Rotating-Advent-Calendar/p/81151405?queryId=34bdae59086759c1db24ac75bc6eecca)
* What **Delay** should I use?
  * Between 4000-6000 is OK
* What **Quantity** do I use?
  * There may have quantity limits for certain hyped products (if so, set it to those) Overall it is recommended to use 1
* 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 product, add to cart and checkout
