### Preliminary Checklist

Before setting up tasks on John Lewis, 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.

* Which **Mode** do I use?
  * **Monitor mode** will check for product availability and ping your guest mode tasks when the product comes into stock
  * **Guest mode** will add to cart and checkout the product you input
* 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?
  * Both ISPs and Resis should work, try ISPs first on an in stock item with false payment information. If you receive any errors, switch to 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
* What is the **SKU** and how do I get them?
  * Look for the item you want to run for. An example link would be <https://www.johnlewis.com/american-tourister-take2cabin-casual-backpack-24l-raspberry-sorbet/p112529276> the SKU is `p112529276`&#x20;
* What **Delays** should I use?
  * **Monitoring Delay**: We recommend to use delays around 5000 depending on the quality of your proxies
    * It's required to have at least one monitor task per product if you're choosing your checkout task to be a watch task
  * **Reset Delay**: 10000 or less
  * **Delay for checkout tasks**: 5000 or less
* What is a good **QTY** to use?
  * It's best to check with your [cookgroup](https://guides.stellaraio.com/stellar/getting-started-with-stellaraio/cook-groups) for quantity recommendations as different products have different quantity restrictions
* 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 sku, add to cart and checkout
* What is **Use TopCashback?** box?
  * Follow the [Topcashback guide](https://guides.stellaraio.com/stellar/navigating-stellaraio/what-is-the-settings-tab/how-do-i-set-up-topcashback) to set it up and check this box to earn cashback on eligible purchases
