# Lowes
Our Lowe’s module supports both guest and account based checkout and operates on a true first come first serve system with no queue, making fast monitoring and efficient task setup essential. Because Lowe’s restocks can appear without warning and sell out quickly, Stellar automates account login, carting and checkout flows to help secure high demand items consistently. This module is ideal for tools, appliances, seasonal items and limited retail products that drop or restock abruptly. *** ### Preliminary Checklist Before setting up tasks on Lowes, 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. * **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. *** ### Lowes Task Overview ### Monitor mode
### Account Mode
### Guest mode
* Which **Mode** do I use? * **Monitor mode** will only monitor your desired products and ping your watch tasks when they detect the item you're monitoring is in stock * **Guest mode** is to be used for guest checkout flow * **Account mode** is to be used for account based checkout flow * 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? * ISPs and resis will both work great * If you're looking for proxies, check out [Stella Proxies](https://help.stellaraio.com/stellar/getting-started-with-stellaraio/stella-proxies) for high quality ISP and Residential proxies * What is **Fulfillment Type**? * Select Shipping or Pickup * What is a **Product SKU**? * The **Product SKU** is a set of numbers and/or letters that identifies the item you would like to run. For example for this product URL the SKU is `5015041951` * What do I enter for **Zipcode**? * Enter your **Zip Code** into this field * What is **Radius**? * **Radius** is necessary to put in the tasks for **Pickup** fulfillment type. This is how far you're willing to pickup the item in miles. Make sure you have a zip code setup in your monitor mode task * What do I select for **IMAP** **Session**? * Select an [IMAP session](/stellar/navigating-stellaraio/what-is-the-identities-tab/imap-overview.md) that you named from the sessions tab in bot you'd like to use for your task * What **Delays** should I use? * **Delay** to run is anywhere around 2000 * What is a good **QTY** to use? * It's best to check with your [cookgroup](https://help.stellara.io/en/articles/5772208-cook-groups-and-proxies) since different items have different quantity limits * 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 --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
