Complete guide on our Macys module

Monitor mode

Normal mode

• What Mode do I use?

  • Normal mode will check out items using guest checkout

  • Monitor mode will allow you to monitor products and these monitor tasks will notify your running Normal mode tasks with the same SKU when the product comes back in stock

    • Your Normal mode tasks must have "Waiting for Monitor" status message

• 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 for monitoring and residentials for checkout tasks

    • If you're looking for proxies, check out Stella Proxies for high quality ISP and Residential proxies

• What is the SKU and how do I get them?

  • FInd the SKU on the product page or from your cookgroup

• What Delays should I use?

  • Monitoring Delay: We recommend to use delays of 4000-7000 depending on the quality of your proxies

    • It's recommended to have at least one monitor task per product

  • Reset Delay: 5000 or less

  • Delay for checkout tasks: 2000 or less

• What is a good QTY to use?

  • It's best to check with your cookgroup for quantity recommendations as different products may have different purchase limits set by the site

    • Stellar does not automatically adjust the quantity if you set a number higher than what's allowed

• What is the Watch Task? checkbox?

  • The Watch Task option allows your checkout task (e.g., Normal mode) to work together with a Monitor mode task. Here's how it works:

    • If you check this box, your checkout task will not monitor for restocks directly. Instead, it will wait for a Monitor mode task (with the same SKU) to detect a restock

      • Once the Monitor task detects the restock, it will "ping" the checkout (with the same SKU) task to run. The checkout task will then add the item to your cart and proceed to checkout

    When using the Watch Task option:

    1. Start your checkout task. It will display the message: "Waiting for Monitor Ping." This means it's ready and set up correctly

    2. When the Monitor task detects a restock, it will automatically trigger the checkout task (with the same SKU) to run

    If you leave the Watch Task checkbox unchecked, the checkout task will act independently. It will monitor the SKU itself, add the item to your cart, and checkout directly

Using Watch Task is highly recommended for restocks because it allows the Monitor task to do the heavy lifting. This improves performance and helps avoid overloading the site.
