### Preliminary Checklist
Before setting up tasks on NewBalance, 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.
### New Balance Task Overview
### Monitor Mode
### **Normal Mode**
* What **mode** do I use?
* **Monitor mode** is used to check for product availbility
* **Normal mode** allows you to use your profiles to purchase products fully automated
* 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 work. Localhost will not work
* Where do I find **PIDs**?
* The **PIDs** are unique for a product on New Balance website usually located at the end of the product URL
* Ex.
* The PID would be `MTMORV3-MPS`
* What are **Variants**?
* **Variants** allow you to filter down to a specific product ID, color, size etc.
* Ex. `MTMORUD3-D-10,MTMORUD3-D-11`
* Make sure you split the variants with a comma like the above format
* What **Delays** should I use?
* Experiment around 2000-4000 delays
* What **Size** should I use?
* This field is optional by default but is required if you're running a product that has multiple sizes
* Ex. `L` for clothing. `11` for shoes or `Random` for random sizing
* 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
