Preliminary Checklist

Before setting up tasks on NewBalance, make sure you have everything below prepared:

• Profiles

Create and save your checkout profiles 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 for high quality ISP and Residential proxies. As always, it's recommended to have multiple proxy providers, don't just rely on one.

• Cook Group Access

Optional but recommended. Your cook group 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. https://www.newbalance.com/pd/fresh-foam-x-more-trail-v3/MTMORV3-MPS.html

      • 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
