# Offspring
### Preliminary Checklist
Before setting up tasks on Offspring, 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.
### Browser Extension
1. **Download** Stellar-queue browser extension for Google Chrome: [Stellar AIO Chrome Extension V3](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/136nPcGwzFRLuLvtgaQyK1kVKf02QcQe9?usp=drive_link)
2. Click on "Extract All..."
3. In Chrome, go to **Manage Extensions**
4. On the top right corner of the Manage Extensions page turn on **Developer Mode** and click **Load Unpacked**. Now select the folder that you extracted, it'll be located in Downloads
5. Go back to Chrome, click on the puzzle piece on the top right corner. You can now **pin** the **Stellar Extension** to your Chrome toolbar
### Offspring Task Overview
**Normal Mode**
**Monitor Mode**
* What **mode** do I use?
* **Normal mode** is used for normal guest checkout
* **Monitor mode** is used to monitor product availability, these tasks will notify/ping your Normal mode watch tasks
* 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?
* **DCs** and **ISPs** are the best due to speed but residentials also work but might have a large data usage
* What is the **Product** **PID** and how do I get them?
* The **Product PID** is usually at the end of the product link (ex. ) The PID for this product would be `4142825243`
* What **Size** to use?
* Input the **Size** you'd like to run for. One size per task. For example `10.5`
* You can type `Random` for random sizing
* Which **Currency** do I select?
* Select the currency that relates to your region USD, GBP or EUR
* What is **Payment Method**?
* You can select Credit Card or PayPal
* **Credit Card** option is for full ACO
* **PayPal** option will send you a checkout link to you via webhook
* What **delays** should I use?
* Experiment anywhere between 3000 and 5000
* What is **Use Collect Method**?
* If selected, your product will be shipped to the closest store depending on your profile billing zip code
* Your profiles address must be identical to the format used on Offspring website. You can manually check via browser to see which address is working and use the exact format
* What is a **Watch Task** and should I select it?
* 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" your running checkout (with the same SKU) tasks to ATC and 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
