Offspring

Complete guide on our Offspring module

Preliminary Checklist

Before setting up tasks on Offspring, 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.

Important: DSG does not support 3DS cards, use a payment method that does not require 3D Secure.

  • 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.

  • Cook Group Access

Optional but recommended. Your cook group can help you find product URLs, SKUs and early restock alerts.

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?

  • 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
