### Preliminary Checklist

Before setting up tasks on Playstation Direct, 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.

* **Playstation accounts**

> This module requires an Playstation account. Before you start, double-check that your billing and shipping information lines up with the profile you’ll be using.

* **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.

### Logging Into PSD Accounts Help

In an attempt to assist people who are having trouble logging into their Playstation Direct US accounts, we have created a video below

* Make a new chrome profile. Have the latest version of Google Chrome downloaded. Use Localhost. DO NOT USE ANY PROXY SWITCHING EXTENSIONS.
* Paste <https://ca.account.sony.com/api/v1/ssocookie> in the same tab/browser immediately after logging in.
* Paste the token into Stellar Identities and try to test "Account" mode from that point.
