Sams Club
Complete guide on our Sams Club module
Our Sam’s Club module supports account based checkout and provides fast monitoring, variant support and smooth task linking between monitor and checkout flows. Because Sam’s Club frequently restocks at random and occasionally requires login verification, Stellar uses IMAP, session based login and watch task pairing to ensure stability and fast ATC. This module is ideal for high demand retail products, Pokémon cards, toys, collectibles and items that restock quietly without warning.

Quick Start: Recommended Setup
This is the standard recommended setup for most Sam’s Club drops and restocks. Always follow newer drop-specific instructions when they are posted.
1. Prepare Your Sam’s Club Accounts
Before creating tasks:
Add your Sam’s Club accounts under Identities → Sessions → Sam’s Club.
Log into your accounts as early as possible.
Confirm each account has an active paid Sam’s Club membership.
Confirm the account’s address and payment information are correct.
Create a matching Stellar profile with valid billing, shipping, and payment information.
Test your accounts and tasks before an important release.
Sam’s Club sessions can remain active for weeks, so do not wait until the final few minutes before a drop to prepare your accounts.
2. Decide Whether to Use IMAP
IMAP is optional for Sam’s Club.
IMAP can automatically retrieve supported email login or verification codes. If you use IMAP, configure the Sam’s Club account to receive verification codes by email and select the correct IMAP session in the task.
If you are not using IMAP, leave the IMAP Session field blank and complete any required verification manually.
SMS codes cannot be retrieved through IMAP.
3. Prepare Your Proxies
Use high-quality proxies that can pass Sam’s Club’s PX protection.
Recommended approach:
Use a mix of ISP and residential proxies.
ISP proxies can work well for monitoring and account login.
Residential proxies are recommended for many checkout tasks.
Use multiple proxy providers or proxy pools when possible.
Test your proxies before the release.
Keep separate proxy groups for monitoring and checkout when possible.
Localhost is not supported for Sam’s Club tasks.
Proxy performance can change between releases. Check with your cook group or proxy provider for the latest recommendations.
4. Create the Monitor Task
Create approximately one Monitor task per product.
Recommended Monitor setup:
Mode: Monitor
Monitor Proxy: Tested ISP or residential proxy group
Product URL: Exact Sam’s Club product URL
Monitoring Delay: Start around
3000–5000Reset Delay: Follow the latest drop recommendation
Start Time and End Time: Optional
Monitor tasks detect stock and notify Normal tasks that have Watch Task enabled.
5. Create the Normal Checkout Task
Create one Normal checkout task for each Sam’s Club account.
Recommended Normal setup:
Mode: Normal
Profile: Profile matching the Sam’s Club account
Checkout Proxy: Tested residential or ISP proxy
Product URL: Exact product URL
Offer ID: Leave blank when initially starting the task unless newer instructions say otherwise
Product Quantity: Follow the product limit provided by your cook group
Session: Select the Sam’s Club account
IMAP Session: Optional
Login Method: Use the current recommended login method
Delay: Start around
3000–5000Watch Task: Enabled
Skip Cart Clear: Disabled unless specifically recommended
Endless Mode: Disabled unless you intentionally want repeat checkouts
Use Rakuten: Optional when properly configured
Use strictly one active checkout task per Sam’s Club account. Reusing the same account across multiple checkout tasks can cause login problems, account locks, 456 responses, and checkout failures.
6. Use Product URLs and Offer IDs Correctly
If you are going for one product, begin with its exact Product URL.
For many scheduled releases:
Start the Normal task without an Offer ID.
Enable Watch Task.
Allow the task to log in and reach its waiting status.
Approximately 5–10 seconds before the release, live edit the task and enter the Offer ID when instructed.
When an Offer ID is entered, the task focuses on that offer instead of the Product URL and repeatedly attempts to add it to cart.
The task updates live after editing. You do not need to restart it after adding the Offer ID.
Offer IDs are normally provided through your cook group or the latest drop instructions.
7. Multicart Setup
To attempt multiple offers in one task, enter the Offer IDs separated by commas:
When multiple Offer IDs are entered, the task focuses on those offers instead of the Product URL.
If one offer is out of stock or never becomes available, the task may display an add-to-cart error. Sam’s Club may not identify which individual offer caused the error.
8. Start Your Tasks
For scheduled releases:
Start Normal checkout tasks approximately 30–60 minutes before the expected release.
Confirm that every account logs in successfully.
Confirm tasks reach their waiting-for-monitor status.
Start approximately one Monitor task per product around 10–15 seconds before the release.
Add the Offer ID approximately 5–10 seconds before the release when instructed.
Keep tasks running through additional stock waves.
Starting Normal tasks early gives you time to address account, session, proxy, or verification problems before the site becomes heavily loaded.
9. Confirm Your Setup Before the Drop
Before leaving your setup running, confirm that:
Stellar is updated.
Every Sam’s Club account has an active membership.
Sessions are successfully signed in.
Profiles contain accurate information.
Proxies have been tested.
IMAP is configured if you intend to use it.
There is only one checkout task per account.
Watch Task is enabled.
Normal tasks are waiting for the Monitor task.
The Monitor task contains the correct product URL.
Delays begin around
3000–5000.You have the correct Offer ID ready when one will be used.
Run a test task on an in-stock product before an important release whenever possible.
10. During the Release
Sam’s Club may experience site, PX, or proxy-provider issues during major releases.
A 456 response before a release on an out-of-stock product can be normal. A 456 during a high-traffic release can also be caused by the website, account, or proxy.
If tasks are still progressing, allow them to continue. Do not stop every task at the first error.
Only restart tasks when Stellar staff specifically announces that a restart is required or when you have identified a task-specific problem.
Preliminary Checklist
Before setting up tasks on Sams Club, make sure you have everything below prepared:
Create and save your checkout profiles under the Profiles tab in Stellar. These contain your billing, shipping and payment info.
ISP proxies – Recommended for some of your tasks
Residential proxies – Recommended for majority of your tasks
Save both proxy groups under the Proxies tab in Stellar.
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.
Sam's Club Accounts
Prepare one Sam’s Club account for each checkout task.
Accounts must have an active paid Sam’s Club membership.
Confirm the saved address and payment information are correct.
Add each account under Identities → Sessions → Sam’s Club.
Log into accounts as early as possible.
Test the accounts before an important release.
Use strictly one active checkout task per account.
IMAP is optional. If you use IMAP, configure email as the account’s preferred verification method because IMAP cannot retrieve SMS codes.
Adding Accounts (Sessions)
Go to Identities → Sessions → Sam’s Club
Click Add Session
Enter:
Session Name
Email
Password
Click Save
Important: Your Sam’s Club verification method must be set to email, not SMS. (SMS cannot be pulled by IMAP.)
When you start a Normal mode task, Stellar will automatically log into the account.
You need to set your account code for email as preferred method in your Sams Club account settings, SMS isn't supported as it's not possible to IMAP
IMAP
IMAP is optional for Sam’s Club.
When configured, IMAP allows Stellar to retrieve supported login and verification codes sent to the account’s email address.
IMAP can provide:
Faster email-code retrieval
Less manual code entry
Easier account verification
Assistance with supported login and reset flows
To use IMAP:
Configure the account to receive verification codes by email.
Add an IMAP session under Identities → Sessions → IMAP.
Select the IMAP session inside the Sam’s Club task.
If you are not using IMAP, leave the IMAP Session field blank and complete any required verification manually.
IMAP cannot retrieve SMS codes.

Proxies
You can use ISP proxies and Residential proxies for Sam’s Club.
Recommended Usage
ISPs
Best for monitoring
Good stability for logging in and low-traffic flows
Residentials
Recommended for majority of checkout tasks
Handle rotation well
Less likely to trigger bans on aggressive endpoints
Product URL
You can find the Product URLs from your cookgroup or you can copy from Sam’s Club product page directly. Example:
OID (OfferID)
An OfferID (OID) further identifies a specific Sam’s Club offer for an item.
Supplied by your cookgroup
Used for more accurate cart + checkout logic
Helps avoid incorrect listings or mismatched products
If your task supports an OID input field, you will enter it here.
QTY (Quantity)
Check with your cookgroup for limits
Sam’s Club varies by product
Stellar does not auto-adjust if your QTY exceeds site limits
Session
Select which Sam’s Club account to use.
IMAP Session

Site load
Checkout failures
When disabled:
Checkout task monitors + ATCs itself
More resource-intensive
Skip Cart Clear
This option controls whether Stellar clears the cart before checkout.
When Enabled
Skips clearing the cart for the item in the Product URL field
Useful if you intentionally keep an item in your cart to speed up checkout
Helpful in certain repeat restock scenarios
Limitations

If MultiCart is enabled or required → Skip Cart Clear will NOT work
When to Use
Enable Skip Cart Clear if your cook group recommends “cart-stacking” or pre-loading technique for that product.
Disable it if:
Running MultiCart
Running unpredictable restocks
Running tasks across multiple variants
