Scheels

Complete guide on our Scheels module

Scheels uses a first come, first served checkout flow. Monitor checks for stock; Normal attempts the purchase. Stock can sell out before checkout finishes, so a stock signal is not an order confirmation.

Quick Start — Recommended Setup

1. Prepare a profile with accurate billing, shipping and payment information. Save and test your proxies.
2. Create a Scheels task group. For random restocks, create a Monitor task using the base SKU.
3. Create a Normal task for the same product, select your profile and enable Watch Task. Use the base SKU for non-sized items, or comma-separated size variants from the same product.
4. Leave Account empty for guest checkout, or select a saved Scheels account. Configure OTP Input if a one-time code is needed.
5. The form defaults to 3000 ms. The existing starting recommendation is 4000–6000 ms for monitoring/checkout delays and about 5000 ms Reset Delay; adjust for your proxies and site behavior.
6. Start your Monitor and Normal tasks. A Normal task waiting for a monitor signal is ready for the matching restock. For a timed release, follow release instructions and generally use Normal with Watch Task off.
7. Verify any purchase in the retailer’s confirmation. A Normal task on an in-stock product can place a real order; do not use a product you do not intend to buy as a harmless test.

Preliminary Checklist

Create and save your profiles before checkout. The profile supplies billing, shipping and payment details.

The existing recommendation is ISP proxies for monitoring and residential proxies for checkout. Both types can work; test your provider and use delays appropriate to connection quality.

See the existing Stella Proxies resource. Keeping more than one provider available can help diagnose provider-specific issues.

A cook group can help with base SKUs, size variants and release instructions. Confirm the item and purchase limits before running.

Accounts and Sessions

Normal supports guest checkout: leave Account empty. For account checkout, save your Scheels account in the Accounts tab and select it in the task. The current field hint explicitly says leaving Account empty uses guest checkout.

Adding an account saves its credentials. The task uses them to log in and save a session. Clear Cookies removes that saved session; it does not remove the saved credentials.

Verification Codes and Links

OTP means one-time password or code. Normal offers IMAP, Manual and AYCD under OTP Input. IMAP checks connected IMAP sessions; AYCD uses AYCD Inbox; Manual opens an OTP window for you to enter the code.

Account-Gen instead requires Verify Link Input. Choose IMAP or AYCD to retrieve the emailed verification link. Manual is not listed for this field. Configure the inbox that receives the account’s email before starting.

Supported Modes

• normal: attempts add-to-cart and checkout, either independently or after a Monitor signal.
• monitor: checks availability and signals matching Normal tasks with Watch Task enabled. It does not purchase anything.
• account-gen: creates a Scheels account using the selected profile and email-verification setup. It does not buy a product.

Normal Mode

The screenshot below shows Scheels Normal mode in Stellar 4.0.

• Name: optional task label.
• Mode: select normal.
• Profile: required checkout profile.
• Checkout Proxy: proxy group used for the checkout request.
• SKU (or SKUs): numeric product ID or comma-separated size variants. The current hint gives 88752112592,88752112593 as an example. Keep variants within one product.
• Qty: number of items requested per order. Start at 1 and follow the product’s purchase limit.
• Max Price: see the Max Price explanation below before choosing a value.
• Delay: retry interval in milliseconds. The current default is 3000 ms; the existing starting recommendation is 4000–6000 ms.
• Account: optional saved Scheels account. Leave empty for guest checkout.
• OTP Input: IMAP, Manual or AYCD for one-time codes. Configure your chosen method first.
• Watch Task: enable to wait for Monitor; leave off for an independent checkout task.
• Use Rakuten? / Use TopCashback?: optional cashback settings. Complete the matching service setup before enabling one.
• Start Time / End Time: optional task scheduling.
• Qty at the bottom: number of task rows to create, separate from items per order.

Monitor Mode

The screenshot below shows Scheels Monitor mode in Stellar 4.0.

• Name: optional label.
• Mode: select monitor.
• Monitor Proxy: proxy group for stock checks.
• SKU: the product’s base SKU. Use the base SKU even when Normal targets multiple size variants.
• Max Price: maximum price per single item. For example, 35 is a per-item ceiling of 35.
• Monitoring Delay: interval between stock checks in milliseconds. The form defaults to 3000 ms; the existing recommendation is 4000–6000 ms.
• Reset Delay: delay before monitoring resumes after detecting stock. About 5000 ms is the existing starting recommendation.
• Start Time / End Time: optional task scheduling.
• Qty at the bottom: number of Monitor task rows. Monitor has no profile or account selector.

Account-Gen Mode

The screenshot below shows Scheels Account-Gen mode in Stellar 4.0.

• Name: optional label.
• Mode: select account-gen.
• Profile: required profile for account creation. Check its email details first.
• Checkout Proxy: proxy group used for the account-creation requests.
• Password: enter the password to use, or leave empty to generate one, as the current hint explains.
• Verify Link Input: required; IMAP or AYCD. Set up access to the mailbox receiving the verification link.
• Catch All?: uses a catch-all email from your settings. Leave off unless you have configured and tested that mailbox routing.
• Delay: retry delay in milliseconds; current default 3000 ms.
• Start Time / End Time: optional task scheduling.
• Qty at the bottom: number of account-generation task rows. Start small and check the result before adding more.

Finding the SKU

Scheels SKUs are found in the Image URL, not the Product URL.

Steps to find the SKU:

1. Go to the product page
2. Select the color (if applicable)
3. Ensure the item is one size only (no size dropdown)
4. Right-click the product image
5. Click Open image in new tab
6. Copy the SKU from the Image URL

Example:

• Image URL:
  https://scheels.scene7.com/is/image/Scheels/04160439437?wid=1000&hei=1000
• SKU:
  04160439437

Multiple Size Variants

Scheels now supports Multi-Variant input for Checkout Tasks on products that have size variants.

How this works:

• Monitor Tasks
  • Always use the base SKU
• Checkout (Normal Mode) Tasks
  • You may input multiple size variants, separated by commas
  • No need to create separate checkout tasks for each size

Important notes:

• This is only for size variants
• Variants must belong to one product only
• You cannot mix variants from different products

Examples:

• Shoes
  • Monitor Task → Base SKU
  • Checkout Task → Multiple size variants (comma-separated)
• Cards / Non-Sized Items
  • Monitor Task → Base SKU
  • Checkout Task → Base SKU

Max Price

Monitor Mode

• Enter the max price per single item
• Example:
  • Item retails at $29 → Enter 35

Normal Mode

• Enter the maximum price per item, rather than multiplying it by the number of items.
• Example: if your maximum is 35 per item, enter 35. Keep the same per-item limit even when requesting more than one item.
• Check the requested quantity and retailer limits separately.

Quantity and Purchase Limits

Start with an item Qty of 1. Increase it only when the retailer allows multiple units per order. The bottom Qty creates additional tasks; it does not raise the site’s purchase limit.

Your cookgroup may provide product-specific quantity guidance. Check it against the retailer’s current limit.

Monitor + Normal Example

For a non-sized item, use the same base SKU in Monitor and Normal and enable Watch Task on Normal. For shoes, Monitor still uses the base SKU while Normal can use comma-separated size variants belonging to that product.

Start both tasks. Waiting for Monitor means the checkout task is waiting for the stock signal. With Watch Task off, Normal checks stock itself and attempts checkout independently. Monitor plus Watch Task is the existing recommendation for random restocks; timed releases generally use checkout tasks directly.

Cashback Options

Complete the Rakuten setup guide before enabling Use Rakuten? in Normal mode. Cashback depends on the provider’s terms and tracking; it is not guaranteed.

Complete the TopCashBack setup guide before enabling Use TopCashback?. Use the email/password setup described there and follow its manual-claim instructions.

FAQ

Can I check out as a guest?

Yes. Leave Account empty in Normal mode. Select a saved account only when you want to use it.

Can I combine different products in the SKU list?

The existing multi-variant guidance is for size variants of one product. Do not mix variants from different products. Use the base SKU for cards and other non-sized items.

Which proxies should I start with?

The existing Stella Proxies reference is preserved. Start with working ISP proxies for monitoring and residential proxies for checkout, then adjust based on actual results.

Common Errors and Troubleshooting

• Waiting for Monitor: confirm Watch Task is intended, the Monitor is running and the base SKU matches the product targeted by Normal.
• Product or variant not found: check the numeric SKU and preserve leading zeros. Follow the image-URL walkthrough for the base SKU; use size variants from the same product only.
• Missing verification code or link: check the receiving email, the selected IMAP or AYCD setup and mailbox access. Normal’s Manual option needs you to enter the code in its OTP window.
• Account login failure: confirm the saved account credentials and selection. Leave Account empty only when you intend guest checkout.
• Proxy errors or rate limiting: test the proxy group, reduce task count and increase delay. A faster delay does not guarantee faster checkout.
• Stock detected but checkout failed: another customer may have bought the stock first. Check quantity, price settings, profile details and the task status.
• Cashback missing: check your service setup and provider terms; follow the relevant cashback guide for claims.
