# Scheels

Our **Scheels module** supports both monitoring and automated checkout using a true **first come, first serve (FCFS)** flow. Because restocks can sell out quickly, success on Scheels depends on fast monitoring, stable proxies, and proper monitor-to-checkout pairing.

Stellar supports **watch task workflows** and **multi-variant checkout** for size-based products, allowing users to efficiently target multiple sizes without creating extra checkout tasks. This module is best suited for **sports cards, footwear, apparel, and limited-release items** that restock without warning.

With the right setup, Scheels can be a consistent and reliable site for securing high-demand products.

***

### Quick Start (Recommended Setup)

*(For members who want a fast setup without reading everything)*

1. Create and save your **Profile** with correct billing, shipping, and payment information.
2. Add **ISP proxies** for monitoring and **Residential proxies** for checkout under the Proxies tab.
3. Create **Monitor Mode tasks** using the **base SKU** for each product you want to run.
4. Create **Normal Mode (Checkout) tasks** for the same products and enable **Watch Task**.
5. If the product has **size variants**, enter multiple variants **comma-separated** in the Checkout task.
   * Use base SKU only for cards or non-sized items.
6. Set delays between **4000–6000** and Reset Delay around **5000**.
7. Start Monitor tasks first, then start Checkout tasks and confirm they show **“Waiting for Monitor”**.
8. Before major restocks or releases, run a **test task on an in-stock item** to verify profiles, proxies, and delays.

***

### **Preliminary Checklist**

Before setting up tasks on Scheels, make sure you have everything below prepared:

* [ ] **Profiles**

> Create and save your checkout [profiles](/stellar/navigating-stellaraio/what-is-the-profiles-tab/how-do-i-add-a-profile.md) under the **Profiles tab** in Stellar. These contain your billing, shipping and payment info.

* [ ] **Proxies**

> - **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](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.

### Task Overview

### Normal mode

#### What Mode Should I Use?

**Monitor Mode**

* Monitor Mode only checks for product availability.
* When an item restocks, your Monitor Mode tasks will **ping your running Watch Tasks (Normal Mode)** to add to cart and checkout.

**Normal Mode**

* Normal Mode is your **checkout task**.
* These tasks handle add to cart and checkout once triggered by a Monitor task (if Watch Task is enabled) or can monitor and checkout on their own if Watch Task is disabled.

***

#### Profile Selection

Select the **Profile** you want to use.

* The billing, shipping, and payment information from this profile will be used during checkout.

***

#### Proxy Recommendations

Both **ISP and Residential proxies** work well on Scheels.

* ISPs are ideal for monitoring
* Residentials are recommended for checkout

If you need reliable proxies, check out [**Stella Proxies**](/stellar/getting-started-with-stellaraio/proxies.md) for high quality ISP and Residential options.

***

#### Finding the SKU (Important)

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`

***

#### Multi-Variant Support (Checkout Tasks Only)

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 **max total order price**, including quantity
* Example:
  * Monitor price: `35`
  * Quantity: `10`
  * Normal Mode Max Price: `350`

***

#### Quantity (QTY)

* A safe default is **1**
* Your [cookgroup](/stellar/getting-started-with-stellaraio/cook-groups.md) should provide you with exact QTY recommendations based on product
* Increase quantity only if the site allows multiple units per order

***

#### Delay Recommendations

* Recommended delay range: **4000 – 6000**
* Adjust based on proxy quality and site behavior

***

#### Reset Delay

Reset Delay controls how long (in milliseconds) a Monitor task waits before restarting after detecting a restock.

* Recommended value: **\~5000**

***

#### Watch Task Option

**Watch Tasks**

* Do not monitor the site themselves
* Wait for Monitor Mode tasks to detect a restock
* Once pinged, they immediately add to cart and checkout

**Non-Watch Tasks**

* Monitor the site directly
* Use proxies continuously
* Add to cart and checkout on their own

Best practice:

* Use **Monitor Mode + Normal Mode (Watch Task enabled)** for better performance and fewer proxy bans.
