What Are Shape Bans? Shape bans are a common part of botting Target. They can't be completely avoided but can be reduced with proper setup. Shape bans occur when Target detects unusual activity, and they can affect either your device or proxies temporarily.
During Login:
If your tasks loop on "Shape ban" during login, switch from request login to token login.
During Add to Cart (ATC):
If tasks loop on "Shape ban" while adding to the cart (without transitioning to "Waiting for monitor"), your device or proxies might be temporarily banned.
Device bans are more common, but proxies could also be temporarily flagged.
Note: Temporary bans can last up to 24 hours for both devices and proxies.
Use v1 mode and enable device spoofing for better results.
Pregenerate ATC cookies using either:
Browser Extension Cookie Harvester
Shape Module
Don’t overgenerate cookies, as this can flag your device or cause cookies to expire prematurely. Aim for about three times as many cookies as the number of tasks you're running.
Start with 1-3 tasks to understand Target’s system and Shape’s behavior.
Don’t run more than 2-3 Shape tasks at a time, even with a high task count.
Experiment to find what works best for you—some users prefer the browser extension harvester, while others find the Shape module more effective.
Target is one of the hardest sites to bot, requiring patience and skill to master.
