Shopify

Complete guide on our Shopify module

Our Shopify module supports both guest and account based checkout and is designed to handle a wide range of default and custom Shopify powered sites, from password protected launches to queue based and fast first come first serve restocks. Because Shopify stores vary heavily in protection, Stellar combines preload logic, flexible product identification (URLs, keywords, variants), multicart support and captcha harvesting to help secure checkouts efficiently. This module is ideal for sneakers, apparel, collectibles and limited releases across Shopify sites that sell out quickly and often require captcha solving.

Preliminary Checklist

Before setting up tasks on Shopify, 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

  • Cook Group Access

Optional but recommended. Your cook group can help you find product URLs, SKUs and early restock alerts.

  • Test Task

Before big drops, run a test task on a random in stock product to confirm your profile, account, proxies and delays are functioning correctly.

Captcha Harvesters

If the website you're trying to bot has Captchas, you'll need to have Captcha Harvesters setup. You can follow the Captcha Harvesters guide here.

Make sure you're using a Gmail with a One Click status and has a good gmail score inside the Captcha Harvester. Once you've logged into your Gmail and saved the information, the Solvers will open automatically when necessary while running your tasks. You can also open the Captcha Harvester before starting any Shopify tasks.

Be prepared you'll have to solve at least one captcha per task as some Shopify sites may have multiple checkpoint captchas and sometimes checkout captchas.

Shopify Accounts

To add your Shopify accounts to Stellar, follow the steps below

1. Go to Identities tab and click on the Accounts folder. You'll see Shopify there

2. Click Add Account button

3. Enter your account email and password

IMAP Overview

This is optional depending on the Shopify site, not all sites require IMAP to be used.

  • Add an IMAP session

  • Connect your email provider

  • Select it in your Shopify task under IMAP Session

Follow your IMAP guide to:

  • Faster logins

  • Smoother password resets

  • Less manual code entry

IMAP lets Stellar read verification codes sent by the Shopify site automatically.

    • You can enter the Product URL, Keywords or Variants

      • Product URL is the entire URL you see at the top of the product page. For example https://kith.com/collections/mens-footwear/products/nkbq6806-117

      • Keywords are a way for the bot to pick up and checkout the item you would like. Find the name of the product and make keywords off of that. The keyword format is +Positive,-Negative. For example +Jordan,+High,+Retro,-Shirt,-Pants,-Socks,-Hat

        • Important note: Keywords are monitoring/checking the last 50 items

      • Variants are another way to identify a product and are often provided from your cookgroup

    • Multicart feature allows you to purchase multiple products from one site in the same order. This allows you to save on shipping costs. You can use this feature by clicking on the + sign to add a new product line or click the trash can icon to delete a product line
