# Shopify
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: * [ ] **Profiles** > Create and save your checkout [profiles](https://guides.stellaraio.com/stellar/navigating-stellaraio/what-is-the-profiles-tab/how-do-i-add-a-profile) 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 > * **please note** if you use residential proxies as a checkout proxy it **WILL** still use data if running long periods of time, run with caution. * **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. * **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](https://guides.stellaraio.com/stellar/navigating-stellaraio/what-is-the-captchas-tab/how-do-i-set-up-the-captcha-harvester). 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. *** ### Adding a Custom Shopify Site If the Shopify store you want to bot isn’t listed in the **Site** dropdown, follow the steps below: #### Add the Store to the Dropdown 1. Go to the **Settings** tab in Stellar 2. Navigate to: **Shopify → Shopify Stores**
3. Add the store URL you want to use 1. Example: ``` https://example.com/ ``` 4. Save your changes Once added, the store will appear in the **Site** dropdown when creating Shopify tasks.
**Tip:** Always use the store’s main domain (not a product link) when entering a custom Site URL. *** ### **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
