SmythsToys

Complete guide on our Smyths Toys module

UK region only

SmythsToys is the UK module for shipping checkout and stock monitoring. The current task forms use your profile and do not have an Account field.

Quick Start: Recommended Setup

1. Prepare a UK checkout profile and working proxies. Copy the full product URL.
2. Open Tasks, create a SmythsToys group, then select Create Task → shipping.
3. Select Profile and Checkout Proxy, enter Product URL, and leave the product Qty at 1 while learning.
4. Select Credit Card for the standard setup. Start with the current 3000 ms Delay and leave Endless Mode off.
5. For a timed release, run Shipping with Watch Task off. For random restocks, create a Monitor task for the same product and enable Watch Task on Shipping.
6. Review the product, payment details and quantities before creating and starting tasks. A checkout task can place a real order.

Preliminary Checklist

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

• Profiles

Create and save your checkout profiles 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 for high quality ISP and Residential proxies. As always, it's recommended to have multiple proxy providers, don't just rely on one.

• Cook Group Access

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

Use the current form default as your starting point and adjust for proxy quality. Residential proxies are the existing main recommendation; test ISP proxies as an alternative. No proxy type guarantees success.

Supported Modes

shipping attempts checkout. monitor checks stock and alerts matching Shipping tasks that have Watch Task enabled; it does not buy the item itself.

Shipping Mode

The screenshot below shows SmythsToys Shipping mode in Stellar 4.0.

Shipping Field Breakdown

• Name: optional label to help you recognize the task.
• Mode: select shipping.
• Profile: required; supplies shipping, billing and payment details.
• Checkout Proxy: choose the saved proxy group for checkout.
• Product URL: paste the complete UK product-page URL, not just the numeric product ID.
• Qty beside Product URL: units requested in one order. Start with 1 and respect retailer limits.
• Delay: retry interval in milliseconds; 3000 ms is the current default. The earlier guide suggested around 2000 ms, but lower delays can increase blocking. Adjust based on errors and proxy quality.
• Payment Method: Credit Card or PayPal. For PayPal, Stellar sends a payment link through your webhook; open it and complete payment manually. Prepare Discord Notifications before running so you can receive the link.
• Endless Mode: repeats after successful checkout. Leave off unless you want additional orders. Enabling it reveals Endless Limit; set a deliberate checkout limit.
• Watch Task: on waits for a Monitor stock signal; off lets Shipping handle its own checks and checkout.
• Start Time / End Time: optional operating window. A Start Time does not start the task by itself; you must still start it in Stellar.
• Qty at the bottom: how many task rows to create, not units per order. Start at 1.

Example product URL from the existing guide:

This identifies the format only; confirm the actual product and availability before running.

Monitor Mode

The screenshot below shows SmythsToys Monitor mode in Stellar 4.0.

Monitor Field Breakdown

• Name: optional monitor label. Mode: select monitor.
• Profile: required in the current Monitor form, even though this task does not check out.
• Monitor Proxy: saved proxy group used for stock checks.
• Product URL: the full URL of the same product used by the Shipping tasks.
• Monitoring Delay: interval between stock checks, in milliseconds. The form defaults to 3000; the existing guide recommends around 5000 as a starting point, adjusted for proxy quality.
• Reset Delay: interval before checking again after detecting stock. The existing starting recommendation is 5000 ms.
• Start Time / End Time: optional operating window for a task you have started.
• Qty at the bottom: number of Monitor tasks to create.

Monitor + Shipping Example

1. Create one Monitor task for your product with a profile, working monitor proxies and sensible delays.
2. Create a Shipping task for that same product with the checkout profile, checkout proxies and payment method. Enable Watch Task.
3. Start both tasks. Shipping waits until Monitor detects stock, then attempts checkout.
4. If you want Shipping to operate independently for a timed release, leave Watch Task off instead.

FAQ

Do I need a saved Smyths account?

The current module uses guest checkout with your selected profile; there is no Account field in these task forms.

Why are there two Qty fields?

The Shipping product Qty requests units in one order. The Qty at the bottom creates separate tasks, each of which can attempt an order.

Does Watch Task prevent proxy bans?

It can reduce repeated monitoring by checkout tasks, but it does not guarantee protection from rate limits or bans. Monitor tasks still need working proxies and sensible delays.

Common Errors and Fixes

Shipping stays waiting

If Watch Task is on, confirm that a Monitor task is running for the same product. Waiting for a stock signal is expected until stock is detected.

Product is not found

Check that you copied the full UK product URL and that it opens the correct item. Confirm updated product information with your cook group.

Proxy errors or repeated retries

Test the proxy group, try a working alternative and increase delays if requests are blocked. Repeated restarts do not fix a blocked proxy.

Checkout or payment fails

Review profile details, payment method, stock and purchase limits. Check the order confirmation before retrying so you do not accidentally place a duplicate order.
