Very Important Note If Running on a Server

Running Target on a server is not recommended but if you still wish to do so please see the important notes below

To run the Target module successfully, your server IP must be clean and not flagged by Target. If your IP is flagged, you won’t be able to log in, generate shape cookies or complete checkouts

If you already have a server, you can test its status by visiting Target.com from the server browser. Log into your Target account, add a test item to cart and attempt checkout. If the order remains after a few hours, your server IP is likely fine

If you’re purchasing a server from a provider, contact them beforehand to confirm that the server IP is not flagged by Target

Target Login Overview

For Target you'll need to go into the Identities tab, enter in your accounts so your checkout tasks can log in. There are two ways to log into your Target accounts, Access Token Login or Request Login. Each login method will require shape cookies. The Target account email has to exactly match the email you have in your profile

Which is better, Access Token or Request Login?

Neither provide a speed advantage to checking out on Target. These methods are both here so you can see what works for you and what is easiest. Try them and see what you like!

Target Sessions and Log In

Add Session

1. Go to Identities tab

1. Click on Add Session

2. Session Name: Name your session

   Email: Enter your Target account email

   Password: Enter your Target account password

   Access Token: Enter Access Token you generated for this account if you're using Access Token login method

   Login Method: Select the login method you prefer to use. Token or Request

1. Click Save. Log in occurs when you start a checkout mode task like Shipping mode

Mass Import Sessions

How does this login method work?

When importing your sessions they will not login at first. All the sessions will login when your tasks are ran. The Target account email has to exactly match the email you have in your profile. This means if your session/account email is "[email protected]", then your profile email needs to be "[email protected]." When the task starts, the profile will be matched to the session and will login.

1. Go to Sessions tab

1. Click on Mass Import Sessions

1. On this window you will be inputting multiple accounts at once (one per line). The format is as follows:

Target Access Token Login

What is Access Token Login? Access Token login will use a token you generated using the Target browser extension when logging into your Target accounts. You will generate one access token for each Target account and can last up to a few weeks. Your Target tasks will let you know when it's time to generate new access tokens. Access Token login method will also require shape cookies

Downloading Access Token Harvester

1. Download: Stellar AIO Target Browser Extension V3

2. Extract the downloaded file

3. In Chrome, go to Manage Extensions

4. On the top right corner of the Manage Extensions page turn on Developer Mode and click Load Unpacked. Now select the folder that you extracted, it'll be located in Downloads

5. Go to https://www.target.com/ and navigate to the login page. Enter your email address and password, (Before you sign in, check the 'Keep me signed in" box) then click sign in. You have to use your real email and password so you can successfully log into your account.

6. Copy the Login Token

1. Paste the Login Token into the correct Target accounts session

1. Click Save and you're all set with that account. Don't click the Log In button. Your checkout tasks will log you into your Target accounts

1. Repeat the same process for each Target account you have by either opening a New Incognito Window or use a new Google Chrome profile

You'll also want to switch the browser login IP so multiple Target accounts aren't using the same IP to login. You can use any proxy switcher chrome extension but we recommend BP Proxy Switcher

New Incognito Window

Open a New Incognito Window by clicking on the 3 dots on the top right corner of Chrome and click "New Incognito Window"

To use a Chrome extension in Incognito, copy and paste chrome://extensions into the URL bar in Incognito mode

Go to the Token Harvester extension > "Details" > Toggle ON "Allow in Incognito"

Google Chrome Profile

To create a new Google Chrome profile click on your Google account image on the top right corner and click on "Add"

Sign into your Gmail accounts. One Chrome profile per Target account you have

Target Request Login

What is Request Login?

For Request Login you don't need to download any kind of extensions or harvesters as you would for Access Token Login. Request login method will also require shape cookies

If request login doesn't work for you, there's a much better chance Token Login will work

1. Go to Sessions and select Target

2. Click on Add Session or Edit an existing session by clicking on the gray pencil

3. Select Request Login in the login method field. The Target account email has to exactly match the email you have in your profile

4. Click Save

5. Run a task on either on an out of stock item or on a in stock item to ensure everything is setup correctly

ATC Cookies Overview

What are ATC Cookies?

ATC Cookies (also known as Shape cookies) are needed to add to cart and checkout hype/high demand items, also known as Shape protected items. ATC Cookies are also needed for the login step. ATC Cookies are independent of accounts meaning you don't need to be logged into a Target account to generate them

How do I generate ATC Cookies?

1. (Recommended) Stellar Target Browser Extension

2. Shape module

Stellar Target Browser Extension

This browser extension is needed if you don't want to use the Shape module to generate ATC cookies

1. Download: Stellar AIO Target Browser Extension V3

2. Extract the downloaded file

3. In Chrome, go to Manage Extensions

4. On the top right corner of the Manage Extensions page turn on Developer Mode and click Load Unpacked. Now select the folder that you extracted, it'll be located in Downloads

Generating ATC Cookies Using Extension

1. Go to https://www.target.com/ and navigate to any in stock item

2. Open your pinned Stellar browser extension

1. We recommend to enter your proxies you want to use when generating ATC cookies. These could be ISPs or residentials

2. Now toggle on both "Enable Extension" and "Enable Generator"

   1. There's no need to change the default interval

3. Your browser must remain open and visible so the extension can automatically generate cookies that'll automatically be used in the bot

Tags

It's required to create and utilize Tags tab for Target. Since it's strictly one checkout task per Target account, you can group SKUs into a single Tags group by follwing the steps below

1. Navigate to the Tags tab of the bot

1. Click on the green + symbol to create a Tag group

1. Enter a Tag group name

2. Click on Manage SKUs button and you can start entering the product SKUs you're interested in

1. You can now select a Tag Group during task creation (Input List field)

Task Overview

Monitor Mode

Shipping Mode

Login Mode

Reset Mode

Account Gen Mode

• Which Mode do I use?

  • Monitor mode will only monitor and ping your checkout watch tasks when they detect the item you're monitoring is in stock. The SKU needs to be the same for monitor mode tasks and checkout watch tasks like Shipping mode (watch task needs to be enabled)

  • Shipping mode is used if the product you want to checkout is Shipping fulfillment meaning it'll be delivered to your shipping address

  • Login mode is used to log into your accounts and refresh sessions. You can also add default address and payment method to your Target accounts from your profile

  • Reset mode is used to reset the password to your Target account if needed

  • Account Gen mode is used to generate Target accounts. We recommend to fill out at least the address for a faster checkout flow

• What does Profile mean?

  • Select a Profile you want to use and that profile information will be used when checking out items but you must check Override Payment checkbox to use profile information. If you leave that box unchecked, it will use your Target account saved information

    • The Target account email has to exactly match the email you have in your profile

• What type of Proxies should I use?

  • The best type of proxies to use on Target are ISPs and DCs. This is because you can run your tasks for a longer period of time without eating away your residential data

  • You need User:Password Authenticated Proxies in your checkout set to be able to use our antibot solution

    • If you're looking for proxies, check out Stella Proxies for high quality ISP and Residential proxies

• What is the Input List?

  • Select the Tag group you want to run which should have a full list of SKUs you entered when creating the Tag group

• What Delays should I use?

  • Monitoring Delay: We recommend to use delays of 8000-15000 depending on the quality of your proxies

    • It's required to have at least one monitor task per product

  • Reset Delay: 10000 or less

  • Delay for checkout tasks: 3000 or less

• What is a good QTY to use?

  • It's best to check with your cookgroup for quantity recommendations as different products may have different purchase limits set by the site

    • Stellar does not automatically adjust the quantity if you set a number higher than what's allowed

• Which Monitor Type should I use?

  • Api uses backend monitoring

  • Atc uses frontend monitoring

• What is the Endless Mode checkbox?

  • If you checkmark this box Stellar will try to checkout endlessly after every successful checkout

    • Endless Limit is used to set a maximum amount of checkouts when Endless Mode is enabled and Stellar will stop tasks once that limit is reached. For example 5

• What is the Use Account Address? checkbox?

  • This is a good option to run if you have default address set in your Target accounts, this does not slow down checkout speed. You can use Login Mode with 'Add Address' enabled

• What is the Override Payment? checkbox?

  • If you checkmark this box Stellar will use your profile payment information instead of the default payment info on your Target account

    • Override Payment should be used only if you need to add new card

• What is the Watch Task? checkbox?

  • The Watch Task option allows your checkout task (e.g., Shipping mode) to work together with a Monitor mode task. Here's how it works:

    • If you check this box, your checkout task will not monitor for restocks directly. Instead, it will wait for a Monitor mode task (with the same SKU) to detect a restock

      • Once the Monitor task detects the restock, it will "ping" the checkout (with the same SKU) task to run. The checkout task will then add the item to your cart and proceed to checkout

    When using the Watch Task option:

    1. Start your checkout task. It will display the message: "Waiting for Monitor Ping." This means it's ready and set up correctly

    2. When the Monitor task detects a restock, it will automatically trigger the checkout task (with the same SKU) to run

    If you leave the Watch Task checkbox unchecked, the checkout task will act independently. It will monitor the SKU itself, add the item to your cart, and checkout directly

• What is Use Rakuten? box?

  • Follow the Rakuten guide to set it up and check this box to earn cashback on eligible purchases

• What is Use TopCashback? box?

  • Follow the TopCashback guide to set it up and check this box to earn cashback on eligible purchases

• What is IMAP Session?

  • IMAP will allow Stellar to automatically pull the account verification codes that Target emails you for a faster and smoother experience

• What is Password?

  • You can choose your new password or Stellar will create a safe one

Using Red Card on Target

1. In bot, go to the profile section of Target

2. Edit the profile you would like to add the Target RedCard to (or create a new profile)

3. When entering the credit/debit card information click the Visa card option
