### **Preliminary Checklist**

Before setting up tasks on Topps US, 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

* **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.

### **Captcha Harvesters** <a href="#h_ebe5f62d74" id="h_ebe5f62d74"></a>

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.

#### Task Strategy & Timing <a href="#task-strategy-and-timing" id="task-strategy-and-timing"></a>

**How Many Monitor Tasks Should I Create?**

* Run **1 Monitor task per SKU**.
* You can run multiple Monitor tasks if you want redundancy, but it’s **not required** and usually unnecessary.
* Monitor tasks are lightweight and can run 24/7.

**Recommended:** 1 Monitor task per SKU is sufficient for most users.

***

**How Many Checkout Tasks Per Account?**

* **Strictly 1 checkout task per Topps account.**
* Running more than one checkout task on the same account can cause:
  * Account locks
  * Checkout failures
  * Login/session instability

**Rule:** 1 account = 1 checkout task (no exceptions).

### **Task Overview**

Normal mode

  * **Normal mode** relies on you inputting the product URL and/or keywords. This mode is recommended for Topps
* What does **Profile** mean?
  * Select a **Profile** you want to use and that profile information will be used when checking out items
* What type of **Proxies** should I use?
  * Due to recent site changes, it is recommended to prioritize **residential proxies**, as most **ISP** proxies are currently banned. ISP proxies may still be used as a backup option for testing performance during a drop.
    * 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
* What is **Input**?
  * 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://www.topps.com/pages/topps-finest-x-men-97**](https://www.topps.com/pages/topps-finest-x-men-97)
    * **Keywords** are a way for the bot to pick up, checkout the item you would like an d are often provided from your [cookgroup](https://guides.stellaraio.com/stellar/getting-started-with-stellaraio/cook-groups). 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**
    * **Variants** are another way to identify a product and are often provided from your [cookgroup](https://guides.stellaraio.com/stellar/getting-started-with-stellaraio/cook-groups)
  * 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
* What are **keywords** and how do I enter them?
  * **Use + and - keywords** to find product and use commas to separate words. No spaces
  * Example is **+topps,+complete,+set,+baseball,-nhl**
* What **Delays** should I use?
  * Be careful with your delays, websites with any proxy protection will ban your proxies fast. Use a wide variety of delays between 4000-8000
    * To edit delays without stopping the task you can use the mass edit button
* What is **Size**?
  * Select the **Size** of the product you're trying to checkout

  * If you would like to use a discount code during checkout, click this checkbox and input the discount code
* What is **Wait for Checkpoint**? box?
  * Only check this if you want your task to wait for a checkpoint when starting. This is not recommended for Topps US
* What is **Price Check?** box?
  * Only check this box if you want to add a price check prior to your purchase to filter down more on the product you intend to purchase. This will prevent purchasing products over a specific price
    * After you check this box, a new field will appear, type in the field what the safe max price is for your product. If the product you want to purchase is $29.99 then you can enter `30` into this field
