Best Buy CA Task Setup

Guest Mode

Monitor Mode

Guest Mode

Guest mode is used for checkout tasks. It can be paired with monitor mode to only run when your monitor task detects that an item is in stock. Guest mode tasks will get a list of surrounding stores based on profiles before going into waiting for monitor ping. If a monitor task picks up a store that matches that list, it will ping and begin the checkout process.

Monitor Mode

Currently, only in-store pickup monitor is supported. Monitor mode will monitor local stores around a set radius based on the user's profile. When using monitor tasks, it'll ping every task that shares the same store as the normal task.

Profile

Select the appropriate profile you would like to use to checkout.

Proxies

DCs and ISPs are the best proxies for Best Buy CA due to speed. Residentials also work but may have high usage. Best Buy CA is pretty strict in terms of IP Ranges, so only Canada-based proxies have been known to work on a consistent basis.

SKU

A SKU is an item-specific identification ID that is unique to a single item. Best Buy CA SKUs tend to be near the end of the link. For example, in the link "https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/apple-airpods-max-over-ear-noise-cancelling-bluetooth-headphones-silver/15204589", the SKU is 15204589.

Delays

For Best Buy CA, any delay between 3000 and 5000 is good for running 24/7.

Quantity

A good quantity to use is 1. Most hyped items have a 1-per-cart limit and possibly a 1-per-person or household limit. Most orders won't be able to place if there is more than 1 quantity in the cart.

Fulfillment Options

There are currently two fulfillment options you can utilize:

Pickup

Will randomly select a store at your pre-defined pickup radius.

Shipping

Will deliver the item to your shipping address set out in your profile.

Pickup Radius

Specify the distance from your profile postal code to have your item picked up in-store. If this value is left blank, the default value will be 25 miles. Note that the units are in miles and not kilometers.

Watch Task

Select this checkbox if you want to utilize monitor mode.
