Amazon

Basic Setup

Task Group Creation

• Before creating tasks, you must create a new task group for Amazon. For help on creating a new task group, follow this guide.

Monitor Setup (PID)

• After creating a task group, you will want to use the PID of the product provided by our release guides or can be found at the end or the URL. Using a URL will not work.

  • https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08SGTGTZD

    • The monitor input would be: B08SGTGTZD

      

Monitor Settings

1. Use Multi Input: Enable multiple inputs for monitoring (PID ONLY). Useful when wanting to run multiple products in as single task group.

2. Monitor Inputs: Field to enter single or multiple (with use multi input) PIDs. Reference PID setup above here.

3. Proxy List: Dropdown to select your proxy list to be used for the monitoring process ONLY. Reference proxy list setup here.

4. Monitor Delay: Time in milliseconds between each monitoring check. Helps manage the rate of requests to prevent being rate limited/blocked by Amazon.

5. Offer ID: Specific identifier for the product offer to monitor, used primarily for spamming add to cart on a particular seller or product version. Please refer to Offer ID setup below here.

6. Allow Third Party Vendors: Toggle on to include products offered by third-party vendors. This does not work when using Offer ID as that is already vendor specifc.

7. Allow Used Products: Toggle on to include used products. This does not work when using Offer ID as that is already item condition specific.

8. Price Min: Minimum price filter for the products in the monitor (price is pre-tax & shipping, not available when Offer ID is in use).

9. Price Max: Maximum price filter for the products in the monitor (price is pre-tax & shipping, not available when Offer ID is in use).

Scheduling & Advanced Monitoring Settings

1. Auto Start on Restart: Toggle to automatically restart the monitoring process if the bot restarts.

2. Notify when Offer ID Found: Toggle to send a notification to your notification webhook when a product is found.

3. Skip Monitoring (If Offer ID is present): Toggle to skip the monitoring setup for already known Offer IDs. This essentially spams product to cart.

4. Max. Checkout Errors: Maximum allowed checkout errors before stopping the operation and returing to monitor.

5. Loop Checkouts: Toggle to continuously attempt checkouts after each successful checkout.

Task Setup

• Reminder: Always log into accounts under the 'Accounts' tab before creating tasks. This ensures that each task is associated with a specific account, necessary for tasks to execute correctly.

1. Mode:

   • Choose between Turbo and Normal mode. Please see mode section below.

2. Use Account Proxy:

   • Toggle this option to use the proxy assigned to the account in the account page.

3. Proxy List:

   • Dropdown to select your proxy list to be used for the checkout process ONLY. Reference proxy list setup here.

4. Account & Account Group:

   • Account: Click to select one or more accounts from a dropdown list. Each task will run under the selected account(s).

   • Accoung Group: Click to select one of your predefined account groups. The entire account group will be used.

5. Force Free Shipping (Slower):

   • Toggle this to prioritize free shipping on accounts without prime, note though this may slow down the checkout time.

6. Error Delay:

   • Set the time in milliseconds to wait after encountering an error before retrying the task.

7. Task Quantity:

   • Define the number of tasks PER ACCOUNT to create.

8. Item Quantity:

   • Set the number of items each task attempts to purchase.

Mode

• Refract has two mode: Normal and Turbo

Turbo	Normal
Turbo mode will attempt to use the "Buy Now" button	Normal mode will add to cart and follow the checkout process normally.

• It is advised to run a mix of both modes for optimal success. Reasoning is that some products will have turbo checkout disabled and will require a normal flow checkout.

Advanced Setup with Offer ID

• Offer ID Reminder: A unique identifier for a specific product offer from a seller. Using an Offer ID targets and spams add to cart on that exact listing, which can be useful for bypassing regular monitoring. This approach is particularly effective for focusing on a specific seller or product condition (new, used, etc.) that you can spam for cart.

Skip Monitoring Toggle

• Skip Monitoring (If Offer ID is present): Use this toggle to skip the monitoring setup when the Offer ID is already known. This option is beneficial in scenarios such as when the product release time is known, or when a product is actively restocking and faster action is needed. Activating this toggle essentially spams the product into the cart, allowing for quicker acquisition.

FAQ

How many accounts do I need?

Can I use Amazon Teen or Business accounts?

What delays should I run?

• Monitor: 1500

• Task: 1500

How many tasks per account can I run?

• It is best to run 1 task per account. Running multiple tasks per account may cause errors.

Why do I get "No Default Payment Method" or "No Default Address" is set, even when I have previously set defaults?

• Amazon may sometimes remove default settings due to updates or glitches, causing the system to prompt you to select a default payment method or address again during checkout. To ensure that your account has a preselected default option already set at checkout, follow these steps:

1. Address: Verify and set your default shipping address. You can do this by checking the address section located in the top left on the Amazon homepage. Make sure it is marked as the default.

2. Payment Method: Even if a default payment method was previously set, it might need to be refreshed. Remove your current default payment method and then add it again to re-establish it as the default.

Can I run an additional task on my Amazon account for a different item while it’s already doing freebies?

• Yes, you can do that just fine. Running an additional task for a different item on the same account won't cause any issues.
