Walmart

Refract's Walmart module runs Walmart's queue-based drops, most notably the Wednesday card drops at around 9:00 PM EST. Everything Walmart lives in three guides.

The three guides

Building your setup (accounts, IMAP, profiles, proxies, task groups, task settings, scaling):

Walmart Setup Guide

Running the drop (queue and FCFS drops: when to start tasks, saved sessions, queue behavior, and every error explained):

Walmart Release Guide

Entering a drawing (a separate release type, entered in Drawing mode, with no queue and no checkout):

Walmart Drawings

Seeing an error right now? Check the guides before opening a ticket. Drop-night errors like Access Denied (456) and the queue statuses are in the release guide's Common Errors & Fixes. Errors that can happen any time, like card, address and proxy issues, are in the setup guide's Errors section.

Quick reference: new user setup order

1. Get your Walmart accounts ready. Accounts with SMS attached always check out; SMS-less accounts only work while Walmart has enforcement switched off.

2. Add accounts to Refract (Accounts tab) and create an Account Group.

3. Set up IMAP in Settings for auto-login codes.

4. Create or import profiles (Profiles tab) and create a Profile Group.

5. Create proxy lists (Proxies tab): task (residential), and optionally queue (ISP). Your task list can double as the monitor list.

6. Create a Walmart task group and configure the monitor settings.

7. Create tasks in the group with your profiles, accounts, and proxy lists.

8. On a day before the drop, not drop day, log all tasks in (Saved Session OFF), then stop them and bulk-edit Saved Session ON.

9. Start tasks early on drop day. Hours early is fine and encouraged; with no SKU they sit on Waiting for Product using no data.

10. Paste the SKU into the task group when it's known.

11. Let tasks run. Do not stop them while they are in queue.

The rules that never change

• Multi-SKU works for Walmart queue drops, but it is not multi-queue: all tasks in the group join the first queue that picks up. Run one task group per queue you want to ride.

• One account and one unique profile per task, per product.

• Task proxies: US-based sticky residential. The same list can also run your monitor.

• OID and Skip Monitoring stay off for queue drops unless we explicitly say otherwise.

• Mode stays on Normal for queue drops and FCFS restocks. Drawing is solely for entering a Walmart drawing.

• The Walmart task limit is 2,000 per instance. The average competitive setup runs 800-1,200 tasks, with 1,000-1,500 per instance as the practical ceiling.
