Once on the Target website, click the puzzle icon then the Refract extension to open it.
Once the harvester opens, you have the option to choose a proxy list. If a list is chosen, a new proxy will be use on every page refresh.
Once the Refract extension is open, you can navigate to ANY INSTOCK PRODUCT to generate cookies. An easy product to use is here.

To use the extension to login to accounts, first add your accounts to the accounts tab in Refract.
Next, create Target tasks with your designated accounts.
Start those tasks and in the browser with the extension running, head over to the login page here.
After that, just turn on automation and it will harvest login cookies automatically. Note: you won't get signed in the browser, but your tasks should move from Waiting for Antibot Data to logged in and Waiting for Product if they were running.
What is Shape? Shape is Target’s anti-bot system, similar to a CAPTCHA, used to block automated behavior. The extension helps collect cookies to bypass this.
Do I need to activate the extension during botting? Yes, the extension must be active to collect cookies and ensure smooth anti-bot bypass during tasks.
Should the extension, task, and accounts use the same proxies? No. Different proxies can be used at each stage, and it won't affect IP performance.
When should I use ISP vs. residential proxies? ISP proxies are more stable for long-running tasks. Residential proxies are useful but consume data faster.
Why does my harvester show I’m signed out? This is normal. The harvester collects cookies, not sessions.
Does the harvester’s proxy need to match the task proxy? No, they can run on different proxies.
What is the workflow during product drops?
Start the bot task.
Activate the extension and automation.
Let the bot run to collect cookies and manage tasks.
Do I need to manually perform add-to-cart actions? No, the bot will automatically handle this when automation is enabled.
How do I set the number of browsers for the extension? Manually open the desired browsers, load the extension, and enable automation in each one.
Why are items not added to the cart during harvesting? Failed add-to-cart attempts are normal when gathering cookies. Once the product restocks, the bot will add it automatically.
What should I do if I get stuck on “Waiting for Login Anti-Bot”? Ensure you're logged into your account and that the extension is active. Restart the task if needed.
How can I prevent my IP from being blocked? Avoid using servers, which are often flagged. Use diverse, trusted IPs.
What does “Not Added to Cart” mean? It indicates that cookies are still being gathered. Enable “Don’t Stop Harvesting” to ensure the process continues smoothly during drops.
How often do cookies expire on Target? Cookie expiration times are dynamic and vary based on Target’s anti-bot system. Using trusted proxies can help ensure smooth operation, even with older cookies.
