Before creating tasks, you must create a new task group for Target. For help on creating a new task group, follow .
After creating a task group, you will want to use the SKU 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.target.com/p/local/A-81114595
The monitor input would be: 81114595
Proxy List: proxy list used to checkout (leave blank for localhost - not recommended)
Account: Every task will need an account. You can select individual accounts or use .
Error Delay: task delay. Recommended to be left at 3500
Hype Product must be enabled for all Target drops that require Shape cookies.
Use In-Bot Solution for Shape will use Refract's Shape autognerator.
Our new login method uses One-Time Passwords (OTP), enhancing login success but requiring more cookies.
Implementation Steps
Update Extension:
Harvest Multiple Login Cookies:
Collect multiple cookies per page load to speed up the login process.
Connect IMAP:
Ensure IMAP is connected to your email to automatically retrieve OTP codes.
Troubleshooting
Verify your extension is up-to-date.
Ensure IMAP is configured correctly.
Check cookie harvesting settings.
Tasks will use the HARVESTER PROXY to add to cart (ATC) AND to login now. Meaning whatever proxies you are using in your extension harvester or in-bot harvester will be used for your tasks. It is thus best to have good ISP proxies and to not run residential proxies.
Select the Account: In the accounts section, click on the account you want to log into.
Click “Login”: Simply press the “Login” button in the top right after selecting the account.
Auto Login Feature: The bot will automatically log in to the account for you.
Important: There is no need to right-click, open a new browser, or try to log in manually.
If you do, the bot’s auto-login feature won’t work correctly, and you may encounter issues.
Login to accounts using the extension and OTP if the accounts tab method is blocked.
Enable 'Hype Product' mode for shape-protected (high-demand) items.
Use the extension to bypass antibot systems more effectively.
Start tasks and activate automation on the extension with default settings for smooth operation.
Do I need accounts? Yes, you need accounts to use the bot.
Do I need to log in to accounts before creating tasks? No, but it's recommended to log in using the in-bot solution in the accounts tab before creating and running your tasks.
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. Make sure login cookies have been generated.
Do I need cookies? Yes, if you’re running a protected product (like high-demand or hype items).
What are cookies? Cookies are essential for bypassing Target’s anti-bot measures. They ensure smooth processes for adding items to carts and logging in to accounts.
How do I get cookies? You can use:
In-Bot Solution: Simplifies the process but is less reliable.
Extension: Recommended for its higher success rate by utilizing your local browser.
What is the In-Bot Solution? A simpler but less reliable method that works well if Target has not recently restocked. It doesn't require a display connection but performs better if browsers are visible.
Can I use both the in-bot solution and the extension together? Yes, both can be used simultaneously, with extension cookies being prioritized by default.
How do I know if a product is shape-protected? High-demand products like trading cards, consoles, or limited drops are typically protected. To test, run a task without 'Hype Product' mode. If blocked, the product is protected.
Can the bot reset my Target account's password? Currently, password reset is not available but might be added soon.
