Target

Task Setup

Step 1: Target requires accounts. If your account already has a saved credit card and address, then you have to use the same credit card on your task just in case Target asked for a credit card confirmation. Otherwise, you would have to click the New Payment check box which will submit a new payment method in case you don’t have one. Or it will delete the already submitted payment method and enter the one that your task is using.

Step 2: Target requires TCIN which is the PID. In order to get the TCIN, you can check with your CGs. You can also get it by extracting it from the item URL. For example: https://www.target.com/p/-/A-13317298#lnk=sametab For this item, the TCIN is 13317298.

Step 3: Make sure you login to your accounts prior to drop time: Target task will login using the browser since Target has security on their login. Here, cookies will be saved and used if you want to login again using the same account.

Step 4: Target has Shape security on their Add to Cart. You can use Shape Harvester task mode to launch a browser to harvest shape cookies before an hour or so from drop time. Harvester would open an item where you should MANUALLY press the add to cart button for higher pass rate

After 15 harvested cookies, the browser will close and re-open with a new proxy. In case cookies were invalid for some reason on drop time, the bot will initiate a shape harvester that automatically clicks the add to cart button regardless of task mode.

Step 5: If Pick UP option is enabled, the task will search for the nearest code from your zip code. The limit of the search is 100mile by default, and you can change that limit in the Advanced setting. For example, if your zip code is 95003 and your task radius is 50mile, the task will search within a 50mile radius from the 95003 zip code.

Note: Entering a wider radius (e.g. 50 ~ 200 miles) will increase your chances in copping, but it might cost you extra fees to get the item.

In case you need a specific store to checkout from, click the Advanced button and enter 1 or more Store id(s) in this format 111,222,333,444 (For multiple stores). To find your Store id, all you have to do is to check this link: LINK and replace YOUR_ZIPCODE with your actual zip code, then press CTRL + F to search for location_id, these would be your store ids.

Release Tips

  • You cannot run multiple tasks using the same account

  • The bot will be using the address that’s attached to your account, not the billing profile that’s assigned to the task

  • It is better to prepare the bot on the same machine you will be using during drop time (e.g. If you want to run NSB on a server, make sure to open NSB and login using your accounts on that same server)

  • It’s preferred to use an old account with previous purchases

  • Target has 3 modes Fast, Safe, and Harvester. Safe decreases your chances of getting declines, while Fast can be used on non-hyped items. As for Harvester, it’s used only to generate required cookies for Target tasks

  • For proxies, the best type of proxies to use are ISPs and DCs. Since you are going to run your tasks for a long period of time monitoring products
