Click Site Manager to view the list of sites, you saved in the previous step. From here you will select your site and set up your task(s)There are two additional options in this tab for Saved Sites and Load Sites.
To Start or Schedule a task, first double click the site you would like to set up for.
After you double click the site, you will see the popup below. There are a lot of options here for your task setup. We will look over all options on this screen.
Check this box to only have it search and attempt to checkout one time. Leaving the box unchecked will allow the bot to refresh an make make additional attempts to checkout the item after an unsuccessful checkout.
Check this box for the bot to use a proxy from the proxy file you previously saved. Leaving the box unchecked will use your local ip.
Live Browser allows you to view the instance(s) as it it navigating through the site
Headless will start all instances without the browser being visible on the user's end. Meaning it will still navigate through the search & checkout process without you being able to see what is happening in each browser
Use the dropdown menu under Select the payment model for checkout. You must select a payment profile for the bot to attempt a checkout. If no payment model is selected the bot will cart the item, but it will not be able to checkout.
Refresh rates are for how often the bot will refresh the site to find the item or re-attempt the link provided. Refreshing the site too many times will temporarily ban your ip address. Making sure you have the right refresh rate is very important in preventing your ip from being banned/blocked from the site.
The standard "unbanned" refresh rate for shopify sites is 3 seconds (3000ms). However, depending on how many proxies you have your can shorten your refresh rate. You can use this calculator to find the unbannable delays based on your proxy to task ratio, just click here. Visit the SNB discord for recommended refresh rates, prior to a release.
Task to proxy ratios must be a minimum of 1:1 One task to One Proxy
With SNB you can set up your task as far in advance as you would like. You will want your task to start 30 seconds prior to the items scheduled release time (unless otherwise noted in the SNB discord).
This button will delete the corresponding task.
This button will make a duplicate of your current task.
Clicking the Update Task Button will start/schedule the task. If you need to make an adjustment to an active task, make your necessary changes and click the update task button. It will only make the changes for the current task you selected.
