Profiles
Name
First and Last name should ideally match the exact combination on your billing statement/card. Slight variations are okay as long it is clear the names are similar.
Address
Recommended to use the address shown on your billing statement for account reinstatement purposes. It is not necessary to jig your address, but you can do a slight variation of line 1/2 if desired.
Amazon does use an Address Verification System when adding address to account and shipping out orders.
Email
Account email will be used.
Cards
Most cards will work for Nike, including:
American Express
Amex Extend
Capital One Eno (Visa and MC)
Privacy (Visa and MC)
Revolut
Slash
Stripe Issuing
Tradeshift
Hard cards are recommended over VCC to help with account reinstatement when an account is locked for fraud review.
It is ideal to not reuse cards per account, though if you are limited on cards try not to use it on more than 2-3.
Phone Number
Real area code, random phone number.
Not necessary to use phone number used when creating account. This phone number should be removed always to prevent 2FA login issues since you won't be able to reuse that phone number.
Accounts
Accounts are required.
Amazon Prime is typically not required, although some console restocks did require them. For some bots it can help speed up checkout times.
Amazon household can be used to share Prime benefits allowing up to two adults per Prime account. Check with your bot first to see if this is supported.
EDU accounts should be eligible for a 6 month trial of Amazon Prime. This requires an EDU email to take advantage of.
Catchalls work for account generation, but often can be linked together and closed, so it's preferred to use emails from reputable domains such as Gmail.
Amazon does fraud review for all orders placed and can lock the account until you submit verification documents. Refer to Account Reinstatement Guide below for more info.
Account to task ratio will vary by bot. It is recommended to do up to 3 tasks per account.
If you are required to use a phone number when creating an account, you can use an SMS tool such as Text Verified, PVAcodes, SMSPVA, Online Sim, etc. to generate a phone number. Be sure to remove the phone number from your account by going to Account →Login & Security → Mobile Phone Number → Edit → remove afterwards.
Cards should ideally not be shared between accounts as Amazon has flagged this in the past, but if you are limited on cards, try not to use it for more than 3 accounts if possible.
It's helpful to make a note of the account creation IP if generating accounts, and using that IP when possible to log onto a session. Doing so will help to reduce the amount of accounts clipped after a successful purchase.
See the Account Guide below for more information.
AccountsMonitor Input
The fastest way to monitor products on Amazon is to use a combination of both product ASIN and OfferID.
ASIN is the SKU/PID of a product on Amazon. It can be found at the end of the link and by scrolling down to the product information table on Amazon.
Product links will be formatted as: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/ASIN/
OfferID can be thought of as a Shopify variant. It is the ID of a specific listing for an ASIN, seller, etc. OfferID monitoring is the fastest form of monitoring for Amazon.
OfferID’s do not expire right away, so you can reuse older OfferIDs for now once you have the correct one for an ASIN.
An OfferID can only be grabbed once it has officially released. For items that have yet to be listed from Amazon directly for sale, it is not possible to know what it is prior.
You can grab existing OfferIDs for products by referencing release channels and monitors in AM.
Bots that use serverside monitoring are already using a combination of ASIN/OfferID.
Proxies
ISP proxies work best. Some may be flagged or temp banned and not allowed to checkout.
Residential proxies work, but not recommended since they are slower.
1:1 ratio is recommended. Running more than this will likely cause a soft ban on the IP.
If proxy gets flagged, it may be required to solve a captcha to access Amazon, or give it a 24-48 hour break and raise delays.
Delays
Dakoza - 1000
Ominous - Automatically set
Stellar - 1500-2500
If proxies are getting flagged often, consider raising delays.
Start Times
Amazon bots should be started prior to a drop/restock.
Most bots support serverside monitoring, so you should be able to just login at any time and start tasks.
Captchas
Amazon uses a variant of Fun Captcha when creating accounts and if your IP has been flagged.
Most bots will not need to worry about this captcha as long as you are running a serverside monitoring mode and not running more than 1:1 proxy task ratio.
If you are monitoring 24/7 on your own proxies, you may need to raise delays or use a larger task proxy ratio list. If your proxies get captchas you'll need to let them rest for a few hours.
Cancels
Amazon cancels will often come from their fraud review process. If an account gets placed on hold, then chances are the order will be cancelled even if you get it reinstated. In some cases the order will be alive still.
Amazon can cancel for exceeding their allowed quantity limits for an item, even if you are using multiple accounts. This number can vary, such as 6, etc. depending on the drop and what Amazon has it set to. For treasure truck drops as we've seen recently with PS5 drops, they do not tend to cancel for this reason as much.
