Top Supported Bots

Profiles
Name
Random first, real last name
Random first, random last name
Address
In the past real address across multiple profiles worked fine.
Recently, they may have started to ban addresses. To get around this, it is recommended to jig slightly to avoid this.
Jig methods include the following:
Random Characters such as 3-4 letters after street number
Street Suffixes
Misspellings
It is not necessary to jig line 2 of address.
In the past they have not restricted checkouts to one per address.
Cards
Most cards should work, including:
American Express Employee Cards
Amex Extend
Capital One (Visa only, MasterCard does not work)
Hard Cards
Revolut
Slash
Stripe Issuing
Tradeshift
Some devs recommend to prioritize Visa cards over others.
Email
Real emails or catchalls work
Not restricted to one checkout per email.
Phone Number
Random Phone Number with Real Area Code
Matching Shipping and Billing
Mismatching shipping and billing address in the past has led to cancellations by their fraud protection in the past.
It is recommended to have shipping and billing information match.
Declines
Declines are common when botting Snipes.
Declines typically mean that the product is out of stock.
It also can mean that your address has been banned, but typically not the cause of it.
Duplicates/Checkout Limits
Snipes does not typically care for duplicate orders.
Cancels
Snipes does not usually cancel orders placed on initial drop.
Order stick rate seems best on initial drops.
Orders placed during restocks may be subjected to a higher chance of cancellation.
Queue-It
Snipes currently utilizes the Queue-It queue system. This queue will go up generally before a drop/restock.
There will be two queues to wait through. One on initial to go on their site and cart, and another to checkout.
AMNotify provides a Queue-It bypass for the initial queue through links provided in Discord. It is not possible to bypass the second queue for checkout since they are back to back queues.
Captcha
In order to enter queue, each task will need to solve a captcha. They currently utilize invisible reCAPTCHA v2 with their Queue-It system.
You can use a third party captcha solving service such as Capmonster, 2Cap, Anti-Captcha, etc.
Proxies
Residential proxies work best.
ISPs can work, but many struggle with being able to pass bot protection.
Snipes utilizes both PX and Cloudflare for bot protection.
Task to Proxy Ratio
ISP - one task per proxy. Running more tasks on an IP makes for a higher chance for the proxy to get flagged.
Residential - minimum of 3-5 proxies per task. Residential proxies are not as reliable or stable as ISP are, so you want to allow them to rotate as needed if they are dead or banned.
Monitor Input
Bots will use either variants or direct product link.
Variants will correspond to a specific size for a sneaker, similar to Shopify variants.
Example - 14287900040, 14287900044, 14287900047, 14287900034
AMNotify will provide variants and stock for each release.
Start Times
Tasks can be started as soon as Queue-It goes live for a drop.
Many bots lock Snipes outside of drops/queue since they don't typically do large restocks without queue.
Delays
A delay of 3500-4000 works well for most bots.
Running too low of a delay can cause errors and flags by bot protection.
Accounts
While accounts are not necessary, they can be helpful.
If you're logged into an account while carting, that account can complete checkout in another browser. This is helpful when botting, as many bots can cart but will not be able to bypass bot protection to checkout.
This means you cart with your bot, then complete checkout manually on your own browser after logging into the same account that carted.
Raffles
Instore raffles are done through the app.
Raffle odds of winning are solid and you should enter if you have stores nearby you.
Raffles will be pinged in the Discord server.
Manual Tips
When going manual, navigate first to https://www.snipesusa.com/ and then visit the product page after. This will help to avoid PX issues.
You can utilize a browser spoof tool such as AYCD to get more browser windows into queue. See the following below for an example.
Miscellaneous Notes
Tends to restock randomly throughout the day. For larger restocks (typically around 1- 4 PM EST), they will put Queue-It up.
It can be hard to hit initial drops with bots due to strict PX settings. This makes manual viable when going for drops.
Be sure to utilize bot safe mode features that allow you to cart with bot and checkout manually.
