Shopify Guide
Overview
Shopify powers hundreds of sneaker and streetwear stores including Kith, Bodega, Concepts, Undefeated, A Ma Maniere, Social Status, and many more. Drops on Shopify sites sell out in seconds, so speed is everything. Bots work by either using the storefront API (fast mode) or browser automation (safe mode) to add to cart and checkout. Keyword monitoring is critical since most stores load products right at drop time. Shopify is the most botted platform in the game, and stores constantly update their bot protection.

Basic Information
Drop Time
Varies by store. Most hype drops land at 11AM ET. Kith drops at 11AM ET on Fridays. Concepts and Bodega vary. FCFS (first-come-first-served) drops can go live unannounced. Always check the specific store and cook group monitors for exact times.
Keywords
Keywords in the product title or URL handle are used to identify and monitor products. Set positive keywords (words that must match) and negative keywords (words to exclude). For example: "+yeezy +350 -infant" would target Yeezy 350s but skip infant sizes. Style codes also work when available.
Recaptcha
Some Shopify stores use Shopify Bot Protection (checkpoint challenge) and reCAPTCHA on the checkout page. Stores like Kith have added aggressive bot detection. Safe mode in bots handles these challenges but is slower than fast mode.
Multiples
Depends on the store. Most stores limit 1 per checkout session, but you can place multiple orders with different profiles. Some stores allow multiple items per cart. Stores like Kith are strict and will cancel duplicate orders.
Recommended Bots
- Wrath AIO
- Trickle Bot
- CyberSole
- Kodai AIO
- Valor AIO
- MEKAIO
Wrath AIO and Trickle Bot are considered top-tier for Shopify with both fast and safe checkout modes. CyberSole and Kodai AIO also have strong Shopify modules. Grab these from Bot Mart or Botbroker. For manual users, browser extensions with autofill and preloaded checkout pages can compete on lower-heat drops. Always have your bot updated to the latest version since Shopify stores patch bot bypasses frequently.
Proxies
Preferred: Residential proxies for safe/browser mode (Leaf, Oculus, Bright Data)
Alternative: DC proxies for fast mode where speed matters more than stealth
Proxy choice depends on your checkout mode. Safe mode (browser-based) needs residential proxies to avoid detection. Fast mode (API-based) benefits from DC proxies for raw speed but some stores block DC ranges. For high-heat drops, run a mix of both. Use proxies located near the store servers (most US Shopify stores are hosted on US East Coast). Avoid overusing the same proxy subnet across too many tasks.
Botting Setup
Start Time
30 seconds to 1 minute before drop time for fast mode. 2-3 minutes before for safe mode so the browser sessions are loaded and ready.
Delays
1000-2500ms for fast mode. 2500-4000ms for safe mode. Lower delays increase speed but also increase ban risk.
Task to Profile Ratio
2-3 tasks per profile is safe. Running too many tasks on one profile can result in all of them getting payment declined. Spread your tasks across profiles.
Desktop to Mobile Ratio
70:30 desktop to mobile for Shopify. Desktop tasks (especially fast mode) tend to be faster. Some stores serve different pages to mobile user agents which can cause issues.
Profile Setup
Name
Use real-sounding names. Can use the same name across a few profiles but jig everything else. For Kith and other strict stores, use unique names per profile.
Use catch-all email domains. Each checkout should use a different email. Gmail dot trick ([email protected] vs [email protected]) works on some stores but not all. Unique emails are always safer.
Address
Jig addresses with apartment/unit numbers. Most Shopify stores only check for exact address matches, so adding "Apt 1," "Suite A," or "Unit 2" to your address line is enough to make each profile unique.
Phone
Use random phone numbers with your real area code. Most Shopify stores do not verify phone numbers. Just make sure the format is valid (10 digits).
Card
Different cards across profiles give the best results. Virtual cards from Privacy.com are ideal. Some stores will decline multiple orders on the same card. For Shop Pay checkouts, each account needs its own card.
Cancel Information
Cancellation policies vary by store. Most Shopify stores let you request cancellation via email if the order has not shipped yet. Some stores (Kith, Bodega) proactively cancel bot orders within 24-48 hours. If you get a confirmation email, it is not guaranteed until it ships.
