Welcome to my guide. If you’re reading this, then it must be your first time using eStock, or maybe even a bot, ever. This is a step-by-step guide starting from the very beginning on how to set up eStock. Hopefully you’re already in the Discord, because if you couldn’t figure that part out you’re most likely not going to set up the bot properly.
- Go to the #downloads channel on the discord and download eStock.zip.
- Make a folder on your desktop called “eStock,” or whatever you want to call it.
- Go to Virus & threat protection > “manage settings” under virus and threat protection settings. > add or remove exclusions > add folder > eStock. (or whatever you decided to name the folder that you made in step 2). This is because the update.exe folder is often times removed by Windows Defender.
4. Drag the eStock.zip folder from step 1 into the folder from step 2.
5. Right click on the eStock.zip folder and extract it to the eStock folder.
6. Run the update.exe folder.
7. This is where you’ll want to configure your Proxies&webhook.ini file, the Tasks.xlsl file, and, if you’re running anything other than Newegg, your settings.ini file.
Proxies: When you’re editing your proxies&webhook file, remember that all the proxies need to be on the same line. You can use this website to automatically convert them. https://www.textfixer.com/tools/remove-line-breaks.php. (Leave a space between the “=” and your first proxy)
Webhook: In order to create a webhook, just go to your Discord server, create a new channel and click on the settings. From here, go to Integrations and create a webhook. Copy and paste the link that it gives you for the webhook.
Tasks.xlsl: For the tasks, you will want to watch the guides in the #guides channel of the eStock discord.
8. Once you have these three files configured, you can start eStock.exe. Enter your key and hit enter.
9. Once you’re at the menu, you’ll be able to import your tasks (which you need to do every time you open eStock,) start a login session for certain websites, and then start the tasks for those websites.
In the next section of the guide, I’ll go over how to setup Amazon on your eStock.
Before you fire up eStock and login to your Amazon account through the bot, there is some preparation that needs to be done and some things you need to know.
There are two different sessions when you go to create an Amazon login session (which you’ll need to do every time you open estock)
Session 2 is the preferred login session as it is faster and will not log you out of the account after a long period of time.
When you choose session 2, you will be asked for a path. You can find the path by entering chrome://versions into your browser and copying the Profile Path without the \Default on the end. REMEMBER THAT YOU NEED TO CLOSE ALL YOUR CHROME INSTANCES BEFORE YOU SUBMIT THE PATH, OR ELSE YOU WILL GET AN ERROR.
After you enter the path, you’re ready to start your tasks that you entered in Tasks.xlsl. Hit 2 and you’ll see them all start to appear.
Once they’re all started you can press 0 to go back to the main menu and then 12 to view your running tasks. It may feel like the bot isn’t running, but it should be working.
In the next section of the guide I’ll go over some useful tips/information.
- For Amazon.com, a delay of 0 is recommended in the Tasks.xlsl sheet.
- For Amazon.com you can run up to 8 tasks per proxy, but it may affect your speeds. I normally do 1.5 tasks for every proxy.
- Most people run ~10 tasks for the same item.
- ISP proxies are recommended to run eStock.
- Newegg bans proxies very fast, so it’s safest to run it right before a big drop, and to use a delay of 4,000–5,000.
- Amazon.com does not use a checkout proxy.
- If you need to use your key on a different device, you will need to message the eStock bot in the discord “!deactivate <your key>”. It sounds scary, but it won’t unbind the key from the Discord account. Just your computer.
- Running tasks endlessly will have a task endlessly try to checkout once it goes in stock. Setting this to “no” will (most likely) not affect your hit-rate on limited drops.
- If you’re getting a “This page isn’t working” error when you enter your path, clear your Chrome cache and try again.
