# Profiles

### Creating Profiles and Groups

One of the first things you should do is set up your profiles, since they are required to check out products. Click **Profiles** in the top navigation bar to go to the profiles page and get started.

To begin, click the blue **Add** icon in the top left corner. This will open a window where you can create a profile group and give it a name.

Profile groups help keep your profiles organized. For example, you can create separate groups for different addresses, sites, or tasks. Once a group has been created, you can add and manage profiles inside that group.

To add a profile to the selected group, click the second blue **Add** icon to the right of the group name at the top of the page. This will open the profile creation window for that group.

Here, enter the information you want the bot to use during checkout. Once done, press **Create** to create the profile. And the profile should now show up profiles table.

It is recommended to create a test group with a test profile using dummy information. This lets you test tasks without placing a real order.
{% endhint %}

### Profile Expressions

Valor supports profile expressions, which let you create random or unique shipping details every time a task is run. If you use profile expressions, the profile will not change to show the final generated information after it is saved. The expressions will stay visible in the profile, and Valor will generate the real information only when the task runs at checkout.

This feature is not supported for Nike Draw tasks.

* `%char3%` generates 3 random letters. Replace `3` with any number to generate more or fewer letters.
* `%num3%` generates 3 random numbers. Replace `3` with any number to generate more or fewer digits.
* `%fname%` generates a random first name.
* `%lname%` generates a random last name.
* `%dot%` adds a Gmail dot trick to the beginning of your email. For example: `%dot%username@gmail.com`\
  This only works with Gmail addresses.
* Entering `0` in the phone number field generates a random, valid US phone number.

### Profile Spreadsheet

You can also mass import profiles by using the profile CSV linked [here](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1N6p_t4p2W1VVYGWvjyLBJBeqDSkaRDCMOZ6kwPTY18E/edit?usp=sharing).

### Import/Export

You can also import and export profiles and profile groups.

The **Import** and **Export** buttons under the **Profile Groups** section are used to import or export multiple profile groups at the same time.

The **Import** and **Export** buttons next to the selected profile group name at the top of the table are used to import or export profiles for that single group only.

It is important to use the correct buttons for the option you are working with. Using the wrong import or export option may cause your profiles to import incorrectly.
