# Footsites

### How Releases Work

Footsites includes sites such as **Foot Locker US/CA** and **Champs Sports US/CA**. These sites release products on a first-come, first-served basis through their websites. Scheduled releases can usually be found on their release calendar, such as the example shown [here](https://www.footlocker.com/release-calendar).

### Creating Tasks

To run Footsites, select one of the supported footsites in the **Site** drop-down when creating a task group.

To add a task 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 task creation window for that group.

* **Monitor Input (PID):** Enter the product PID for the item you want to check out. The PID is not the same as the regular SKU. The correct PID can be found on the product page under **Details**, labeled as **Product#: 123**
* **Size:** Select the size you want to check out. You can choose a specific size or a random size if available.
* **Proxy Group (optional):** Select a proxy group if you want to run your tasks on proxies. Using proxies is highly recommended.
* **Profile Group:** Select the profile group you want your tasks to use.
* **Profile:** Select the profile you want the task to use.
* **Task Quantity:** Enter the number of tasks you want to create.

Once your settings are configured, click **Create** to create your tasks.

### Running Release

Running Footsites releases is very simple. Start your tasks about **60 seconds before the release time**. Your tasks will initialize, pick up the product, handle anti-bot, and begin attempting to add to cart before the release.

Before the product is live, your task status may loop between **Out of Stock** or **Product Not Live**. Even after the stock goes live, tasks may continue cycling through these statuses for a short time. This is normal. Once the site allows the task to cart the product, it will do so and then begin checkout.

There is usually no clear **release starting** phase in the task statuses. Your tasks will simply keep attempting to add to cart until the site allows them to.

### Anti Bots

Footsites uses the **Kasada** anti-bot system. This anti-bot focuses on both proxy reputation and the device you are running Valor on. It can detect certain signs that make your setup appear less human, such as running on a server or on a device without a GPU. Because of this, these types of environments may be flagged more easily.

If you are having issues with Kasada, try troubleshooting by changing your proxies or running Valor on a local device such as your PC or laptop, instead of a server.

### Common Issues

**Cancels**

Footsites will sometimes cancel orders after checkout. Unfortunately, there is no consistent or reliable way to prevent this. The best approach is to experiment with different profile information, such as using different emails, addresses, and payment methods, to see what works best.
