Task Setup Guide for Media Markt
In this article, we will cover how to set-up your tasks for a Media Markt release.
Create a task
To create a task, open your tasks.csv file within the Carnage folder.
Here you'll need to complete the following columns:
Site
In order to run the Media Markt module, input Mediamarkt here.
Check Stock
Here you can select whether you want Carnage to monitor the item before attempting checkout. You can either input True or False.
Product ID/PID
For this column you can either enter the PID or the URL of your desired product.
If you would prefer to use the PID, then you can locate this at the end of the products URL.
In this instance, the PID would be: 1492295
Quantity
This module supports the option of selecting the quantity of the item that you would like to checkout. If you leave this empty, then the default quantity will be 1.
Price Range
Here you can input your desired price range. You need to enter this in a MIN-MAX format. For example, if you wanted to checkout something between the values of $400 and $700, then you would enter 400-700 here.
Profile Name
Here you need to insert a valid profile name. Media Markt is less strict when it comes to one checkout per profile/card so you are able to checkout multiple per profile. However some items such as GPUs theses are usually one per profile/card keep this in mind.
Account
There is the option to use an account with this module. Here, you will need to input your account log-in details in a email:password format. If you have these details inputed, then the bot will automatically checkout via your account. Carnage will use your accounts pre-saved details for this, and NOT your profile information.
Method
There are six payment methods available. These are PayPal, Credit Card, GiroPay, Store, Vorkasse, Direct and Packstation.
The Paypal option will send you a webhook that will allow you to checkout the item manually. You will need the extension installed for this.
You must have the Carnage Bot extension installed in order successfully access the Paypal link.
The Credit Card option will automatically checkout the item for you, You will likely need to be prepared to accept 3DS verification once this happens.
The GiroPay option is a payment method that is linked to your current account. Payments are debited directly from this and the goods value of a return is credited there.
The Store option allows you to checkout your desired item with the intention of picking the item up within store. To use this mode, you must select which store you would like to run for by filling in the Store_ID column.
The Vorkasse option allows you to pay in advance. As soon as your order has been checked and processed, you will receive an order confirmation from Mediamarkt with the invoice amount to be transferred.
The Direct option allows you to use the "Direktüberweisung" payment method. After checking out with this payment method, you will be redirected to the Deutsche Bank website.
The Packstation option allows you to have your order delivered to a designated Packstation location. To use this option, you need to fill in your Postnumbet and Stationnumher in the Store_ID collumn. The format for this should be xxxx-xxxx.
You can find more information in regards to these payment methods here.
Please note that for some releases, Media Markt only have select payment methods available. If this is the case, then Carnage will automatically adjust the task to checkout with whichever method is available.
Store ID
We have complied a list of Store IDs for MediaWorld which you can find attached along side the task example at the bottom of this article.
Mode
There are three modes available. These are Default, Clear and Monitor
The Default mode will checkout your desired item with your chosen payment method.
The Clear mode will clear your cart before attempting to checkout.
The Monitor mode allows you to monitor specific items. Once the task picks up that the item has come back into stock, then Carnage will start all additional tasks that you have prepared.
With Monitor mode, you can use either the PID, URL or Keywords (for example "+PS5;+Digital;-Joystick") Here, if every positive (+) Keyword matches the product restocking, then your tasks will start. However, if one of the negative (-) keywords are present within the product title, then the tasks wont start. You can therefore use this method to ensure that the bot only starts on the products that you want.
Additionally, Monitor mode wont use your proxies when in use on Mediamarkt DE/ES. Therefore you can run this mode 24/7 without using any data until the monitor task detects a restock and your task begins running.
Once the monitor task detects stock, it will then begin the checkout process.
Error Delay
Here you can set your desired Retry / Monitor delay. You can write this in a Retry-Monitor format. For example, we recommend using 3000-3000 for an initial release.
If you are using proxies, you may want to increase/decrease the delays depending on your setup.
Proxy List
Here you want to select the proxies that you would like to use. We recommend that you use a mixture of datacentre and sticky residential proxies to ensure the best likely-hood of success.
We would not recommend that you run any more than two tasks proxyless.
We recommend a proxy to task ratio of 3:1 this is to help you avoid getting your proxies banned.
Store Country
Currently DE and ES regions are supported for this module. To select which country you would like to run for, you need to fill in your countries name in this column. The format of the country must be written fully. For example, ES should be Spain.
