Appearance
Thalia
Guest checkout, home delivery, prepayment. OrbitAIO orders on thalia.de or thalia.at without an account, and you transfer the money afterwards.
Start the task before the drop
This is the most important thing on this page.
Thalia makes you register as a guest before it will sell you anything, and that registration is the slow part of the whole checkout. OrbitAIO does it up front, before the task starts waiting for stock, so when the item appears the only work left is add-to-cart and order.
Do not put a placeholder item in the cart
There is no warm-up product for Thalia and you should not create one. The guest step runs fine with an empty cart, and a placeholder article only gets in the way — the cart guard below will stop the order because of it.
The same applies to monitor and wildcard tasks: the guest step needs no product, so it runs up front there too.
Requires the captcha service key
The guest step needs the captcha service key under Settings → Captcha. Without it the task stops rather than retrying forever. Each session rebuild uses one solve.
Long waits are cheap
A Thalia session does not live forever, so a waiting task rebuilds itself roughly every 40 minutes — new session, new guest registration, one solve. Nothing for you to do, and no cart is lost, because the cart is only filled at the drop.
A task can therefore wait indefinitely at a cost of about one solve per hour.
Setup
1. Profile fields
First name, last name, e-mail and the full shipping address.
Street and house number belong in separate fields
Thalia asks for them separately. If you put them in one field the task tries to split it and aborts with a clear message when it cannot.
For credit card you also need the card details on the profile, otherwise the task stops with "No card in profile".
2. Create the task
| Field | What to enter |
|---|---|
| Product | Article number (e.g. A1067387912) or the full product page URL |
| Country | Germany (thalia.de, default) or Austria (thalia.at) |
| Payment Method | Prepayment (default) or Credit Card |
| Quantity | A number. The whole quantity goes in at once and is verified |
| Max Price | Optional ceiling in EUR — read the note below |
| Delay | How often the task re-checks stock |
| Profile | The profile with the address, and the card for card payments |
| Proxy | Optional, recommended when running several tasks |
Product input
| Format | Example |
|---|---|
| Article number | A1067387912 |
| Full product URL | https://www.thalia.de/shop/home/artikeldetails/A1067387912 |
Every Thalia product URL ends in the article number, so either works. Input the app does not recognise is rejected rather than guessed at.
Payment
| Method | What happens |
|---|---|
| Prepayment (default) | The order is placed and you transfer the money afterwards. Nothing to confirm during checkout — the only method that finishes entirely on its own |
| Credit Card | Card details are encrypted locally and sent with the order. It can end in a bank confirmation you have to complete by hand |
PayPal is deliberately not offered — it ends in a redirect you would have to follow manually, so it cannot finish a drop unattended.
Before selecting a method the task asks the shop which ones this basket allows. If your choice is not among them, the task stops and lists the accepted ones.
Prepayment orders are not paid yet
The order exists but ships only once your transfer arrives. Thalia sends you the bank details.
Max Price and the cart guard
Max Price is optional and recommended — with one thing to know.
It checks the item's own price, not the cart total. A second or foreign article in the cart would sail past the limit, and with prepayment that is your own money.
That is what the cart guard is for: immediately before ordering, the cart must contain only the target article in the target quantity. If it does not, the task stops without sending the order — status "Cart contents unexpected - stopped", and the log says explicitly that nothing was sent.
Out of stock
A normal waiting state, not an error. The task shows "Waiting for restock…", keeps checking at your Delay interval, and rebuilds its session about every 40 minutes.
Articles marked "currently only available in selected bookshops" count as unavailable online.
After the order
No confirmation e-mail
An order can be placed and numbered without an e-mail arriving. Do not treat a missing e-mail as a failed order — verify with the order number from the task log, or check your order history.
"Unconfirmed" can still be a real order
If no order number comes back, the task reports "Order unconfirmed - check account" and does not retry. Once the order request has gone out, a retry risks buying twice, so the task stops instead.
Check your order history before you re-run.
