How to Use a Target Bot — Automate Target with BotBro

Video Tutorial

Watch this video to see an in depth tutorial for how to set up an auto checkout bot for Target, or scroll down for the written guide.

What Is a Target Bot?

A Target bot is an automation tool that interacts with Target.com on your behalf — monitoring prices, checking stock levels, detecting Circle deals, and even completing purchases automatically. Unlike manual shopping, a Target bot can run on a schedule, checking product pages every few minutes and alerting you the moment something changes.

Target doesn't offer built-in price drop alerts or restock notifications. That's the gap a Target bot fills. BotBro is an AI-powered Target bot that runs on your machine — you describe what you want in plain English, and BotBro handles the browser automation. No scripts to write, no selectors to maintain.

In this guide, you'll learn how to set up BotBro as your Target bot for price tracking, auto checkout on Target, restock alerts, and more.

Introduction

BotBro allows you to automate Target shopping tasks effortlessly. From checking stock levels to placing orders, this tool simplifies everything.

This walkthrough will show how to install BotBro, configure its settings, and create your own Target buying bot.

Installing BotBro

Visit our homepage and click the download link for your platform (Mac/Windows). Follow the prompts to complete setup.

Configuring Settings

In the BotBro settings, you can specify your LLM provider and preferred AI model but we suggest sticking with the default values for now. Store sensitive data like passwords in local variables for maximum security.

Creating a Target Buying Bot

Ask BotBro to "tell me if a Target product_url is in stock and purchase it if available." That's all it needs to automate your Target shopping process.

Remember: your private data stays local, so references to usernames or credit cards are never shared with the LLM or anywhere else.

Target Checkout Automation

BotBro can go beyond monitoring — it can complete Target purchases automatically when your conditions are met. This turns BotBro into a full auto checkout bot for Target.

To set up Target checkout automation:

• Save your payment and shipping info as secure variables in BotBro settings
• Log into your Target account through BotBro's persistent browser profile
• Set your RedCard as the default payment method for automatic 5% savings
• Use a prompt like: "Monitor this product. When it comes back in stock under $40, add to cart and checkout with my saved payment."

Your credentials stay on your device — the AI model never sees your actual payment details. They're injected directly into form fields at checkout.

Enable repeats if you want consistent checks. Then click Start and watch BotBro handle your Target orders automatically.
