How To Pre-Cart Items

Pre-carting items lets you add out-of-stock products to your cart in advance, giving manual users a head-start. This way, you skip the step of adding items to your cart during a restock, increasing your chances of snagging limited items.

Simply follow these steps, stay on the page, wait for our monitors to alert you of a restock, refresh, and then proceed to checkout.

BestBuy Pre-Carting

1. Navigate to https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca & login to your account.

2. Find any product that is currently in stock such as:https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/sony-wh-ch720n-over-ear-noise-cancelling-bluetooth-headphones-black/16703135

3. Right click on the page and click on "Inspect".

1. At the top of the inspect panel, click on "Network", ensure the red recording button the left hand side of the panel is red & then type in "basket" in the filter field.

1. Add your randomly chosen product to your cart with this inspect panel open and you will see that a "baskets" line appears. Right click on baskets > copy > copy as fetch.

1. Open up a notepad and paste this code. Your code will look something like this:

fetch("https://www.bestbuy.ca/api/basket/v2/baskets", {
  "headers": {
    "accept": "*/*",
    "accept-language": "en-CA",
    "authorization": "Bearer 7e4a37e4-e659-4468-b5c4-ddd1dcd953c3",
    "content-type": "application/json",
    "postal-code": "YOUR POSTAL CODE",
    "priority": "u=1, i",
    "region-code": "SK",
    "sec-ch-ua": "\"Chromium\";v=\"130\", \"Google Chrome\";v=\"130\", \"Not?A_Brand\";v=\"99\"",
    "sec-ch-ua-mobile": "?0",
    "sec-ch-ua-platform": "\"Windows\"",
    "sec-fetch-dest": "empty",
    "sec-fetch-mode": "cors",
    "sec-fetch-site": "same-origin",
    "x-dtpc": "-62$150850108_150h37vGHKPPEOUREVWLWIREQMERGUPBCPMUUHH-0e0"
  },
  "referrer": "https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/sony-wh-ch720n-over-ear-noise-cancelling-bluetooth-headphones-black/16703135",
  "referrerPolicy": "strict-origin-when-cross-origin",
  "body": "{\"id\":\"974a2f06-9082-4461-a7f3-85c6f1f33a58\",\"lineItems\":[{\"quantity\":1,\"sku\":\"16703135\",\"associatedItems\":[]}]}",
  "method": "POST",
  "mode": "cors",
  "credentials": "include"
});

1. Navigate to the product page of the product you are wanting to pre-cart and grab the SKU out of the URL. In this example, we will use https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/disc-drive-for-playstation-5-digital-edition-console-white/17462112 In this case, the SKU is 17462112.

2. In the code you pasted into the notepad, you will find a line that looks like this

 "body": "{\"id\":\"974a2f06-9082-4461-a7f3-85c6f1f33a58\",\"lineItems\":[{\"quantity\":1,\"sku\":\"16703135\",\"associatedItems\":[]}]}",
  "method": "POST",

You will want to replace the number found after the "sku" portion with the new SKU you copied. In this case, I am replacing 16703135 with 17462112.

1. Copy your updated code and go back to the inspect screen you had opened earlier. From here, open the "Console" & paste your code in the field at the bottom & press enter.

The item should now be in your cart and ready to go for the next time it restocks.
