modbender Checkers Sixty60 Shopping
Guide for shopping on Checkers.co.za using browser automation, focused on Sixty60 quick delivery.
Delivery Types
Checkers offers two delivery options:
- Sixty60 (scooter icon 🛵) - Quick shop and delivery, maximum 40 items
- Hyper (van icon 🚚) - Bulk shopping and larger items
Default to Sixty60 delivery unless the user specifically requests bulk/hyper shopping.
Cart Structure
The cart has two sections:
- Top section: Sixty60 items
- Bottom section: Hyper items (generally ignore this section)
Shopping Workflow
1. Filter for Sixty60 Items (Recommended)
Click the Sixty60 icon next to "Shop By Delivery" in the navigation to show only Sixty60-eligible items.
⚠️ Important: This is a toggle button. If already active, clicking again will deactivate the filter.
2. Search and Add Items
- Each item shows either a Sixty60 icon or Hyper icon at the bottom of the product card
- When Sixty60 filter is active, only compatible items are shown
- Look for deal badges under item images (e.g., "save R5", "buy 2 for R150")
3. Product Selection Strategy
When choosing between similar products:
- Prefer Vitality products when price is equal or similar (identifiable by Vitality logo at top-left of product card) - user earns points on these
- Choose the cheaper option after considering any sales/deals
- Evaluate bundle deals (e.g., "buy 2 for X") to determine if worth purchasing
- Consider unit price, not just total price
Selection priority (highest to lowest):
- Vitality product at same or lower price
- Lower price (considering deals)
- Better unit price
4. Adding Items to Cart (Error Handling)
⚠️ Critical: Always wait for UI to update after clicking Add/+/- buttons.
Process:
- Click the Add button or +/- button
- Take a new snapshot to verify the update
- Check the item counter on the product card shows the expected quantity
- If an error alert appears, report it to the user
- If the quantity doesn't match expected, try again or report the issue
Common errors:
- "Failed to validate your 60min item" - temporary stock/delivery issue
- Items may not add if out of stock or delivery incompatible
Never assume success - always verify the cart state after each operation.
5. Backup Preferences
Each cart item can have a backup in case of out-of-stock:
- Select a backup product OR
- Select "I don't want a backup" if no substitute is acceptable
Note: Items ordered before remember their backup preference, making reordering efficient.
