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.

Shop Your Regulars

Access previously purchased items to reorder efficiently:

• Click "My Shop" in navigation
• Click "Shop Your Regulars" (or navigate to /my-shop/shop-your-regulars)

Features:

• Shows all previously ordered items
• Items retain their backup preferences
• Cannot search within regulars (limitation)
• Can filter using the filter dropdown
• Can sort items

Best practice: When user mentions common grocery items they regularly buy, check regulars first.

Deals and Promotions

Deal badges appear under item images showing:

• Flat discounts: "save R5"
• Bundle deals: "buy 2 for R150"
• Percentage off: "30% off"

Evaluate deals by:

• Comparing unit price vs. regular price
• Checking if bundle quantity matches user needs
• Considering if deal item is equivalent to preferred brand

Cart Management
