JD Auto Schedule

DO NOT use this app — catastrophic failure during our Black Friday launch

Listen, I’m usually one to give the benefit of the doubt. But what happened to us with JD Auto Schedule is so huge and so damaging that I need other merchants to learn from this before it happens to them.

We integrated this app to handle sales pricing and automation for our biggest weekend of the year. It failed — massively. Pricing throughout our entire store went haywire, dozens of SKUs showed incorrect or at‑cost pricing, and we were scrambling at midnight to prevent a full meltdown. We had to pull 5,000+ SKUs, deal with 40+ vendors, and move items to draft just to stop the bleeding.

We’ve now had two major catastrophic issues with this app — and yes, we stayed loyal after the first screw‑up hoping you’d fix things. But this second failure, during our Black Friday launch, is inexcusable.

If you are a Shopify store owner and use this app:
• Expect zero guarantee that pricing will stay correct under load.
• Expect tons of manual cleanup in the aftermath.
• Expect major revenue loss and reputation damage.
• Assume that support will be limited and you’ll be fighting fire while your site is live.

Don’t say I didn’t warn you. We trusted this plugin and it betrayed us. Move along, find another solution, or prepare for things to go sideways.

I use Auto Schedule to plan daily drops for my vintage store, and it’s been a game changer. The CSV import feature has saved me hours of manual work each month. The support team is responsive and genuinely listens to feedback — they’ve even implemented changes based on my suggestions. Highly recommended!

Auto Schedule has been a great addition to our workflow. Claudia’s support has been consistently excellent, quick, clear, and genuinely helpful. The new CSV import tool is exactly the kind of improvement merchants appreciate. It makes setting up scheduled promotions in bulk so much faster, especially when planning discounts or product drops ahead of time!

What stands out is how responsive the team is. They listen to real merchant pain points and ship features that actually solve them. The automation works reliably; scheduled discounts, publish/unpublish tags, and timed changes all run without babysitting.

If you’re looking to automate sales, discounts, and other timed updates without staying up past midnight, this app does the job really well. Highly recommended.
