Auto DS: AI Dropshipping & POD

AutoDS’s response still does not address the main issue. Their own Help Center has referred to a “variation limit” for a long time and clearly explains that published product variants count toward the subscription limit. However, the Shopify pricing page continues to advertise “200 Products,” “500 Products,” and “1K Products,” without clearly stating that these figures actually represent product variants rather than individual products.
In practice, the plans are limited by product variants. For example, one apparel product with 5 sizes and 6 colors creates 30 product variants and consumes 30 units of the plan limit. This means a plan advertised as supporting “500 products” may accommodate only about 16 such apparel products, not 500 actual products. This distinction is especially important for fashion stores, where multiple sizes and colors are standard.
AutoDS has clearly been aware of this calculation for a long time because it is documented in its own Help Center. Therefore, why is the Shopify pricing page still using the word “products” instead of clearly stating “product variants”? Why is this critical limitation placed inside support documentation rather than displayed prominently before merchants subscribe and pay?
A generic acknowledgement of the feedback does not resolve the issue. AutoDS should directly explain why the sales page uses terminology that can give merchants a substantially different impression of the plan’s real capacity. The pricing page should clearly advertise “200 product variants,” “500 product variants,” and “1,000 product variants,” not “products.”
Continuing to use the less accurate wording despite knowing how the limit is actually calculated creates a serious transparency concern. Merchants deserve to understand the true capacity of the plan before subscribing, not after discovering the restriction through support articles or after importing their products.

AutoDS is a large and professional company, and for that reason transparency should be one of its core principles. Unfortunately, the current wording does not reflect that standard.

AutoDS is a great source to curate items for your shop. Customer service is excellent and setup / user experience of platform is intuitive. From in depth tutorials, to a wide variety of products, this is a one stop shop if you know what you are doing.. ;-)

Good luck out there, and may you be prosperous ~

The user support staff are extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Unfortunately, you have to 1) first go through and A.I that can repeatedly take you round in circles. 2) A poorly designed and clumsy defined screen. If you create a list of products and need to check price comparisons against other sellers, you have to go back to the beginning and search for the products by name. 3) The guides videos and the affiliate partners are so eager to make money off of you to sign-up that many promise the moon and when you start the journey you are stuck with multiple issue e.g. 10-20 products to be automatically connected to your shop but on two and one no longer in supply and you have to gradually dig your way out of each issue which can take weeks or months as in my case. Think twice before you start and do loads of personal research before paying for service offered on the the platform. The platform also seems to share your sight info to people that randomly email you offering services you never requested. I am Ultra-disappointed. .
