Edit April 28th: After writing this review I was contacted by the company who then offered me the refund, along with a free month if I wanted to use their service again along with one on one support. Their solution to the issue was satisfactory but I do think the refund should've been given without needing to write the review. If I could give this app zero stars I would. When I first installed the app it never worked as advertised and none of the items could actually be successfully purchased from my store. I then deactivated my account and the month after was charged a "usage" charge .. on a deactivated account. I then contacted support to request a refund as I don't know how there would be any usage on an inactive account and they denied the refund request and said that I said my account was deleted (I didn't, I said it was cancelled IE. Inactive) and they recommended I deactivate my account to ensure I do not get invoiced anything further. Even though my account is already inactive... Horrible customer service and obvious billing issues on their system, charging inactive accounts for usage charges.

Asked to resource product, they give me a link of high price resource that I wasn't able to make profit. I add $52 fund in my wallet to process orders. When I closed my account they refund $42 while they got their fee by Shopify Bill.

AutoDS has completely streamlined my dropshipping business. From automated order fulfillment to real-time inventory syncing, it’s like having a virtual team working behind the scenes 24/7. The product importer is fast, the dashboard is clean, and customer support has been super responsive. I especially love the automation features—it’s allowed me to scale while focusing on branding and marketing. If you’re serious about dropshipping and want a hands-off backend, AutoDS is the way to go.

this app Charges for literally everything they advertise! Every add-on cost you...and all those things they advertised we services/add-ons they charge for. those fees could get ridiculous and you need them if you want a fully auto mated system. the price they charge for the initial sign up is just to access more charges. they charge you to integrate you TikTok just to watch product videos that you can just click open another window and get the same results.

Updated Review – April 12, 2025 This is my third update to my review of the Shopify AutoDS app. I first posted on March 11, followed by a second update on March 31. I've been using AutoDS for over four years. It used to be a reliable automation platform, but the last couple of months have been the most difficult I’ve ever had with the service. It began in early February when I noticed some of my product listings on Shopify had lost their main images. At first, I assumed it was an isolated glitch. But as I kept browsing through my site, it became clear this was something much worse. Main product images and in some cases, all images were silently disappearing from live listings. There was no alert, no system log, no way to know when it happened. I only discovered it by accident, and it turned out to be affecting dozens of products. That kind of silent failure is incredibly damaging. It impacts SEO, kills ad performance, and destroys customer trust. And when you manage a large catalog, manually checking every listing becomes a nightmare. I reported everything in detail to support screenshots, recordings, and product IDs but was met with the same generic response over and over: “We’ve forwarded it to the developers.” No timeline. No fix. No real communication. Days turned into weeks. Eventually, I couldn’t afford to wait any longer. I spent entire workdays manually re-uploading images one listing at a time. After two exhausting days of work, support told me that since I had already started fixing them manually, the developers suggested I just continue and assured me the issue wouldn’t happen again. A few hours later, it happened again. More listings lost their images while I was still mid-way through manually fixing them. Two full days of work down the drain. It was clear nothing had been resolved. This issue has dragged on for over two months and has made it nearly impossible to run my business properly. I’ve had to manually audit my store over and over, constantly putting out fires instead of focusing on growth. AutoDS was supposed to simplify operations, but instead, it introduced ongoing disruptions I couldn't anticipate or control. Although timely, other issues like auto-orders getting stuck, being charged for credits that didn’t appear, and failed orders were eventually resolved, but they still added to the time and energy I had to spend just keeping things afloat. Support replies quickly, but most responses feel automated or surface-level. After months of unresolved issues, confidence in the platform has dropped significantly. I’ve provided clear documentation, consistent follow-ups, and every opportunity for the team to resolve the problem, but without transparency or accountability from the developers, it’s been incredibly difficult to keep my business running smoothly. I’ll continue updating this review weekly until the issue is fully resolved. At this point, it’s the only way I can ensure ongoing visibility and accountability for a problem that has caused lasting damage to my business.
