0:00In today's video, we're going to be
0:01going over how you can start setting up
0:02your store and your supplier settings
0:03for the AutoDS platform. This is going
0:05to include your lister, your pricing,
0:08your orders, and your general settings.
0:10So, the first thing for this is, of
0:11course, we are going to need to sign
0:12into our AutoDS account. By the way, if
0:15you don't have an account with AutoDS
0:16just yet, you can get started for just
0:17$1 for the next 2 weeks. So, once we
0:19have everything signed in and we're
0:20ready to go, the first thing we're going
0:22to do is we're going to click on the
0:23settings tab or the settings button all
0:25the way at the bottom lefthand corner.
0:26So, we're going to click on that and
0:27then it's going to take us to this page.
0:29Now, here we're going to have a few
0:30different pages. We're going to have our
0:32supplier settings, our automations, our
0:33templates, and a few other things.
0:35Today, we're going to be going
0:36specifically over the supplier settings.
0:38And if you want a walkthrough for all of
0:40the other settings on this page or on
0:42the AutoDS platform, then make sure you
0:44go ahead and subscribe and make sure you
0:46like the video so you don't miss out on
0:47any future videos. So, the first thing
0:48that we're going to do here is we're
0:49going to check out over here where it
0:50says select store. Now, this is going to
0:52be a list of our different stores. I'm
0:54going to go ahead and choose this one
0:55over here. This is my eBay store. And
0:57here we have all of the different
0:58suppliers that I've used on my eBay
1:00store. So, I've worked or I've ordered
1:02from all of these different ones at one
1:04point or another. Now, if you don't see
1:05a supplier on here that you want to work
1:07with or that you've worked with before,
1:09all you have to do is simply click on
1:10add supplier down here. And you're going
1:12to choose your supplier. You're going to
1:13choose the warehouse that they ship
1:14from. And you're going to go ahead and
1:16choose either the recommended settings
1:17or copy from another provider, which is
1:19simply going to be copying the settings
1:20from one of these other ones. Now, for
1:22this, let's go ahead and choose Amazon.
1:24So, we're working with our eBay store
1:26with an Amazon supplier. If we click on
1:29AliExpress, it'll be an AliExpress US
1:31supplier. The one right under is from
1:32China, Walmart, and some of the other
1:34ones. So, for this, we're going to be
1:36working or talking about specifically
1:38Amazon. Now, over here on the right hand
1:39side, we're going to have a few
1:40different options. We're going to have
1:41the listister, the pricing, the orders,
1:43and the general. So, let's start with
1:44the lister. The first thing that we're
1:45going to have is going to be the default
1:47product quantity. So, this simply means
1:48what is the quantity that your products
1:51are going to be uploaded at. So, what's
1:52going to be the default when I upload a
1:54product to my store here? I can have the
1:55default always be to one. Or if I want
1:57it to be 100, it's always going to be
2:00100 whenever it uploads to my store. So,
2:03we can just leave this at one for now.
2:04And then right under that, we're going
2:05to have the default item country and the
2:07default zip code. So, this is going to
2:08be where our products are shipping from.
2:10In this case, we can choose any one of
2:12these different ones. So, if we're
2:13ordering, let's say, from Amazon US, we
2:15do want to keep it within the US. If
2:16we're ordering from Amazon UK, drop
2:18shipping to the UK, then we can do the
2:21United Kingdom and then choose a default
2:22zip code for that. Then we're going to
2:24have our shipping methods and our
2:25default template. So our shipping
2:27methods is simply going to be how do we
2:29want our supplier to ship our product?
2:31There's going to be three options. We
2:32have cheapest, cheapest with tracking,
2:33and fastest with tracking. Cheapest, you
2:35might get the cheapest tracking, but
2:36you're not always going to get
2:37guaranteed tracking numbers. And that's
2:39something that customers always look
2:41for. That's something that they always
2:42want. So I don't recommend that one. And
2:44then the fastest with tracking. I don't
2:46recommend that one either because while
2:47you might have the fastest shipping, the
2:49fastest shipping might sometimes be a
2:52difference of maybe 20, 30, or $50 or
2:55even more sometimes. I always suggest
2:56just go with the cheapest with tracking.
2:58That way you get the cheapest shipping
3:00along with guaranteed tracking numbers.
3:01Now here for the default template, this
3:03is going to be the default template for
3:04our eBay store. So what is our eBay
3:06product pages going to look like? Now we
3:08have a few different ones under AutoDS
3:10templates. If you want to see what they
3:11look like, just click on add new
3:12template. It's going to take us here to
3:13the template section. Click on eBay and
3:15then you're going to have all of the
3:16different ones over here. Now, we're
3:18going to have the selling platform
3:19policies. So, we want to when it comes
3:21to eBay, I always have use dynamic
3:23policies, which pretty much just lets
3:25AutoDS create the policies
3:26automatically. And it's just what makes
3:28it a lot more streamlined and makes it
3:29easier. If we take this off, then we're
3:31going to have to create the policies
3:33ourself. I always just leave it on so
3:34that way it imports the supplier and it
3:36does everything automatically for us.
3:37And it's just a lot more streamlined.
3:38It's a lot easier. We can also set our
3:40different additional handling days. I
3:42have it set to three, but we can
3:43increase it or decrease it. We can also
3:45allow global shipping program. So, we
3:47can click on this and then this will let
3:48us ship our products internationally
3:50using the eBay global shipping program.
3:52Besides that, we have the advanced
3:53lister settings. So, here we have a few
3:55different options for our default
3:57uploads from the supplier. So, do we
3:58want to allow duplicate products if we
4:01let's say if we import multiple products
4:03and we accidentally click on the same
4:04product twice? Do we want that product
4:06to be uploaded twice or just once? Allow
4:08out of stock variations. If a supplier
4:10has something out of stock, are we okay
4:12with having it uploaded to our store?
4:13Capitalize title. It's pretty
4:14self-explanatory. Capitalizes the title.
4:16We have the option to autofill the brand
4:18of the uh product that we're selling.
4:20Most of the products we're selling are
4:21generic, so we don't have to click that.
4:23We can split the variance into products,
4:24meaning if we have a t-shirt, let's say
4:27that's red and blue, we can have this uh
4:29checked off and it'll upload it as two
4:31separate listings. So, a red shirt and a
4:33blue shirt instead of one shirt with two
4:35different listings or two different
4:36variations. We also have the option to
4:38allow Vero or blocked keywords. So, if
4:41one of our listings or for one of our
4:43suppliers have let's say Disney in the
4:45title and even let's say we're not
4:46selling Disney, but it's just there like
4:47Disney inspired or something like that,
4:49we can go ahead and allow for AutoDS to
4:52let us to import that product. If we
4:54uncheck this and there's a blocked
4:56keyword on there, I don't know Nike for
4:58example as well or Apple, then it won't
5:00upload that product. We can also add the
5:02different categories to our tags. And
5:03this pretty much simply just means uh
5:05we're going to have different tags for
5:06our products. So that way it's easier
5:08for us to keep track of the analytics on
5:09the AutoDS dashboard. We also have
5:11upload different variations or upload
5:13variations which is going to allow our
5:15products to be uploaded with multiple
5:16variations. We can also check to
5:18duplicate the main image um up to 12
5:21different times. Let me actually uncheck
5:22that because I don't want my main image
5:24um duplicated. We can allow marketplace
5:26sellers. Simply what this means is that
5:28if our product isn't available through
5:30Amazon Prime shipping because that's the
5:32supplier that we're working with. We can
5:34source a product from any other seller
5:35on Amazon that's selling the same
5:37product even if it's not Prime shipping
5:39or if it's not shipped and sold by by
5:41Amazon. We have the option to make our
5:43listings private. And then here we have
5:44our price and stock monitoring. So stock
5:46and price monitoring. Simply what this
5:48does is it allows us to make sure that
5:51we're selling products that we still
5:53have access to the inventory on our
5:55supplier side. So if a supplier, let's
5:56say they run out of a particular
5:57product, the stock monitoring is going
5:59to make sure that we don't sell that
6:01same product. So it'll adjust our
6:03inventory quantities to match our
6:04suppliers. And same thing for the price.
6:06If our supplier raises their prices,
6:07then AutoDS is going to let us know
6:09whenever this happens. So that way we
6:11don't sell a product and we lose money
6:13on it. Then we can also set AI
6:14optimization uh to on by default for the
6:17title and a description. This simply
6:18just optimizes our titles and our
6:20descriptions using AI. Next, we have the
6:22pricing tab. So on here we can set the
6:24default pricing rules for all of our
6:26different products that we import from
6:28Amazon in this particular case. So since
6:31my store is uh eBay, my selected store
6:33is eBay, my fees are going to be about
6:3513%. This right here is already set to
6:37default. We can change this if we want.
6:38We can set this to 15% if we choose to.
6:40Our fee amount, we also have an added 30
6:43cent fee. We can change this too. We can
6:45set that to zero if we want. I'm going
6:46to leave it at uh 30%. I mean 30 cents
6:50and 13%. Now, do you want to make any
6:52additional profit percentage? In this
6:54case, we already have it set by default
6:56to 10%. But let's say we want to make
6:5860% on every single one of our orders.
7:00We can go ahead and set that over here.
7:02Do we want to add also a profit in
7:04dollar amount as well? So, we're getting
7:06charged 30 cents. Let's make those 30
7:07cents back. Or let's double those 30
7:09cents and make it 60 cents. And now,
7:11pretty much here, what's going on is
7:13that up here, it's telling us how much
7:15our production cost is. It's telling us
7:16how much we're making in profits. And
7:18it's telling us exactly how much we're
7:19going to be taking home. So, a product
7:21that costs $100, we want to make a 60%
7:24profit, and we also want to make 60
7:26extra. This is pretty much telling us
7:28that there's going to be 13% in fees.
7:29It's going to equate to $244 with the
7:3230cent fee, meaning that this sample
7:34product, you know, something that costs
7:36$100 over here. We're going to have to
7:38sell it for $184.94
7:41in order to make our 60% profit and
7:43already exclude our 13% in fees. And
7:45that's what I really like about this.
7:47It's that the fees are already excluded.
7:49So your total price or your total
7:51profits is actually how much you're
7:53taking out or how much you're taking
7:54home. Now another thing that we have
7:56here is the default automation. So we
7:57can go ahead and choose this. We can go
7:59ahead and create any new automations.
8:01Now what the automation is simply going
8:03to be is remember how I told you that
8:05the stock monitoring is going to keep
8:06track of or sorry our price monitoring
8:08is going to keep track of our
8:09competitor's pricing. Well, what the
8:11default automation is going to do is
8:13it's going to set it so that way, let's
8:14say if our supplier raises their prices
8:16by $1, we can have it increase by $2.
8:19So, these are pretty much different
8:20rules that we can set for our
8:22automation. So, that way we're always in
8:24the green. Then, we have our dynamic
8:25profit. Now, this is pretty cool because
8:26we can go ahead and add multiple rules.
8:29So, let's add one where let's say
8:31anything between 0 and $50 we want to
8:34make a 60% profit on. Then, we can add
8:37another rule. anything uh after those
8:39$50 up to 150
8:43up to 150, we don't need to make 60% in
8:46profit anymore because we're already
8:47making some good money. So, we can drop
8:49this to 55%. Then, we can add another
8:52one so that way when we sell anything
8:53over 150 and between 500, we can drop it
8:57down to let's say 40%. And then we can
9:00add different uh rules that way. Then we
9:02have the set price sense value. So
9:03whenever we click on this, let's say we
9:05want it to be 45 cents. All of our
9:07prices are going to end in4. And we also
9:09have the option to include shipping
9:11price on our orders. Then we have the
9:13orders tab. Here we're going to have the
9:14process orders using the fulfilled by
9:16AutoDS and the automatic orders. Now
9:19these are two completely different
9:20things. We can have one of these checked
9:22or both of these checked. I always have
9:24both, but simply the process orders
9:26using fulfilled by AutoDS. What that's
9:28going to mean is that whenever an order
9:29comes in, AutoDS is not going to use
9:31your buyer accounts or your information
9:33to make that purchase. Instead, AutoDS
9:35is going to use its own buyer accounts,
9:37which I highly suggest you use because
9:38when you're using Amazon as a supplier,
9:40Amazon isn't really friendly to drop
9:42shippers. They don't like people taking
9:43their products and then sending them or
9:45reselling them. So, they could ban your
9:47account. So, when you use Fulfilled by
9:48AutoDS, your account is never at risk.
9:51Instead, AutoDS is using their own
9:53accounts. And in order to pay for any of
9:55the products or any of the orders, then
9:57up here you're going to have a balance
9:59that you top up, which is what AutoDS is
10:01going to use to make these payments.
10:03Now, this other option, automatic
10:04orders, what that simply means is that
10:06whenever an order comes into your store,
10:08it's automatically ordered by the
10:10system. So, if we don't have this turned
10:12on, what's going to happen is whenever
10:13an order comes in, it's going to be set
10:15to a pending status, and then it's going
10:17to be up to you simply to just switch it
10:18to out of order, so that way the order
10:20goes through. If we have this on, then
10:22it's just going to go straight through
10:23and it's going to be ordered using
10:24fulfilled by AutoDS. And if we don't
10:26have the first option checked off,
10:28what's going to happen is that AutoDS is
10:30simply going to use your buyer accounts
10:32which you set in order to make these
10:34purchases. So it'll log on to Amazon,
10:36AliExpress, Walmart, whatever the
10:37supplier is under your credentials, and
10:40it's going to make that purchase using
10:41your debit or your credit card or your
10:43banking details. Then we have Hip
10:45Shipper. And Hip Shipper is simply just
10:46an international shipping program. Then
10:48instead of shipping your products to
10:50eBay and having them ship it
10:51internationally, you ship it to Hip
10:53Shipper and then they they take care of
10:54the shipping afterwards. Then we have
10:56the override customer's phone number. So
10:58if you don't want your customer to get
10:59any, let's say, any updates via text
11:01message, you can go ahead and uh put
11:03your phone number here or you can just
11:05simply put a 999 number. Just put nines
11:07down the board. We can mark orders as
11:09delivered automatically. We can go ahead
11:10and click on this. And then if our
11:12orders aren't marked as delivered within
11:1430 days, the system will automatically
11:16mark them as delivered, we can go ahead
11:18and change this to 15 days or whatever
11:19we want it to be. And then we have the
11:21set order as shipped. So simply what
11:22this means is that the order is going to
11:24be marked as shipped whenever one of
11:26these three happens. So whenever the
11:28shipping status changes, whenever the
11:30order status changes, or whenever the
11:32order is received, I always just keep it
11:34as shipped status. Then we have the
11:35tracking conversion. So, we have a few
11:37different options to change our tracking
11:40numbers, mask different tracking
11:41numbers. You can convert all the
11:43tracking numbers to QT track with a zip
11:45code mask, right? So, it's pretty much
11:46going to mask the zip code. You can also
11:48convert Amazon shipping carriers
11:50tracking numbers um to Q track. You can
11:52convert all of the order tracking
11:54numbers to Blueare Express, Amazon to
11:55Blueare Express, or simply just generate
11:58UPS, FedEx, or DHL tracking numbers.
12:00Then, we have a few different automatic
12:01messages that we can send to our
12:02customers. So requesting feedback
12:04whenever an order is placed whenever the
12:06tracking number is available. We can go
12:08ahead and change these and we can turn
12:09them on or keep them off. We can click
12:11on edit and then we can change your
12:13message. We can also insert any
12:14information down here. So let's say
12:18we can put thanks for your order and
12:22then we can put the buyer first name. So
12:24it'll include the buyer's first name.
12:26Also don't forget in any one of these
12:27different pages or any one of these
12:29different tabs, always make sure to
12:30click on save whenever you make any
12:31changes. Otherwise, everything's going
12:33to go back to default. And then last but
12:34not least, we have the general tab. So,
12:35under general, we can go ahead and
12:36change the default weights. I'm in the
12:38US, so it's going to be under pounds or
12:40ounces. We can go ahead and do automatic
12:42skew filling. We usually just keep this
12:43off. It's not something that you really
12:44need turned on. And we have the
12:47monitoring, so minimum product quantity,
12:49maximum shipping days, and the choose
12:51your suppliers table. So, the minimum
12:54product quantity, what this means is
12:55that if our supplier has just one in
12:58stock, it's going to be marked as out of
13:00stock on our end. Let's say if we change
13:02to 10, if our supplier has 11 products,
13:05it'll show us in stock. If our supplier
13:07drops down to 10 products, it's going to
13:09show us out of stock. This is pretty
13:11much just going to ensure that our
13:12supplier always has something in stock.
13:14It's pretty much just being more safe
13:15than sorry. And then same thing for the
13:17maximum shipping days. So, if it takes
13:18our supplier, I don't know, if it if it
13:20shows on their on their suppliers page
13:22or if it shows on their product page
13:23that it takes more than 10 days to ship,
13:25we can put this to 10 and it's just not
13:27going to order it from that supplier.
13:30By default, it's 30, but if anything
13:32takes more than five days to ship,
13:34honestly, just go with a different
13:35supplier. And then we have choose from
13:37suppliers table. So, here's you're going
13:38to have the different options for
13:39shipping. So, you can choose anything
13:41that is the cheapest first or anything
13:43that has Amazon Prime first or you can
13:45also just choose Prime only. Then, once
13:48again, just click on save and all of
13:50your settings will be saved. And that's
13:51pretty much how you set all of the
13:52different settings for your store
13:53settings under the AutoDS dashboard. If
