AutoDS AI tools are a suite of AI-powered features designed to help dropshipping entrepreneurs save time, increase sales, and scale their businesses efficiently. These tools enable you to create product pages, optimize descriptions for SEO, generate ad copy for marketing campaigns, and produce UGC-style video ads with AI avatars. All features are powered by AI credits, which are consumed each time you use them.
Prerequisites
To use the AutoDS AI tools, you need to have enough AI credits based on each tool's cost. The AI credit costs vary depending on the tool you want to use:
AI Product Page Templates: 99 AI credits per enhancement.
AI Rewrite: variable AI credits depending on the type of edit (title, description, or both).
Ads Text Generator: 25 AI credits per generation.
AI Image Generator: 99 AI credits per image generation.
Important: Credits are non-refundable and are billed separately from your subscription.
AutoDS does not create, launch, or manage advertising campaigns on your behalf. You create your own ad campaigns using the generated texts, images, product pages, or videos on your own. We only provide the content for you to go to each platform and create it.
To purchase AI credits:
Go to your AutoDS account.
Look at the top-right corner where your current AI credits balance is displayed.
Click on the AI credits section.
Click Buy Credits to access the purchase options.
Select the credit package you want to buy.
Complete the payment process to add credits to your account.
Note: The system shows the estimated AI credits required before each action, so you'll always know the cost before confirming.
AI Product Page Templates
Creating professional product pages for your Shopify store becomes effortless with AI Product Page Templates. This feature automatically generates complete, eCommerce-optimized content, including titles and descriptions, in seconds, eliminating manual writing while maintaining consistent branding across your entire catalog.
With AI Product Page Templates, you can:
Save time by generating product content instantly.
Customize tone and style to match your brand.
Increase conversions with persuasive, eCommerce-specific language.
Enhance products at any stage, adding new items, importing from marketplaces, or improving existing listings.
Ensure theme compatibility or use manual integration when needed.
Prerequisites
Before using AI Product Page Templates, ensure your account meets these requirements:
Shopify connection: You must have an active connection to a Shopify store, as this feature is exclusive to Shopify.
Sufficient AI credits: Each enhancement requires 99 credits, deducted when you start the process.
Automatic purchase system: If your AI credit balance is low, AutoDS automatically redirects you to purchase more before continuing.
How to enhance products when adding them to your store
When adding a new product, you can improve it with AI Product Page Templates before it goes live.
To enhance products during the upload process:
Go to the Add Product page in AutoDS.
Review the three available options and consider which approach aligns with your current goals:
Publish to Store: Adds the product directly to your connected Shopify store without any AI enhancement, making it available for purchase immediately.
Save as Simple Draft: Saves a basic draft without AI enhancement, allowing you to manually edit the product later before publishing.
Enhance with AI (99 credits): Starts the AI enhancement process immediately, deducting 99 credits from your account and creating an optimized product page automatically.
Select your preferred option based on whether you want AI enhancement or prefer manual control.
Confirm your selection to proceed with adding the product.
Important: If you choose Publish to Store or Save as Simple Draft, an alert will appear: “Are you sure you want to lose the AI Option?”
How to enhance products from Marketplace, Handpicked, or Trending Products
Importing products from AutoDS's curated collections provides another opportunity to leverage AI enhancement. Whether you're browsing the AutoDS Marketplace feature, exploring Handpicked or Trending products, you can choose to use the AI Product Page Template to leverage AI enhancement.
To enhance products during import:
Go to the Marketplace, Handpicked, or Trending section.
Choose between the following options:
Import & Edit Manually: This option imports the product as a standard draft, allowing you to manually edit all content without AI enhancement before publishing to your store.
Import & Enhance with AI (99 credits): This option initiates the AI enhancement process immediately, automatically deducting 99 credits and creating an optimized product page during import.
99 credits are deducted once selected.
The enhanced product appears in your Drafts after processing.
Note: When using the AI Product Page Templates, if your AI credit balance is low, AutoDS will automatically prompt you to purchase more.
How to enhance existing drafts
You can enhance previously saved drafts directly from the Drafts page, which serves as a central hub for editing.
The Enhance With AI feature allows you to use the AI Product Page Template feature from drafts individually from the Drafts page. You can access this enhancement through two different locations, depending on your workflow preference.
To enhance drafts with AI:
Go to the Drafts page in AutoDS.
Choose one of the following options to enhance a draft:
Option A: Click the Enhance With AI button next to the specific draft you want to enhance. The button displays "Amount due: 99 credits."
Option B: Click on the draft to open the draft details page, then click Generate Product Page With AI.
Confirm the action to deduct 99 credits immediately.
The enhancement begins automatically, and a progress bar shows the status in real time.
Important: Selecting a non-AI action (such as manual edit or publish) will trigger an alert: "Are you sure you want to lose the AI Option?"
Note: If you don't have enough AI credits, you'll be redirected to the purchase screen before continuing. The Enhance With AI button is hidden if the product has already been enhanced.
How to enhance published products
Products already live in your Shopify store can be enhanced retroactively using AI Product Page Templates. This capability is valuable when you want to improve existing listings without unpublishing them, allowing you to upgrade your store's content quality gradually without disrupting your sales.
To enhance published products:
Navigate to the Products page.
Select the product you want to enhance.
Click Generate Product Page.
Confirm the action to deduct 99 credits immediately.
The enhancement begins automatically, and a progress bar shows the status in real time.
How to delete an AI template
Deleting a template created by the AI Product Page Template reverses the enhancement, restoring your product to its original state.
You can only edit content after saving it, so preview carefully before committing.
Important: When you delete an AI Product Page Template you created, the system reverts to the previous title and description. If you recreate the template later, another 99 credits will be required.
Tip: Instead of deleting, consider editing to preserve your credits.
To delete a template:
Open the Products Page or Drafts Page.
Open the Edit Page for the specific product or draft.
Go to the Product Page tab.
Got to the Product Page section.
Click Delete the Template & Use Default Description.
Confirm deletion or cancel it.
Using AI content manually for non-compatible Shopify themes
Some Shopify themes don't support the full AI Product Page Templates customization feature. However, you can still use AI-generated content by inserting it manually into your product descriptions. This approach ensures you benefit from AI-optimized content while working within your current theme's limitations.
To use AI content manually for non-compatible themes:
Click the Generate Product Page With AI button on your draft or product.
A pop-up message will appear indicating your theme doesn't support product page customization.
Click the Insert AI Content into Description button in the pop-up.
Follow the steps to generate your AI product page template as usual.
Instead of applying the template automatically, copy the AI-generated content.
Paste the content directly into your product's description field.
Save your changes before publishing the product.
Important: The text may appear as plain text, requiring HTML formatting or styling adjustments.
Even if your theme isn’t fully compatible, you can still benefit from AI-optimized content with this manual approach, ensuring your store maintains high-quality, persuasive product descriptions.
Tip: If you frequently encounter compatibility issues, consider switching to a different Shopify theme that supports full AI Product Page Templates integration. This allows you to use the feature's complete functionality and save time on manual content insertion.
The image below shows an example of the pop-up message displayed when your Shopify theme doesn't support product page customization:
AI Rewrite: optimize product titles and descriptions
The AI Rewrite feature helps you enhance existing content quickly and effectively. Unlike AI Product Page Templates, it doesn’t create new pages, but refines what you already have.
With this feature, you can:
Transform product content instantly.
Save time by automating rewriting.
Adjust tone, creativity, and balance.
Optimize only titles, only descriptions, or both.
Edit individually or in bulk.
Tip: You can bulk-revise products instead of editing each one manually by going to Settings → Supplier Settings.
Click here to learn more about Supplier Settings and how to configure bulk optimization.
How to use the AI Rewrite feature
AI Rewrite integrates directly into your product and draft edit pages, allowing you to enhance content as part of your regular editing workflow without navigating to separate tools.
To optimize content with AI Rewrite:
Go to the product or draft edit page in your AutoDS dashboard.
Locate the AI button near the product title or description.
Click Optimize with AI. A pop-up window will open.
Select what you want to optimize: title, description, or both.
Choose the edit type that best fits your needs (e.g., optimized for social networks, more fun, more sellable).
Click AI Write. The tool will generate the new title/description.
Review the result:
If you like it → click Save.
If not → regenerate and try again.
Important: The AI Rewrite feature uses AI credits for each optimization (title, description, or both). The number of credits depends on the type of edit.
Ads Text Generator
The Ads Text Generator creates copy for TikTok, Facebook, and Instagram ads. It generates multiple text variations per platform to help you launch faster and improve engagement.
With this feature, you can:
Generate multiple ad variations for A/B testing.
Improve engagement and conversions.
Launch campaigns faster without copywriters.
Platform-specific text fields:
Facebook & Instagram: Primary Text, Headline, Description.
TikTok: Caption, Overlay Heading, Overlay Subheading, Overlay Body Text.

How to use the Ads Text Generator
To use the Ads Text Generator:
Go to the Products page and click to edit the product.
On the banner "Generate Ad Texts With AI" click on the "Generate Ad Texts" button.
Select your target platform (Facebook, Instagram, or TikTok).
