AutoDS for Suppliers: Configure your trading policies
Learn what trading policies are, how to set discounts, MAP rules, and marketplace restrictions
Introduction
To configure your trading policies, go to Settings → Trading Policies.
These settings allow you to control the discount offered to AutoDS members, set a Minimum Advertising Price (MAP), and restrict where your products can be published.
Offer discount
Enter the percentage discount you wish to offer AutoDS members (minimum of 20% required). This discount will be automatically calculated across all your listed products.
If you already provide wholesale prices and do not wish to offer an additional discount, check the wholesale-only box.
💡 Tip: AutoDS promotes products based, among other factors, on the discount you offer our members.
Default Minimum Advertising Price (MAP)
As a supplier, you can set the lowest price at which your products may be sold by dropshippers using the MAP feature.
-
Activate the toggle to set a default MAP.
-
Enter an uplift % that will be added to your product’s cost (the dropshipper’s buying price).
⚠️ Important:
-
Dropshippers cannot sell below the MAP.
-
The default MAP will not apply to existing products after it is changed.
-
You can edit MAP for existing products via the My Products page. 👉 Learn More: Edit MAP on existing products.
Restricted marketplaces
Exclude marketplaces where you do not want your products to be published.
💡 Tip: We recommend keeping restrictions as limited as possible so your products gain maximum exposure.
