How to Identify Private Suppliers on the AutoDS Marketplace?

To easily find our private suppliers, you can filter using the Supplier option “AutoDS Suppliers.” Just remember that AutoDS is not a supplier itself; we feature private suppliers who are reliable and verified by AutoDS under this option in our Marketplace.

AutoDS Suppliers

Also, if you don’t use the filter, you can still identify private suppliers by looking for the “Message This Supplier” button, as only Private Suppliers have this option on our platform.

Message This Supplier

NOTE:

  • AutoDS Private Suppliers allow you to message them directly through the platform by selecting “Message This Supplier.” For other regular suppliers that are not private ones, messaging through the platform isn’t available.
  • If you apply filters on Marketplace, you may see more or fewer products, as not all items available meet the specific filter criteria you’ve selected.
 

FAQ 💡

Q: What is the difference between the marketplace and AutoDS finder?

A: The main difference between the two is that, unlike the AutoDS Finder, the AutoDS marketplace research Tool is not automatic. 

The Finder feature chooses random hot products for you automatically. All you need to do is select your desired supported supplier, choose how many items you'd like it to find and import for you, and how many sales you'd like to get from each product. 

As for the Product Research tool, it is much more customizable due to its focus on research filters. By offering various product filter options such as price and category, it helps you dig deep into profitable products, niches, and more. 

 

Q: Which suppliers are supported by the Product Research Tool?  

A: Amazon, Aliexpress, and our private suppliers. And we are working on adding more.

 

Q: Which regions are supported?

A: US and China.

 

Q: Does this feature come at an additional cost?

A: No. All AutoDS members can enjoy using this feature
