How to connect your Wix store to AutoDS

There are two ways to connect your Wix store to AutoDS, depending on your business needs. Choose the method that best fits your goals.

Important: Before connecting your Wix store, ensure you understand the prerequisites to manage your expectations and plan for a smooth integration.

Connect via Wix App Market (recommended for Wix-only sellers)

Connect via the AutoDS platform (recommended for multi-channel sellers)

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Can I connect multiple Wix stores to the same AutoDS account?

You can connect multiple Wix stores to the same AutoDS account. To add additional Wix stores to AutoDS, repeat the connection process for each store you want to integrate. Each store will appear in the left sidebar of your AutoDS dashboard, allowing you to manage multiple stores from a single account. However, your subscription plan limits may apply based on the total number of products across all connected stores.

What happens if I disconnect my Wix store from AutoDS?

If you disconnect your Wix store from AutoDS, all automation features will stop working for that store. This means price and stock monitoring will cease, and automatic order fulfillment will no longer function. However, the products that were already imported to your Wix store will remain in your store. You'll need to manage these products manually or reconnect your store to AutoDS to restore automation features.

Can I connect my Wix store to AutoDS if it was previously connected to another AutoDS account?

If the old AutoDS account was deleted, you can re-register using the same email and credentials that were used before. This lets you keep using the same store under that original account identity.

If you want to connect the Wix store to a new AutoDS account, you’ll need to purchase a subscription plan on the new account before you can add the store.

How long does it take for my Wix store to appear in the AutoDS dashboard after connection?

Your Wix store should appear in the left sidebar of your AutoDS dashboard immediately after completing the connection process.

If the store still doesn't appear after a few minutes, verify that you completed all connection steps correctly or contact AutoDS support for assistance.
