What is the Product Finding Hub?
The Product Finding Hub (PFH) is an add-on in AutoDS designed to simplify product research for dropshipping businesses.

Hand-Picked Products: Access expert-curated items with high sales potential, complete with detailed analysis from AutoDS specialists, including target audience recommendations, competitor research, and ready-to-use content.
Ads Spy: Analyze what products are converting through ads on TikTok, Facebook, and Instagram to understand which marketing strategies work and identify new product opportunities early.
TikTok Analytics: Access real TikTok Shop sales data from the United States, including best-sellers, performance metrics, viral videos, and commission rates to identify proven products with actual sales validation.
The goal is to help identify high-potential items, spot seasonal trends, and make informed product decisions more efficiently.

How to activate the Product Finding Hub
To activate the Product Finding Hub in your account:
Navigate to Settings in your AutoDS account.
Click on Plans & Add-ons from the menu.
Scroll down to locate the Product Finding Hub add-on card.
Click Enable.
Enabling the Product Finding Hub add-on gives you immediate access to the Hand-Picked Products, Ads Spy, Trending Products, and TikTok Analytics features, which appear in your AutoDS account's left sidebar menu.
Note: During the registration flow in AutoDS, eligible users may see a full-screen promotional page for the Product Finding Hub before connecting their store. This page does not have a close button. To dismiss it without purchasing, click "No, I understand I'm passing on this SPECIAL OFFER" at the bottom of the page.
This page appears only once. To activate the add-on directly from this page, click the CTA button (Yes, crack TikTok Trends). The price shown will be prorated based on your remaining trial period; after your trial ends, the full price of $14.97/month applies.
Upgrade PFH from monthly to yearly
If you are already on the monthly plan of the Product Finding Hub add-on on AutoDS, you can upgrade to the yearly plan at any time from Settings > Plans & Add-ons. When you upgrade mid-cycle, the unused days remaining in your current monthly billing period are credited toward the yearly plan cost, so you are not charged twice for the same period.
Important: At the moment, switching from the yearly plan back to the monthly plan isn’t available. This means the change can’t be processed right now, including through our support team.
Activating the yearly plan during a trial period
If you activate the yearly Product Finding Hub plan during your AutoDS account trial period, two charges apply:
An immediate prorated charge for the remaining days of the trial period.
The full yearly amount of $131.64 charged when the trial ends.
If you activated the monthly Product Finding Hub plan first and then upgraded to the yearly plan while still within your AutoDS account trial period, the same two charges apply: an immediate prorated charge for the days remaining until your next billing date, followed by the full yearly amount of $131.64 at the end of the trial.
To avoid unexpected charges, you can cancel your AutoDS account while on trial. If you have questions about charges applied during the trial, please let us know so our team can review your case.

Specifications tab
The Specifications tab in the Hand-Picked Products feature lists the origin, materials, size, model, and brand, allowing you to assess whether the product meets your requirements.
Policy tab
Policy outlines item-specific terms, typically returns, and related conditions in the Hand-Picked Products feature. Check the Policy tab before importing to ensure alignment with your store's policy and avoid disputes.
Reviews tab
Buyer feedback appears under Reviews in the Hand-Picked Products feature and helps you gauge quality and fit. Use insights from the Reviews tab to refine titles, descriptions, and FAQs, and to decide whether to list the product.
Note: The shipping policy terms in the Hand-Picked Products feature are displayed on the right side of the product page, below the Create Sample Order button.
The shipping information displayed on product cards and product pages in the Hand-Picked Products feature (for example, "Ships from US, 12 business days to United States") shows the product's shipping origin and estimated delivery time to your selected destination. These values are calculated based on your Ships To and Ships From filter selections in the AutoDS Marketplace.
To check the shipping time for a different destination, apply a different Ships To filter in the Marketplace and search for the product again.
Import products from the Hand-Picked Products
To import products to your store in the Hand-Picked Products feature:
Click the + Import Draft button.
The product will be added to the Drafts Page.
Troubleshooting
If you get "the requested resource is not available" when importing a Hand-Picked product, it can indicate the supplier has removed the product from their store, but the Hand-Picked Products catalog has not yet reflected that update. The product may still appear in the catalog, but is no longer available at the source.
To find an alternative source for the same product, use the "Search on" options on the product page and select Amazon, Facebook, or AliExpress. These links will redirect you to search for the same product on other platforms, where you can find an available supplier and import it using its URL.
If you do not find an alternative, the product is no longer available from any supported source. Consider exploring other items in the Hand-Picked Products catalog.
Trending Products
Trending Products is a feature within the Product Finding Hub that offers a fast, data-driven way to identify top-performing items sourced from TikTok. All recommendations are based on real-time engagement and performance data, and the catalog is updated regularly.
Trending Products catalog
The Trending Products catalog displays product cards with key selling metrics. Each card shows the date the product was posted and the current sell price and interaction rate.
To preview a product's key metrics without opening the details page, click the chart icon in the top-right corner of any product card. A summary appears showing Sold Count, Profit, Reviews, Sell Price, Interaction Rate, and Product Score. Click More Info to open the full product details page.
To generate UGC-style video ads for products found in Trending Products, click the Generate Sales Ready UGC Ads button in the top-right corner of the page.

Important: At this time, the Trending Products feature in AutoDS does not have the option to filter by country. The trending products you see are based on supplier data and platform trends.
If you’re looking for region-specific products, features like AutoDS Marketplace allow you to filter by the country the item ships from. This is currently the only way to narrow down products by shipping region.
Product details page
Click any item on the Trending Products page to open the item details page. At the top, you will see the shop name, the total number of products available in that shop, and the date the product was posted.
Use the Search on options in the top-right corner to search for the same product on Amazon, Facebook, or AliExpress if you want to find it from a different supplier.
Analyze product performance
The product details page displays the following metrics to help you validate demand, compare offers, and decide which items to test first.

Important:
TikTok is not supported as a supplier for order automation through Fulfilled by AutoDS (FBA) or Auto-Order. Because all Trending Products use TikTok as the supplier, orders for these products must be managed manually. Click here to learn more about manual order fulfillment.
If the See Original Product button redirects to a TikTok Shop page that returns a 502 Bad Gateway error, this is because TikTok Shop blocks traffic from outside the United States. To access the page, use a VPN configured with a US-based address. This restriction is applied by TikTok and is not related to AutoDS.
Import products from Trending Products
There are two ways to import products in the Trending Products feature, as described below.
From the product catalog: Hover over a product card to reveal two import options:
Import as Draft & Edit Manually: imports the product to your Drafts page without modifications, allowing you to edit all details manually before publishing.
Import as Draft & Enhance with AI: imports the product to your Drafts page and automatically generates an AI-optimized product page, including title and description, using 99 AI credits. Click here to learn more about AutoDS AI Tools.

TikTok Analytics
TikTok Analytics is a product research tool within the Product Finding Hub that displays top-selling TikTok Shop products in the United States.
The TikTok Analytics feature provides access to real sales data from TikTok Shop, performance metrics for trending products, and key indicators like units sold, GMV (Gross Merchandise Value), and commission rates. Use this data from TikTok Analytics to identify high-potential products backed by actual performance, rather than relying on guesswork or assumptions.
Important: The TikTok Analytics data updates once daily and currently supports the US region only.
TikTok Analytics benefits
The TikTok Analytics tool offers several advantages for dropshipping businesses looking to leverage TikTok Shop's proven best-sellers:
See what's actually selling: Access real TikTok Shop sales data instead of relying on assumptions, giving you confidence in product viability.

In the United States region.

To reset filters from TikTok Analytics, click the "Clear All" button to remove all active filters and return to the full product list. This allows you to start fresh with a new research approach.
Import products
Products imported from TikTok Analytics to your store will automatically use TikTok as the supplier, so no order automation options will be available for these products (nor FBA or Auto-Order), and you will need to manage fulfillment manually through your TikTok Shop.

Bulk product import: From the main TikTok Analytics dashboard, select multiple products using the checkboxes and click the Import selected products button to import all selected items at once.

Trending Products uses algorithmic data to surface products based on real-time engagement metrics (impressions, likes, sold count, interaction rate). You get quantitative performance data and supplier-provided content that typically needs editing before publishing. Best for quickly spotting emerging trends and testing multiple products fast.
Hand-Picked Products are manually curated by AutoDS experts who provide in-depth analysis, including target audience recommendations, competitor research, saturation scores, campaign strategies, and AutoDS Insights. Products come with optimized titles, descriptions, and images ready to publish with minimal editing. Best for launching with validated offers and expert guidance.
Quick summary: Use Trending Products for fast, data-driven trend testing. Use Hand-Picked Products for expert-vetted items with ready-to-use assets and strategic analysis.
