1- Use the Fulfilled by AutoDS Service - checking this will opt you into AutoDS' complete order fulfillment system. All the orders will be processed for you without you having to open your own source account. You can read more about it here.
2- Automatic orders Fulfill (Requires Buy Account or 'Fulfilled by AutoDS' orders management)- This feature will immediately fulfill orders as soon as they are detected in your store (=full automation).

4- Override Customer’s Phone Number - if you turn this feature on, the system will use the number 9999999999 instead of the buyer's phone number.
5- Mark order as Delivered automatically- you can decide that the order will be marked as delivered after X days. Otherwise, order will be changed to delivered according to it's ETA.
6- Set order as shipped- eBay users sometimes want to mark their orders as shipped regardless of whether they are actually shipped. The 'shipped' status on eBay orders is currently automatically updated once the tracking number is available, but you can ask the system not to do it by changing this setting:
If you choose;
Shipped status - the order will be updated to ‘Shipped’ when it is actually shipped
Ordered status - the order will be updated to ‘Shipped’ as soon as it is ordered
Order is received - the order will be updated to ‘Shipped’ as soon as the buyer places it
7- Tracking conversion- you can choose whether your orders will be converted to Bluecare , Aquiline or QTrack.
8- Maximum Purchase Order Price - the maximum amount you allow for auto-ordering. For example, if the price of a product is more than $500, the auto-order will fail as protection - allowing you to review it first before sending it to process or order it manually.
9- Maximum Loss- the maximum loss you are willing to take. For example, if there was a sale with a loss of $3 (the price was raised after the last scan) and your maximum loss amount was set to $1, the system will fail the order to avoid the loss.
10-Automatic Messages To Buyers- Clicking on the ✎ icon will allow you to edit the gift message sent to the customer. Click here to learn more.
