Supplier Settings - Full Overview

Optimize supplier settings for automation, pricing, and order handling.

Introduction

The Supplier settings allow you to customize how AutoDS handles listings, pricing, orders, and general preferences for each supplier. For example, you can import variations from AliExpress but exclude variations from Amazon, or decide whether orders for a given supplier are handled automatically or manually.

Note: Configure supplier settings before uploading products. These preferences apply to new uploads only. Existing listings can be updated later via bulk edit or during upload by temporarily enabling/disabling specific options.

Why choose the supplier first?

  1. Automation compatibility. Some suppliers don’t support order-automation features like Auto-Order or Fulfilled by AutoDS (FBA). If you want to use these options, prefer adding products from suppliers that support them—this streamlines your process and saves time.

  2. Set configurations up front. Define your Lister, Pricing, Orders, and General settings before you upload. All new products will automatically inherit these configurations. Remember, these settings apply to new listings only.

  3. Shipping considerations (Worldwide). If you enable Worldwide, AutoDS will only check product availability on the supplier’s site. Shipping costs are not calculated in this mode. Research conditions and prices by country and set your store policies accordingly. We recommend enabling Worldwide only after you’re comfortable with your operations.

Supplier settings tabs

Below is what each tab controls and where to learn more.

Lister

Set your preferences for how uploads are processed before adding a product. You can control how products are listed from each supplier, including importing and updating listings (e.g., duplicates, variations, and monitoring).

Pricing

Create pricing rules and strategies per supplier. Adjust formulas based on supplier costs, fees, and desired profit margins. Enable automatic updates so price changes at the source reflect on your listings.

Orders

Customize how orders are handled for each supplier: automatic (Auto-Order / FBA) or manual. Choose how to place orders, convert tracking numbers, and update order statuses, depending on what the supplier supports.

General

Set broad preferences related to supplier management, such as default shipping country, maximum shipping days, and minimum product quantity.

Worldwide (optional)
When Worldwide is enabled (available only for select suppliers), AutoDS does not verify regional shipping—it only checks whether the product exists on the supplier’s site. Shipping costs are not included in this mode. Research shipping conditions and pricing per country and set your policies accordingly. We recommend enabling Worldwide only after you’ve gained some experience.

Note:

  • Changes on the Settings page apply only to new products and orders. You can enable/disable specific settings during upload without changing your global defaults. If you want to apply changes to existing listings, use bulk edit.

  • Set your preferences per supplier and per store, or duplicate preferences from a supplier you’ve already configured.
