What are Auto-Order Credits?

Learn what are auto-order credits and how you can use them!

If you wish to use one of the following services:

  • Auto-Orders - having AutoDS’ automatic ordering system place the orders for you
  • 'Fulfilled by AutoDS' service - having AutoDS fully manage your orders and also update your tracking numbers
  • Converting tracking numbers to BlueCare Express (BCE)
  • Converting tracking numbers to QTtack
  • Sourcing requests for products (1 AO per sourcing request) and for orders

You will have to make sure that you have enough Auto-order credits.

What are “Credits”? 

Auto-ordering credits are like tokens for using an arcade machine. Each auto-order costs one credit, and the more you buy, the cheaper each auto-order credit costs.

Did you know?

Every new AutoDS account gets 5 free auto-order credits, so you can try before you buy 🌟

How to purchase credits?

First, you need to make sure you have an active subscription to the Order Processor add-on. You can learn more about it here

Next, you can check your balance and purchase auto order credits directly from your orders page:

  
  Credit Usage
 ✔️ An Auto order placed /Fulfilled with AutoDS order without tracking number conversion = 1 Auto-Order credit

✔️  Tracking number converted to BCE without automation of the order = 0.33 auto order credit
 
✔️  Tracking number converted to QTrack without automation of the order = 0.5 auto order credit
 
So for example, if an Auto order placed /Fulfilled with AutoDS order +  conversion of tracking number to BCE, it will cost 1.33 credits (1 Auto-Order credit for order fulfillment + 0.33 for tracking conversion).

NOTE:

AO credits (Auto-Order) are different from AI credits (AI Rewrite) and balance. Here are the differences between them:

Auto-order Credits are necessary for utilizing the auto-order feature and FBA Service, which automates the process of fulfilling orders on your behalf.

AI Rewrite feature can help you refine your product descriptions and listings, ensuring they are optimized for better performance on your selling channels.

Balance refers to the funds available in your account to cover product purchases and shipping costs.
