Nova Pets Store review for Auto DS: AI Dropshipping & POD

July 19, 2025

AutoDS! Pffft! More like ManualDS on their BS! I’ve been using AutoDS for my Shopify, and I’m beyond frustrated with the recent forced changes to how product listings are handled. Previously, SKU and location fields were managed automatically — which is exactly why I used AutoDS: to save time and avoid manual data entry. Now, after their recent updates, I’m being told I have to manually input SKU/UPC data and select locations for every single variant. I have over 100 products with multiple variants — this turns what should be an automated system into a full-time job. AutoDS’s email (which felt like a copy-paste response) claims this is due to “platform compliance,” yet gives no tools to fix it at scale. No batch-editing tools. No bulk sync option. No override to apply defaults. Just a vague “you can enter SKUs manually.” That’s not automation — that’s outsourcing work back to the seller. You are back to the stone ages and I don’t think you guys ever wanted my business. No problem, you won’t get it so you might as well cancel the account. If I wanted to manage all this manually, I wouldn’t be paying for an automation platform. And if AutoDS can’t provide bulk editing tools or proper syncing with Shopify, sellers like me are stuck cleaning up a mess that shouldn’t exist. Do you know how tedious it is to type over 100 unique SKU's and then link it back?? You're joking!
