In this tutorial, I walk you through exactly how to start dropshipping with AutoDS using a Shopify store. I begin inside Shopify by going to Settings → Apps and sales channels → Shopify App Store, then installing AutoDS so it can act as the “middleman” between your store and your suppliers. The big win here is automation: AutoDS helps route orders, lets you work with verified suppliers, and gives you better quality control than a lot of free alternatives (even if it’s a bit more expensive). I also point out the free trial so you can test it before committing to a plan. After setup, I break down the AutoDS dashboard so you know where everything lives—Marketplace, handpicked/trending products, TikTok Spy (add-on), print on demand, orders, and products. Then I show you how I actually pick products using filters like country, currency, ships-from location, supplier, and fast shipping. Finally, I import a product as a draft, edit the title, collections, tags, shipping method, brand, and monitoring options, then save and import it into Shopify so it appears with variants ready to sell.
