How To Dropship From AutoDS To Amazon (Over $5k/Week!)

In the last few years, drop shipping on Amazon has changed a lot. And in today's video, I'm going to show you exactly how you can get started in the easiest and quickest way possible. Now, after selling online for the past 7 years and making hundreds of thousands of dollars across multiple platforms, I've learned what works and what doesn't new tools are actually worth your time and which ones are actually necessary at this point. So, today we're going to be putting our Amazon drop shipping business on autopilot from the get-go using AutoDS. And we're also going to be going through the entire process on how you can start selling your products on Amazon, creating an offer that even Amazon can't refuse. And it's all going to start with us setting up our Amazon seller account. Okay, so the very first thing that we're going to need to do when starting our new Amazon drop shipping business from AutoDS is going to be to create an Amazon central account. Now, it's very important to note that if you have already a regular Amazon account, like the one that you use to shop, that has absolutely nothing to do with the Amazon seller account. So, even if you are registered as an Amazon buyer, you are going to have to create a second account that's going to be specifically to sell on the platform. And in order to register for that, just head on over to seller central.amazon.com. Now, that link is going to be in the cheat sheet. If you want to know how you can get that, just wait a little bit longer. I'll tell you exactly how you can get it with all of the information that I'm giving you in this video. So that way it can make it a little bit easier for you to follow along through as well. Now, once you're in here and you go ahead and you click on sign up, there's going to be a few things that you need to go over. Now, I don't have the option to be able to show you because I'm already registered, but there are going to be a few things that you are going to have to do. So, first and foremost, you're going to have to go ahead and sign up with either an email or with a phone number. After that, you're going to be asked what kind of account are you? So, you're going to have to choose what kind of business you are. So, are you going to be an individual business or are you going to be a sole proprietor? Now, that simply means are you doing things yourself or are you going to be behind an LLC for example? Then after you choose that, you are going to have to go through some identity verification. So, you are going to have to have handy either something like a license or a passport. Now, once you're going through that process, there's going to be a few things that you might have to do like let's say for example a quick video call. That is going to be optional. That's going to be completely up to Amazon's discretion. But just so you know, some people do get selected to do this just to have further verification. For that, all you're going to have to do is make sure that you have the papers that you're submitting to be verified. Just have them with you. And all you have to do is jump on a quick video call simply to just prove who you are and show that the papers are real. Now, if you're working as a business and not as an individual seller, then you are going to have to provide something like, let's say, a business registration or some sort of proof of the business itself. just to make sure that it is a legitimate business. And no matter what kind of business you are registering as, a couple of the documents that you're going to need are going to be for one, proof of residency. So you're going to have to show proof that you live in the place that you're saying that you live. And two, it's going to be just an ID. Again, whether it be a passport or a state identification. Then you're going to be prompted with two different seller accounts. So the first one is going to be an individual account and then the second is going to be a professional account. There's a pretty big difference between the two and we're going to stick to the professional account for this one. So the seller account simply what that means is that you're not going to have something like let's say a monthly fee, but your account is also going to be very restricted. So for every single sale that you get or every transaction that you make, you are going to be charged $1 and you're not going to have access to different tools to help you automate your business. Now since we are going to be drop shipping from AutoDS to Amazon, we are going to need that automation. So we're going to go with the professional account. Now, the professional account is going to cost you $40 a month, but this is going to give you access to tons of tools that are really going to help you start and scale your Amazon business pretty much in no time and pretty effortlessly. So, once you are registered, the first thing that you're going to see is going to be this dashboard. This dashboard is going to be your seller dashboard. Here you have a lot of different pieces of information. You're going to have information on your business, the different products that you're currently selling, a supply chain, your orders that have come through, stuff for your marketing, your finances, so how much have you made, how much have you paid, [music] and information on your customers. Now, this is a brand new account, so this is one that I just started a couple of days ago. So, it's still getting warmed up, but it's perfect because it's perfect to show you how simple it is to get everything started. Now, in order to start selling on Amazon, one thing that's absolutely crucial is going to be having to win the buy box. If we can't win the buy box, then we're not really going to be making many sales. So, what exactly is the buy box? Now, if we go to Amazon and we look for something like, let's say, LED strips, if we go into any one of these products, let's look for one that's not Prime. So, take for example, this one right here. So, this one right here is not sold by Prime. So, this is something that we're going to easily be able to enter the buy box for. Now, what the buy box is is just literally this box right here where you can buy, where it says add to cart and where it says buy now. Now, the buy box is going to be the offer that the customer sees to make a purchase. So, 99% of the time when somebody sees a product like this and they think, "Oh, this is exactly what I'm looking for." What the customer is going to do is they're going to click over here, whether it be add to cart or buy now, and they're going to make the purchase. And then Amazon is going to select the winner of the buy box to fulfill that order. And in this case, the winner of this buy box is val and fulfilled by Amazon. Now, there are a few other sellers. In this case, it doesn't look like there are any other sellers. So, take for example this PLA for 3D printer. If we look here at the buy box and then we scroll down, we're going to see here other sellers on Amazon. And then if we click on this, we're going to see all of the other sellers that are selling this same product. So, we can see here that the different offers that we have are used and like new, but this could be just completely different sellers with different prices or different shipping options. And the seller at the very top, this is going to be the winner of the buy box, the one that has the better or the best offer. That's going to be who has the best pricing and who has the best shipping. Now, if you are one of the other sellers on Amazon, like the ones that are listed here, you still have an option to make a sale, but the chances are reduced severely because most people don't actually go to this section to look for other sellers. Most people are just going to buy it directly from this buy box. And that's why that's where we want to be because we're going to be essentially the default option for anybody who's trying to purchase any product on Amazon. So before we start getting into actual products that we can sell and looking for products to sell, the very first thing that we need to talk about is going to be the products that we cannot sell. So one hard rule of thumb is avoid anything that is copyright or trademarked. Apple, Nike, let's say if you're selling toys, right? Pokemon, Beyblades, things like that, established brands, real products that have trademarks behind them, that have names, stuff that's recognizable like that. do not sell this. One, because we don't have the rights to, but two, because we're never going to have the best offer for this. The ones that are going to have the best offer for these kinds of products are going to be Amazon themselves or the actual vendors or the manufacturers. Now, something that's very important to note before we start getting into our product research is that we're going to be looking for products to sell that are not available through Prime. Because if we're trying to compete with Amazon themselves to win the buy box, we're never going to win. We're going to be sourcing our products through suppliers and private suppliers. While they do have fast shipping and great prices, we're not going to have the option to be able to provide something like twoday shipping. And that alone, the fact that these are Amazon Prime products, that's going to make Amazon the default winner for these pie boxes. So, we're going to be avoiding those kinds of products. But what we are going to be looking for is going to be more general products. Products that of course have a wow factor. Products that can solve some sort of problem in people's lives, make things easier for them, and most importantly, unbranded products. We're going to sell products that don't have a name brand behind them. Now, to get started with our product research and finding products that are actually going to sell on Amazon, the first way that I'm going to start is going to be through the AutoDS handpicked product section. So, if we go to adods.com and we check over here where the handpicked products are, we're going to see tons of different products that are currently trending and actually making sales, products that people are looking for. Now, from here, we can also find the types of products that we were talking about earlier, unbranded products that are going to give us the opportunity to be able to sell these and win the buy box. So, let's just start looking for a few different things here. And just so you know, there are going to be a few different categories that we don't want to get on or that we don't want to sell or that we're going to need approval for on Amazon. those products we're not going to be selling them. But as we're doing our product research, we're going to be able to see which one of these products are going to be the ones that we're eligible to and not eligible to sell. I'll show you in just a second because as we do this product research, Amazon's essentially going to tell us what we can and can't do. Now, there's already three different products that I'm looking at here that are fitting my criteria. For one, I'm looking at this one over here, the wireless electric vegetable chopper, and this little spice rack ferris wheel. These two are pretty good. So, let's go ahead and open those in a new tab. Let's scroll down and let's look for one more. We're going to start off with three different products and then we're going to continue if those three are not eligible for us to sell. So, let's see what else we can find. Okay, actually I found this one right here and this one looks pretty cool. This is a glass purse cup and this is pretty cool. This looks pretty interesting. All right, so if we click into the product itself, we can see that as far as the saturation, there's not a lot of people that are selling it. It's currently at a 40 between 40 and 100. So, it's a little bit busy. And as far as social media or the engagement score, there's a lot of buzz around this product on social media. So this right here means that there's a lot of people that are actually interacting with the videos, making purchases, and there's generally good sentiment towards this product on social media. So from here, we want to go ahead and check out the other two products and make sure that we're at about the same score. This right here is perfect. Look at this. Nobody's selling this just yet. I'm putting you on something right now that you can start to sell immediately. This has no saturation. So, we're going to definitely go look into this one. Now, the engagement score is at 100. So, this means that people are loving it on social media, but not too many people, if any, are really selling it. And then, as far as our vegetable chopper, we have an engagement score of 50. So, it's pretty moderate. But then the saturation score is also pretty low. So, this is also a very high opportunity product. So, right off the bat through the out of DS handpicked product section, we found three perfect products that we could have the potential to sell. Now, what we want to do is we want to start looking for these products on Amazon to see how much they're actually selling for. So, there's a few different ways we can do this. For example, for one, we can simply just rightclick and do search image with Google Lens. We if we click on that, it's going to bring up this little sidebar over here. And then we can look for Amazon. So, the perfect example is actually right here, the very first one. If we click on that, it's going to take us to the Amazon listing, which we can see that this person is selling two of these for $20.99 with $6.99 shipping. So, in total, they're selling it for about $28. Now, this is being sold by Jen Wow. And then if we look at the one piece, they're selling it for $12.99 with $7.99 shipping. So, it's about $20. And our source for this is how much through Amazon? So, we're able to purchase this through AutoDS for $16.99. So, we can source it for just about $3 less, but that's not going to be enough for us to be able to cover all of our expenses and actually make a decent profit. So, what we want to do here is we want to look for it on AliExpress and see if we could find a similar product through a different source. Now, we can use AliExpress for this. But another option that we would also have is to import this product to our store and then we can source it from different suppliers. Now, I am going to show you how to do that a little bit later on in the video. But for now, let's just go ahead and see if we could find it through AliExpress through a different supplier with fast shipping. So, that's another thing that's very important. So, let's see what we can find >> a few moments later. So, I actually just found two different ones. Let's go ahead and look at these two. So, this one is really usually $22, but they're selling it at $10.81. We don't want to go with the sale price because this means that only the first one that we offer or our first sale is going to be priced at this. Everything else is going to be at 22 or after the sale ends, it's going to go back up to $22. So, we would be losing money in that case. So, we don't want to go with that. And this one, same thing. $12, but it has $24 as the regular price, so we don't want to go with that either. So, this product doesn't seem to be a good one for us to sell at the moment. So, let's go ahead and look for a different one. Let's continue on to our Ferris wheel spice rack. Now, for this, let's do the same thing. Let's search the image with Google Lens and let's see if we could find a cheaper price somewhere else. It's currently at $32.99. How much can we find it on Amazon? It's this one over here. So, this seems to be selling at an average of about $30. Yeah. So, $30 over here, $31 for this one. Now, in between all of these, the ones that we would have to enter the buy box for would be this one right here. And there are a few other similar ones which look to be the exact same ones through Amazon Prime. But if we click on this one, we can see that the seller for this is Himalayas. And they're currently selling at $29.99 with free shipping. So, we would have to beat that. So, let's see if we can find a better offer through AliExpress because on AutoDS it's going to be $32.99. Again, we could probably find a better option later on once we source the products through different sellers on AutoDS, but for now, let's see if we could find it cheaper just anywhere else. Now, I found it here on Alibaba for 960 and AliExpress for 1640. So, let's see how these are. So, Alibaba has a minimum order quantity of two. So, that's definitely not going to work. And then if we go to AliExpress, it shows that the original price is $136. That's a little out there. So that's definitely not going to be it. Another thing that we can do is we can simply just take a screenshot of the product itself. Go back to AliExpress and then do a search by image. So we can upload a photo. We upload our screenshot and then it's going to show us all of the different options that we have for this product. Now, the one that looks to be the best option is going to be this one right here. So, let's open that one in a new tab. This one's showing for $5 with $10 regular price. So, let's look at that one as well. So, the first one is showing shipping $78. Definitely not. This one is also showing shipping $43. Definitely not. Okay, so that one also didn't seem to be a winner for us. Let's go ahead and try the vegetable chopper. If we look for it on Amazon, we can see that it's currently selling for about $24.99. $15.99, usually $19. Same here, $1519. Typical is $15.99. and they are not Amazon Prime. So, this looks to be a good option. Let's go ahead and open this one. Here we have 1519 free delivery and this is being sold by Hangda. Okay, so this might be one that we can potentially start selling ourselves. So, again, let's do right click. If it doesn't show you the option to search with Google Lens, just do a right click outside of the image itself. And then you should have the option here, search this tab with Google Lens. And then you can choose what you want to search. So in this case, I'm just going to look for that. And then here, we're going to look for the same product that we were looking for. So let's see if we find AliExpress on here. I currently don't see it, but what we can do is we can over here where it says ask a follow-up. We can look for AliExpress. So that way it's going to tie the image with AliExpress. So it's going to look for these products through AliExpress. And right here we have the first one, which they look to be the same ones. So let's open up this one. And this is the same one. This is running for $14.75 with $2 shipping. We're not going to be able to be the best offer in that case. Let's check out another one. And same thing for this one. This one's about $22. So, let's see what else we can do. All right. So, I did the image search on here. And let's see if we find a good offer. So, let's sort it by price. This one looks good. $8.63. This one's 517. All right. So, this is $8.63 with $13 shipping. That one's not going to work. And then if we look at this one, it's $11 with $5 shipping. Okay, that one's also not going to work. So, unfortunately, none of these actually worked out for us. So, all we have to do is keep doing a little bit of product research. And I'm going to keep using the same method that I just showed you to look for these products. Now, one other thing that we can do is go to back to Amazon and then we're going to look for new releases. When we look for new release products, we're going to look for products that most people aren't selling just yet. and we might have a bigger opportunity to jump in there and get a better offer. So, let's see which one of these we can sell. So, Stanley, that's not going to be in our option. A titanium cutting board. That could definitely be something that we sell. Same thing for these overnight oats containers. Let's open those as well. And then see what else we have here. Let's look for two more products that we're going to look for. So, first we have this cordless leaf blower. I've seen tons of these on Tik Tok. And a fruitfly trap. That's interesting. So, we have four different products that we can look for now. So, our titanium cutting board is currently running for $40. And I'm pretty sure we could probably find this a little bit cheaper. So, let's see what we can do. So, I'm just going to look for titanium cutting boards on Amazon itself and see if there's any other options. The one that keeps coming up is this one over here, which is the one that I just saw. So, let's just go ahead and open up this one. A new tab. Now, again, I'm going to search this tab with Google Lens. I'm going to look for the same exact product because I want to see if we find the same product. We can find a very similar product, but I usually like going for the exact same one. So, let's see here. Everything's through Amazon. Let's look on AliExpress. Okay, so this actually seems to be a different type of cutting board that I didn't see here. So, this is a L-shaped cutting board. So, let's go ahead and open up this one. And this looks to be the exact same one that we were looking at earlier. Perfect. Okay, so that's what that is. It's like a little lip. Okay, cool. So, now we have a few different sizes. Let's see what they're looking for here. So, for $40, it's the 20x6 in. And then if we do the conversion, we're going to be looking at about 508 mm for 20 in. Now, we're not seeing the options for any of those. So, let's see what else they have. So, 20x 16 in. And here they're doing it by cm with I think this is the width. Okay. So, let's look for a the 20 in, which would be 50.8 cm. Now, as far as the width, these are 2 cm, which would be 20 mm, but it's not showing here. This seems to be wrong, but that's fine. We can go ahead and just go by the length and width. So, we're looking at about 50x 40 cm. Perfect. So, we found this one here, 40x 50, and it's currently at 1762. Okay, so looks like this is also not another option. This one has massively huge shipping charges for whatever reason. So, let me just go ahead and do a little bit of research and I'll be right back. Okay, so after a bit of research, I found this right here, an electric training dog collar. Now, the way that I found this is I actually went back to AutoDS and I went to the trending product section. So, what the trending product section is is it's simply another part of the AutoDS marketplace where it shows products that are on the rise. So, they're not necessarily products that are currently just going absolutely viral. They're products that are on their way up and these are found through the AutoDS AI. So, we have an AI system that actually scour the internet and looks for these kinds of products so that we can get a heads up on what products are actually going to be selling in the near future or again on their way up right now. Now, on the trending product section, what I did is over here, I looked through a few different categories. Ultimately, I went through pets and then I started looking to see what we could find through here. And then I came across this one right here, the electric training dog collar. It's currently at $27.30 with free shipping to the US. And when I looked it up on Amazon, we can see the same exact product is running for $61.99 and it's being sold by whoever this is, Sxdddh ZX. And then if we look at the reviews over here, it only has about two reviews and they're five stars. So it looks like this is something that people are currently actually looking for and they're purchasing. Let's just do one quick verification more. So if we look at electric dog collar, we can see that these are products that are people are actually looking for. So we have 602 reviews, 20,000 reviews. We have here 146. So people are actually actively purchasing these. So the next step from here now that we actually found a product that we want to sell is to see if we're actually eligible to sell this kind of product. So what we're going to do is up here on the link, right? You're going to look for this number here after the DP. This one right here. And what this is is this is going to be the product as this is going to be the product identification number. Okay? Okay. So, if we look for it over here in the search bar, we're going to see here that this product is the one that came up. So, perfect. This is the one that we're looking for. So, now in order to confirm if we can actually sell this or not, we're going to go back to our Amazon seller central and then we're going to go to the products. We're going to simply just try to add it. So, under products, we're going to go to add products and then here we're going to go to product IDs and we're going to paste in our as here. Go ahead and click on submit. And then this window is going to open up. And then when this little window opens up, this is what's going to tell us whether or not we can sell this product or not. So right now it's telling us to select a condition and sell. Right now it's looking like we're good to go. But some people might see something different depending on the product that you're trying to sell. So somebody might see that it needs some sort of approval. And if you do need approval, then you can go ahead and submit for the approval if you want. But I'm looking to get something quick. I'm looking to get started selling pretty much immediately. So I don't have time to be asking for approval. So, if you see the option to request approval, just go ahead and skip it and look for another product. But in this case, we're going to go ahead and switch this over to new. We're going to click on sell this product, and we can officially enter the buy box for this. Now, this is very good news. Okay, so when we did go into it, it is giving us this error telling us that we haven't sold this product again, and we would have to create a new product in order to sell this. So, that's not what we're looking to do. So, we're just going to go ahead and once again look for another product, and we'll be right back. Okay, so after a bit of research, I found one product that I think is going to be perfect to start selling on Amazon, and that's going to be a grip strength trainer. And the way that I found it is I simply just went back to the marketplace. I started looking through the different suppliers. I specifically looked through, in this case, the AliExpress suppliers that we have on here, and I found it over here. So, once I clicked into it, we have the information on the product itself. It has free shipping and it's $32.98. Now, when I looked it up on Amazon itself, I found here that it's being sold for $439. And then when I took the as and I chucked it into Amazon over here, it pulled up the product. It's showing the lowest price is $442. And then when I click on sell this product, it took us to the ad offer page. So there's no pop-ups. It's not requiring us to apply to sell. So here we have the opportunity to actually sell this product and undercut the current seller by even $1 to $2 and we'll be able to win that buy box ourselves. Now, we can source this product for $32.98 and the current offer is $44.442. So, let's just go ahead and do some quick maths. So, $44.442 minus how much are we sourcing it for? $32.98 with free shipping. We are making about $144 per sale. Now, we're going to make a little bit less than this because we're going to be selling it for $1 to $2 less. So, we'll be making about $9 per sale. But, what we'll be able to do afterwards is we'll be able to start looking for more suppliers that can give us a better price or better offer on this. so we can make a few extra bucks. So now let's go ahead and continue with actually selling this product. What we're going to do here is we're going to fill out everything that it's asking us for. So the audience is going to be sell on Amazon, which is going to be the default. We're not going to be selling it from business to business, although you can if you prefer if you want to. This would be selling on Amazon business accounts. It's going to ask you if you want to sell on other marketplaces. We're not going to touch this. The skew we're going to leave as is. And the fulfillment channel, this is one that's going to be very important. So we're not going to be using Fulfilled by Amazon. We're going to be using the merchant fulfilled option. I want to ship this item myself. Then it's going to ask us what our quantity is. So in this case, we can just go ahead and put let's say five of them. It's really going to depend on what our suppliers have on hand. Then we can set our offer. So currently the lowest price is 44.442. We're going to go ahead and undercut it. We're going to put 42 42 even. Actually, you know what? Let's make it even better. Let's do $42.99. So that way we can make 99 cents more. So we are going to have the lowest price, which means we'll be winning the buy box for this. Now, the item condition is going to be new. And then we're going to have to create a shipping template. So, the shipping template is one that I already have created. But for this, what you do is you run to your Amazon seller dashboard. Then, on your seller dashboard, you can look for shipping template. And then this option over here, manage shipping templates. You can go ahead and click on this. Then, it's going to give you the direct link to it. So, it'll take you to the shipping settings, which is over here. You're going to see your shipping templates. And from here, you're simply going to set where you're going to be shipping from. Now, this is going to be very dependent on your suppliers. You don't want to put that you're shipping from, let's say, Denver when your product is actually coming from China. You want to make sure that your shipping templates, they match your shipping suppliers. And the good thing about this is that you can go ahead and create multiple templates for multiple suppliers or multiple regions, and then you're able to select them through here. Now, since we are going to be using automation for this, and because we do have the professional plan, we're going to be able to automate our product importing. and it's going to be a lot easier than, let's say, going through all of these different steps and getting everything done that way manually. So, it's fine if you want to do things manually. If you do one to two, maybe three or four products a day, then you're not going to take a long time uploading products. But if you start uploading multiple products a day and also when it comes to fulfilling your orders, if you're fulfilling multiple orders a day, then it is going to start to become very timeconuming. And one of the best things that you can do in order to start scaling your business is to automate all of the repetitive tasks. product importing, pricing your products, fulfilling your orders. These are all things that need to be automated in order for you to be able to scale efficiently. Now, I did promise you a cheat sheet with everything that I'm talking about in this video. And if you want access to that, just go ahead and drop a comment with the hashtag autods to Amazon and let me know what your takeaway was from this video. If I see that you went ahead and did that, I'll reply back with a link to the sheet. All right, let's continue. So, what we're going to do is we're going to go back to AutoDS. By the way, if you want to check out AutoDS, the link to it is going to be down in the description below, and it is going to be in the cheat sheet as well. So, make sure you check that out so that way you can take advantage of the current trial period. And once you sign up, you're simply going to go ahead and click on add store. I'm going to click on Amazon. Go ahead and continue. It's going to ask us for our store name. So, for this, I'm going to put my Amazon store. And then the marketplace is going to be wherever it is that you're selling. So, for me, I'm going to be selling in the US. I'm going to go ahead and click on add store. Then, it's going to take us to our Amazon dashboard. And on here, we're simply going to go ahead and confirm. Now, it's going to share data from our Amazon account to our AutoDS account. And then, if we click back into it, we're going to see here we have my Amazon store. We can go ahead and update. And this is where we're going to be uploading our products to. So, now what I want to do is I want to go ahead and take this link. And I'm going to go back to out of DS. I'm going to go ahead and click on add products. I'm going to do single product. And it's going to ask us for the AS. So, we can go ahead and paste in our link. It's going to delete everything else from it. and it's going to keep the as itself. And then it's going to ask us for our supplier URL or the product ID where it is that we're going to be purchasing this product from or sourcing it. So for this, what we're going to do is we're going to go ahead and find the listing that we just had, which is this one over here. And we can either take the whole link or we can just take the product ID over here. Go ahead and copy it and paste it into here. Now, from here, we're going to go ahead and add as a draft, and it's going to add it to our draft section. Now, the other option that you have is to simply find the product through the AutoDS supplier that we just had, and just do the import as draft and edit manually. Go ahead and click on that. It's going to ask us for the AS, which was the one that we just had earlier. It's going to ask us for the AS. So, we just paste it in here and click on done. Now, after it gets added to our draft, we're going to go ahead and see it here. And we're going to be able to switch a few of the different things. We can't change everything such as the title or the brand because this is already hardcoded and set by Amazon. What we can do, however, is change the shipping methods. Now, for this, I don't suggest doing cheapest or fastest. Just keep it at cheapest with tracking. So that way, we can get guaranteed a tracking number, which is what all our customers are going to need. If we do cheapest, we might not get a tracking number. If we do fastest with tracking, we're probably going to be spending a lot more than the product is probably even worth in just shipping. So, keep it at cheapest with tracking. And as far as our monitoring, we're going to keep stock monitoring, price monitoring, and auto order all on. The reason for this is because this is going to ensure that we don't sell a product that's not in stock. Now, you remember how when we looked at this one over here at the Amazon import, we're asked how many we had in quantity. So, we just put five. Well, what the stock monitoring is going to do is it's going to ensure that our stock is always available. So, if we have just one or two in stock, it might just show it as out of stock just in case somebody makes a purchase. That's the way that I have it set up. I'll show you how to set all of that up in just a few minutes. Now, besides that, we have our description. Again, we can't really change any of this because this is hardcoded through Amazon, but just so you know, this is where all the information is. And then we have our product over here. So, what we're going to do is we're going to click on edit, and we're going to set our offer on here. Now, through here, we can set our different fees. We can set our profit, and we can set our selling price. Now, our fees are typically going to be about 15% on average as the highest fee on Amazon. So, Amazon's highest fees are going to be maxing out at 15%. It can be less, but I always like to set the fee percentage at the max. And if it is less, then we just make a couple of extra bucks. Now, what I want to do is I also want to ensure that our selling price is what we had set earlier. So, we had said that we were going to sell it at how much? $42.99. So, if we switch this over to $42.99, we're going to see that our profit drops to 7.82% and we're going to be making just about $2.65 per sale. Now, we don't have to worry about that just yet because at the end of the day, we are going to be looking for better suppliers to help us out with better profits. Now, again, this is assuming that our fees are 15%. It can be a lot less. It really depends on the category of product that we're selling. Now, if we look here on the automation, we can go ahead and click on add automation, and it's going to take us to this page over here. This is under the settings under automations. And if we add an automation, this is basically going to adjust our pricing to find that sweet spot. Let's just do this as a test. So, let's do test automation. We're going to find our base selling price. Go ahead and click on next. And then it's going to ask us a few questions. So when the number of sales is higher than one every let's say 1 day, we can set the price by raising it by a certain percentage up to a limit of let's say 10%. So we can raise our price by 1% up to a limit of 10% max that we're raising it. And same thing for the actual product price in terms of the dollar amount. Now if we click on next, it's also going to do the same for the opposite. So let's say if our number of sales is lower than let's say two sales every 5 days. We can then decrease the price by let's do something a lot smaller. Let's say.5% up to a limit of 3% because I don't want to go down too much. Same thing goes for the dollar amount. Now when we hit next we'll be able to assign the different products to this automation. And we can simply click on I will assign products later and then we'll assign the products to our automation a little bit later. The reason that the Amazon product isn't showing up just now is because the Amazon product is under our draft section rather than our products and already set live. So, if we do go back here, we're going to go ahead and check out the variations. Let's go ahead and set our product again. So, we can set the automations on here. So, we can put it as test just to start testing our prices. But for now, I'm going to leave it at no automation and then click on save. So, we have our new price set. We have the different images. These again, we can't really add or edit. And from here, we're pretty much good to go. So, we can go ahead and click on save and import. And then the product is going to be imported to our Amazon dashboard. So, let's just give it a quick minute. And here we have the confirmation that the product has been uploaded. So, here we have the buy price, we have the sell price, we have how much we're going to be making in profit. Again, right now it's not that high, but what we're going to do is we're going to request sourcing so we can find better products or we can find better offers. Now, for this, you can do this either directly through here or you can do it once you get your first order. My suggestion is to wait until you get your first order because that way you can request sourcing for completely free. If you do it through here and you request a sourcing through the products page, it is going to cost you an AI credit. Now, if you have AI credits and you want to just do it now, by all means, but I'm just going to wait till I get my first order. Let's cut it at that and let's see what this looks like cuz I don't remember what this looks like. And if it's good, we'll keep it. If not, we'll remove it. But just so that way you see what it looks like, let's go ahead and click on request sourcing. You see here, it's going to charge us one auto orderer credit. But if we already have an order and we do it through the orders page, it's going to be for free and it's going to be processed a lot faster. But again, let's just go ahead and proceed with the sourcing just so you can see what it looks like. And then it's going to look for a few different sources for the same product. Okay, so it came up with a few search results and these all don't seem to be exactly what we're looking for. What it did is it did a visual search and it's not really what we needed. So what we can do in this case is we can request manual sourcing. And what will happen here is that this product is going to be sent out to all of the different autos suppliers. And any supplier that's offering the same product, they'll go ahead and send us their offer. And then from there, we can go ahead and choose which one [music] we want to go with. So you can see here that the sourcing status is currently in progress and within 24 to 48 hours we should have a few different options to choose from with some better pricing. But now if we go to our Amazon seller dashboard and we click on our products, we're going to see here that we have our product, our grip strength trainer. Now it is missing our offer. So we can simply just go ahead and click on add missing offer details. It's going to take us to this page here. Let's go ahead and do the same thing. Click on add. And now it already has our price. We have it set at $42.99. That's what we had set it over at AutoDS with. And it is showing that we do have the lowest price. So, that's good on that part. And all we really have to do is go ahead and scroll down to the bottom and then switch on. For United States, it was off. But once we switch it on, we should be able to save and finish. Okay. So, from here, we can go ahead and click on done. Now, after we did the change, it is still saying that it's missing the offer details, but that's because it just needs to update. So, just give it a few minutes. And once you refresh, it should be good to go. Now, let me show you really quick how you can set up a new shipping template that's going to be specific to your different suppliers. So, what we want to do is we want to go back to our shipping templates. For this, just go ahead and click on the search, look for shipping settings, and then it'll take you directly to here. And then you're going to have your create new shipping template. Let's go ahead and click on that. And it's going to ask you if you want to copy from the original template that you have there. For this, we're just going to start a new shipping template and click on okay. And then we're going to go ahead and set the rest of this information. So what we're going to be doing is essentially getting rid of anything that's expedited because we're not going to be offering that. So let's remove expedited. Let's remove today. We don't have the option for these. And what we're going to do is we're going to stick to just the standard shipping. So let's also remove the free economy. Go ahead and click on okay. And now we're going to go ahead and edit all of this. So when we ship to any of these different locations, we're going to go ahead and set our transit time. So, our transit time, I like to keep it at the longest just to start so we can gauge our supplier and see how long it actually takes them to ship our orders. So, we're going to keep that at 5 to 8. The shipping fee, we're going to keep that as free. So, free shipping. Same thing goes for any of these different regions. So, we're going to go ahead and switch it over to the longest. Hawaii, Alaska, and Puerto Rico. That's definitely going to be going to be the longest because that usually does take a little bit extra than anywhere else in the US. But again, we're going to go ahead and offer free shipping for these because our supplier is going to be shipping them directly. So from here, we can go ahead and scroll all the way down and click on save. Now, the shipping templates that we just set, those are where we're going to ship to. The next thing that we need to do is switch over where we're going to ship from. And this is what's going to be tied to our different products or to our suppliers. So, what we want to do here is under general shipping settings, we want to go ahead and add new warehouse occasions. So, under default shipping address, we can go ahead and look for order fulfillment settings here. And we can start to switch over the information. So, we can do view locations. And by default, the address that I have on file is going to be the one that it's shipping from. But what we want to do is we want to do create a new location. And from here, we're going to start adding the locations from where our suppliers are shipping from. So, let's take for example, we have somebody that's shipping from Denver. So, let's go. Let's do Colorado. This we don't have to worry about. As far as the address, we can go ahead and put United States. And then we're going to have to have an address in Colorado. Now, this is not going to be that hard to find. In the cheat sheet, I am going to give you a few different sources or a few different links to different PDFs that have multiple shipping addresses with different warehouses on them that you can use to add the information on here. Now, for now, I already have one that I'm going to be using. So, let's go ahead and put this in here. And then we're going to have shipping or instore pickup. We're not going to be doing instore pickup. We are going to be offering the shipping. So, we're going to go ahead and create this location. Now, you don't have to worry about the primary phone number or the email address. You can put whatever it is that you want there because nobody's really going to be reaching out to those locations. So, all right, perfect. We went ahead and created the location. We have this as a shipping option. So, this will be where one of our products ships from or where we set some of our products to ship from. Now, what happens when somebody actually starts placing an order on our store? Well, in this case, what's going to happen is we're going to need to be able to fulfill these orders. Now, you can go ahead and run over to your Amazon account, and you're going to go to the orders tab, and then you're going to fulfill your orders through here. I currently don't have any at the moment, but this is where they're all going to appear, and you're going to be able to add the shipping information for your product and fulfill it. But the other option is going to be doing it through AutoDS. So, when an order comes in, you're going to have all of your orders come in through here. And then you're going to see it over here as pending. Now, when it is pending, if we have auto order turned on, like I showed you earlier, it will automatically place the order for you. Now, there's two different ways that this can happen. It can either be done through auto order or through fulfilled by AutoDS. I suggest going through fulfilled by AutoDS because what that's going to do is it's going to take your balance that's up here and it's going to place the order for you through your supplier. Whereas the auto orderer function, it'll work in a similar way except what it's going to do is it's going to log in to your supplers's website, let's say through AliExpress, and it's going to use your banking details or your credit card information to place that order for you. To me, fulfilled by AutoDS is a lot quicker and it's a lot easier to use. And one thing that you are going to need to do in this case is going to be to download and install this Chrome extension right here, the AutoDS drop ship helper, because what this is going to do is it's going to prefill your customers information for you. So, Amazon doesn't share that information with anybody. So, when you come on here, you're not going to have the address for your customers. So, the only thing you're going to have to do is open up that Chrome extension, and it'll show you your different orders, copy the address, and then you'll be able to paste it into here where you see your order. Now, if you do want a full demo on how that works, you can go ahead and check out this video right here. It is a very detailed step-by-step, full on three-hour course where Lauron shows you absolutely everything that you need to know on how to start and scale your Amazon drop shipping business. In there, you will be able to see real live orders that have come through the store and how they're fulfilled, and you're going to be able to see absolutely everything in action. So, I highly suggest you check it out after this one, so that way you can start to scale your business even further. Now, the last thing that I'm going to show you is how you can get paid because this is obviously one of the most important parts. So, through the Amazon search bar up here, you just simply search up deposit, and then you'll be able to look up the deposit methods. Now, on here, you can simply just go ahead and add your deposit method or your payout method, and it's going to show up through here. It's going to tell you how long it takes for you to get paid, and it's going to give you an option also for express payout. I like doing the standard payouts because it does take a couple of extra days, but you're not going to get charged any extra fees. Whereas express methods, they are quicker, but they're typically going to be charging you a certain percentage. Now, remember, if you do want the cheat sheet with all of this information that I included in this video for you laid out in a pretty easy step-by-step manner, go ahead and comment down below the #autods to Amazon, and let me know what your takeaway was from this video, and I'll make sure to send you the cheat sheet.
