 Order automation has come a long way for dropshippers all around the world. First, we used to manually fulfill our orders by logging into our supplier sites, purchasing the product and shipping it directly to our customers. Then we came with the automated order service, which automated all of your orders for you. AutoDS would simply process them for you using your buyer accounts and your payment information inside them. And today we have the fulfilled by AutoDS service which simply automates 100% of your orders without even using your own buyer accounts and your payment information. And that is exactly what I'm going to talk about in this video. So first things first, make sure that you opt it in for the fulfilled by AutoDS service. We have a full help guide on how to do that on our help section on our website. Next, on the orders page, make sure that you have auto order credits on the top right. And when you signed up for AutoDS, most chances are that you got a bonus on your auto credits. So go and see how much you have. If you don't have any, use the buy credits option and buy the package that suits you best, the bigger the credits package that you buy, the cheaper you're going to pay for each credit. Once you have auto order credits, make sure that you have a balance to fulfill your orders. This is because AutoDS is not using your buyer accounts to pay for your orders. That is the old method of automating orders when AutoDS would simply use your buyer accounts on your supplier sites to process your orders using your credit card information. So now at the fulfilled by AutoDS service, there is no more cost to the bank for getting a higher credit line, no more ordering new credit cards and separate them by stores to understand the cash flow of each store. And there are many more advantages in this model when AutoDS does not need any of your buyer accounts and any of your payment information. All you have to worry about is loading balance by clicking on the load button over here, choosing how much of a balance you would like to load, choosing your payment method, click on load balance and then you will have a balance that will show up over here. And once you have a balance, as soon as an order comes in, AutoDS will simply process it and deduct the orders price from the account balance. That's how simple it is and you don't have to worry about accounts getting locked. Once again, ordering a higher credit line with the bank, all of those problems have been solved. So that is one of the biggest advantages of the fulfilled by AutoDS service. So once again, opt into the fulfilled by AutoDS service, make sure you have auto order credits and make sure that you have an account balance to pay for the orders. You can also check out your purchase history so you can see all of the orders that AutoDS processed for you, what was your balance before, how much each order costs, what your balance is now. So you have full transparency on what's going on with your cash flow. Everything is easy to read and understandable. And finally, you can also download invoices on all of your previous orders if you need it for financial services or for any other reason. So once again, easy order automation, full transparency for an overall easy cash flow management. So right now we're on the orders page. And the first thing that you'd want to notice is this icon over here. When I hover over it, you'll see that it says completed by the fulfilled by AutoDS service. This means that the AutoDS system has fulfilled this order for us. Now when the order first comes in, it will be in pending status as you see right over here. So first things first, we'll see the order and pending. Now in the settings, when we click on the supplier in the orders tab, we enabled automatic orders. This means that as soon as the order comes in, AutoDS will recognize that we have the fulfilled by AutoDS service enabled. And if we enabled automatic orders, the order will start in pending, but it will move right away automatically to the order processing. That means that AutoDS will process the order automatically and will not wait for any further action on our side. But if we did not have the automatic orders checked in, only the process orders using the fulfilled by AutoDS service, then once an order comes in, it will simply stay in pending status as we see over here. And we'll have to click on it and send it to AutoOrder. Now we can see that it's in order process and AutoDS will fulfill this order very soon using one AutoOrder credit and using our fulfilled by AutoDS balance. Now you may notice that we just got an error. That's because it's a duplicate order. AutoDS has already fulfilled this order and it doesn't want to fulfill the order twice and charges twice for it. So it scanned this order. It knows that it already processed it and it won't process it again. So it's always good to have an extra layer of protection for these things. So we know that the buy price is $41.92. Make sure that you have enough balance in the account balance and AutoDS will simply process that order for you. So that's the first order status that we have. We have pending if you didn't automate your orders right away. In order process means AutoDS will process that order soon. Then once the unit is ordered, AutoDS will automatically switch the status from in order process to ordered. And AutoDS will automatically provide you with the buy order ID that it got from your supplier. So for this example, let's say that this is our order ID. Once again, we're getting it automatically from AutoDS. We don't need to manually do it. So you'll always know what the order ID is from your supplier side. It'll help you track the order. But once the order is shipped, AutoDS again will switch the status from order to shipped. And it will automatically provide you with the tracking number that it got from your supplier. So as soon as tracking information is available on any one of your orders from your suppliers, AutoDS will see that it will take the tracking information from your suppliers, add it to your order information on AutoDS with the tracking number and the shipping carrier. And it will do the same on your eBay or Shopify store. So tracking information will be updated on AutoDS and on the selling channel that you are selling on. So again, there's nothing for you to do when it comes to processing the order. There is nothing for you to do when it comes to adding tracking information on AutoDS and on your selling platform. Everything here is automated for you. The next status that you'll have is delivered. AutoDS will change it to this status once the product has reached its final destination. And we also have a canceled status. So whether you have an order in pending status or in sent to auto order, and it hasn't been ordered yet, you can simply switch it to the canceled status and AutoDS will simply not try to process this specific order. So the canceled status is for orders that haven't been processed yet. Now, if an order has been processed and the customer wishes to cancel the order and return the unit that they purchased, in this case, again, everything is very easy, simplified and automated. Head to the order that you would like to return, click on the order status, and then click on request to cancel. What's going to happen now is we have the request return status. And in up to 48 hours, AutoDS will provide us with a return label for this order. Again, everything is automated, AutoDS will go to the supplier, get a return label. And once it will be ready, if we are qualified for a return label, which means we are complying with our supplier's return policies, then AutoDS will provide a return label on that order. Take a look at this example over here. Return in progress, which means the status here was request return. And now we have a return label over here. You see this blue icon and when I hover over it, it says download return label. Let's see what happens when I click on it. As you can see, a file was downloaded onto my computer. Let's open that up. And here we have the return label. Let's just switch it upside down over here. Okay, so here we have the return label. And now all you have to do is send this return label to your customer. They will return the unit. And once they return the package in about a week, we will see the refund in our account balance. You'll also get an email from AutoDS that the order was returned successfully, but you can always check your view purchase history. And here you will see the total refund that was issued to you on that order. So that's how simple it is to process one click returns, saving a lot of time and a lot of effort along the way. Now, if you are not eligible for a return for any reason, you will see a return failed message as we see over here. If you would like to know the reason why the return was not approved, simply hover over the exclamation mark that we see over here. And as you see, it says return window closed. This means that for example, if our supplier gave us up to a 30 day return window and we opened a return request 40 or 50 days later, then they will not approve the return and we will get the reason for that here. So in other words, return window closed means we exceeded the maximum amount of days where we can return this product so we cannot return it at this point. In any other case, you'll get the download return label as I've demonstrated over here. And that is all when it comes to order statuses on the fulfilled by AutoDS system in the orders page. That sums up this explanation for the fulfilled by AutoDS system. I'm sure that you will find it to be a very helpful tool. And if you haven't tried it out before, I strongly urge you to try it out, give it a try. And I'm sure that you will not go back to manually processing your orders or even using your own buyer accounts with automated services. No more locked accounts, no more credit line issues at the bank, you go to sleep at night and wake up in the morning to new orders in the ordered status and some of them have already been shipped. Your customers are going to receive their packages in blazing fast speeds. They're going to be happy. You're going to be happy win-win situation for everyone. Enjoy it and I'll see you in the future videos.
