3 Example Prompts

Copy and paste any of these directly into Claude after connecting the AutoDS MCP.

📥 Product Import & Publishing

I'd like to add a new product to my dropshipping store. Here's the listing URL: [paste URL]. Please import it to my draft list, confirm the buy price and estimated profit margin, then publish it directly to my Shopify storefront once it's ready.

📊 Store Intelligence Dashboard

Retrieve all active and draft products from my AutoDS store and generate a professional HTML dashboard. Include: a full product catalog table with buy price, sell price, profit margin, supplier, and shipping time per SKU; KPI summary cards for total products, highest-margin item, and overall margin rate; an AI-written segment analysis of what market this store serves; and an actionable insights section flagging issues such as missing sell prices, disabled monitoring, or token errors.

🔗 Multi-Supplier Bulk Import

I want to test three products in my store from different suppliers. Here are the URLs: [Amazon URL], [AliExpress URL], [Walmart URL]. Import all three to my draft list, wait for each to complete, then give me a side-by-side comparison table of their buy prices, sell prices, profit margins, shipping times, and suppliers.

🔍 Draft Catalog Audit

Pull all products currently in draft status from my store and identify which ones are missing a sell price, have estimated shipping times over 15 days, or have stock and price monitoring disabled. Present the findings as a prioritized action list.

💰 Margin Analysis & Selective Publishing

List all my active and draft products sorted by profit margin from highest to lowest. Highlight any earning more than $50 profit per sale, flag those with stock or price monitoring disabled, and then publish the top 3 draft products by margin directly to my store.

✦ Tips

💬

Claude remembers context within a conversation — after a product search, you can say "add that one to my store" without repeating yourself.

💰

Always review the supplier price vs. suggested sell price before uploading. Aim for at least 25–30% margin after shipping costs.

⚠️

If you see a "renew store token" warning, reconnect your store in AutoDS Settings → Stores.
