Why am I being charged extra on my AutoDS account?

Topic summary

Multiple merchants on the Basic Shopify plan report unexpected, large AutoDS charges labeled as “add ons,” despite not adding anything. One cites a $603.14 charge on Jan 12 ($533.75 for add-ons + $69.39 tax); others report $368.70 or a similar attempted charge without purchases.

AutoDS is a third-party app. The advised action is to contact AutoDS support via Shopify admin: Settings > Apps and sales channels > … > Get support > describe the issue > Send.

No explanation or resolution is provided in the thread. The discussion remains open, with the key unanswered question being why AutoDS is billing for add-ons that users say they did not select.

I have the baisic shopify plan and I use AutoDS as my supplier. Yesterday, on January 12 I was charged $603.14, %533.75 of it was from autoDS saying that I had “add ons” and $69.39 for tax. I have no clue what this is and I did not add anything on AutoDS. Can someone explain why this is happening and how I can fix it.

I had the exact same incident today, but for $368.70. Were you able to get it figured out?

Me too! They tried to charge me the same amount without me even purchasing anything

Hi @Popularsells

AutoDS pricing is based on a monthly or yearly subscription, plus any optional add-ons you choose, so you always know what you’re paying for.

Each plan includes a set listing limit and features, with add-ons like automation tools, product research, or VA access billed separately. You can review your plan, add-ons, and billing details anytime in your Account & Billing section.
