Reaching the number one spot doesn’t happen overnight. The podium is just a snapshot of a story, usually built on effort, teamwork, and vision. However, by being officially named Shopify’s #1 Affiliate and Partner for 2024, AutoDS’s growing role and influence within the global eCommerce ecosystem are more evident than ever.
This recognition marks a milestone in a journey we continue to pursue, one where we keep growing together with the dropshippers and partners we’ve worked alongside throughout the past year.
AutoDS was named Shopify’s #1 Affiliate and Partner for 2024.
This recognition goes to the partner generating the most referrals and sales.
Over 1 million merchants used AutoDS tools to grow their online businesses in 2024.
The collaboration with Shopify reflects strong, scalable support.
This milestone underscores long-term vision and shared success in e-commerce.
The Achievement in Brief
Through its affiliate program, which includes entrepreneurs, educators, influencers, and content creators, Shopify enables us to earn commissions while building businesses on the platform. Affiliates earn a commission when a new user signs up and purchases a complete Shopify plan using their referral link.
Reaching the #1 spot in this program means being the top performer in generating referrals or sales. That’s why, in 2024, AutoDS stood out as one of Shopify’s largest and most effective partners when bringing in new users and driving sales through affiliate links.
While this is undoubtedly a reason to celebrate and raise a toast, it shouldn’t come as a surprise, especially considering how many dropshippers and entrepreneurs benefit from this all-in-one automation tool in their e-commerce stores!
Why This Recognition Matters To Us
It always feels good to have your efforts recognized—yes, even if you try to play it humble. Come on! Let us celebrate your achievements. But beyond the sentiment, there are a few key factors we can’t overlook when it comes to the significance of this recognition:
In 2024 alone, AutoDS played a leading role in providing tools and resources that helped entrepreneurs launch and grow their online businesses. The number of entrepreneurs supported just last year reached 1 million. One million merchants, both newcomers and seasoned sellers, benefited from a robust automation platform that delivered practical tools and strategic support.
To put it simply, AutoDS was instrumental in making entering the online business world much easier and helping sellers find their place in a highly competitive landscape.
“This recognition means more than a title—it’s a reflection of the trust we’ve built with merchants and Shopify over the years,” said AutoDS’s CEO, Lior Pozin.
Achievements like this highlight the value of long-term collaboration between platforms and technology partners, while also showing the real scalability results that can be achieved through AutoDS features.
