Switching from Shiftly Auto

Cam Johnson, Blog Writer · Updated September 2026

Thinking about moving off Shiftly Auto? Good news: this is one of the easiest switches in dealer software, because there’s nothing to migrate — no feeds, no DMS integration, no data export. Here’s the clean way to do it.

Step 1 — Check your Shiftly billing date

Users report Shiftly bills the first three months up front. Whatever you’ve already paid is spent either way — waiting out prepaid months doesn’t earn anything, and every week on the old workflow is more clicks per listing and zero Instagram or TikTok reach. Switch now; just note your billing date so the cancellation lands before the next charge.

Step 2 — Sign up and install (same day)

Sign up online ($99/mo, month-to-month, no call required), install the Chrome extension, and sign in. Setup is minutes: there’s no feed to configure because the scraper reads vehicles straight from the pages you already use.

Step 3 — Set up your group presets once

If you shared listings to Facebook groups manually under Shiftly, this is the switch’s biggest daily win: create group presets once and every listing auto-shares to up to 20 of your groups as part of the same single click.

Step 4 — Post a real batch

Open a unit on your dealer site, AutoTrader, or CarGurus and click once — filled, confirmed, and shared in under 30 seconds. Then try Auto Pilot on up to 7 units in one click. Compare that against your Shiftly workflow (users report about 4 clicks per listing with manual group sharing) on the same afternoon.

Step 5 — Cancel Shiftly ahead of the next charge

Don’t run both — a Marketplace listing is the same listing whichever tool posted it, so a second subscription buys nothing. Once your first batch is live you’ll have everything Shiftly did plus Instagram, TikTok, automatic group sharing, and the customization layer (banner overlays, photo crop, AI descriptions). Cancel Shiftly before its next billing date. And if AutoLister Pro somehow isn’t the fit, it’s month-to-month — walking away costs $99, not ~$447.

Frequently asked questions

Do I lose my existing Facebook Marketplace listings when I switch?

No. Your live Marketplace listings belong to your Facebook profile, not to any tool. They stay up when you stop using Shiftly — and once you're on AutoLister Pro, new and relisted units get its management: auto price updates, auto-renew, and automatic sold-listing removal.

Is there anything to migrate?

No. AutoLister Pro has no feed or DMS setup — the built-in scraper reads vehicles straight from your dealer website, AutoTrader, CarGurus, Cars.com, and more. Install the Chrome extension, sign in, post.

Should I run both tools at the same time?

There's no reason to — a Facebook Marketplace listing is the same listing no matter which tool posted it, so running both just means paying twice for one job. The difference between the tools is the workflow and the reach: with AutoLister Pro the same click that posts to Marketplace also posts to Instagram and TikTok, shares to your groups automatically, and gives you more customization — banner overlays, photo crop, AI descriptions. Just switch.
