Many users appreciate its ability to connect with other brands and expand their product offerings without the hassle of managing inventory. The app is praised for its seamless integration with Shopify, user-friendly interface, and responsive customer support.

I initially gave this app a 1 star review (because I had a poor service when I first installed this app), and was contacted by the owners and given an upgrade to try it again, and to rewrite my review. I then gave it 4 stars. That was a mistake. I set up my store on this app, with the instructions that were given, at the time (November 2024) and my store was set up so that others could sell my wares, NOT so that I could sell others' wares, as I had intended. I got busy with Black Friday and end of the year and have just now been able to come back to this app and I see there are 8 "partners" to my store. The app has better instructions now, and has a guide, including a video, telling you how to get set up with them. No where on this video did I see that people are to import your listings, which not only copies and pastes photos/videos from your site, but several stores have copied and pasted the descriptions that I painstakingly created myself. This is not okay with me. This can confuse customers, and can severely hurt SEO. I have now had to contact the owners of these stores requesting them to remove those listings from their stores, only to be told by some store owners - that (1) this is the way Buddify works; (2) that this doesn't hurt SEO and (3) just remove my store from Buddify and that will fix the problem. None of that is a solution. (1) This should NOT be the way Buddify works, because you should write your own listings. (2) It does hurt SEO and (3) I've contacted support already and awaiting a reply from them, but am not holding my breath. This is not a good app.

They force you to pay 1 year up front. I tried it out and have gotten zero partnerships. Very quiet and inactive platform. Save your money.

We were charged a week early due to notifying buddify of a services cancelation inquiry & never received any accommodation using the app.

DONT BOTHER INSTALLING UNLESS YOU ARE WILLING TO PAY FOR IT BEFORE EVEN TRYING IT.They say there is a "Free" plan but then, after you download, they FORCE an "onboarding" process that is impossible to dismiss which REQUIRES you to pick from 1 of 3 PAID PLANS before you can even explore the app and experience it. The only thing that is FREE is the DOWNLOAD. Period. This is FALSE ADVERTISING and bull.
