Overall, merchants using the "Etsy Integration ‑ CedCommerce" app are generally pleased with its functionality, particularly for integrating Shopify and Etsy stores. Many users emphasize the excellent customer support provided by CedCommerce's team, who are described as responsive, knowledgeable, and willing to go above and beyond to help with any issues. However, a few users have experienced billing issues and some limitations in the app's functionality, indicating room for improvement in certain areas.
The "Etsy Integration ‑ CedCommerce" app is valued for its ability to streamline the operations between Shopify and Etsy, with its customer service frequently highlighted as a standout feature. While it greatly eases inventory and product management tasks, users should be aware of some reported billing concerns and initial setup challenges. Nonetheless, its robust features and dedicated support make it a recommended tool for serious Etsy sellers aiming to optimize their ecommerce efficiency.
This app is TERRIBLE. I used it for a very short while because during that time I had so many issues that did not get resolved. The support was wonderful at first especially with helping get it installed and set up. They tried to get me to leave a review immediately and thankfully Shopify will not allow reviews if you're in a trial phase. *DO NOT* leave a review until you have been using it for a while and be *WARY* of the positive reviews on here because they try to get you to leave a review anytime you use support. They were great in the beginning (perhaps the reason for all the 5 star reviews since they push you to review right away) but I quickly found that would not be the longer term experience. But then - when I had issues that I contacted them about they would tell me they would get back with me within a certain timeframe only to not do so. I had to follow up with them and the issues I had were not getting resolved. Finally I uninstalled it and they begged me to re-install. When I would not, they begged me to set up a meeting to discuss the issues, claiming they just wanted to learn what happened to improve. I was willing but I requested a refund because I had paid for a full year up front. They denied my request at first, then told me I would get a refund when I pointed out they were stealing my money if they did not refund me for the amount covering the time I was not using the app. I told them I would challenge the entire amount through the payment processor if they would not agree to refund for the time I had not used the app. Once I saw the refund, I said I would schedule a meeting. They continued asking me to schedule it, said the refund was coming it and *of course* it never showed up. Weeks had passed by this time and then I had to wait additional weeks to go through the dispute process. I kept all documentation which served me well because I finally got the refund from the payment processor. *BEWARE* of using this app. Look at the other negative reviews -- I wish I had before installing it. It was a nightmare overall. I have found another app that is amazing - have been using it for several months and it's a night and day difference. It is one of the ones with the tag "Built for Shopify" which I think could be part of what makes the difference. ETA- As you can see in their response, my case did not fall under their "refund" policy -- which basically is *NO REFUND*. But they did agree to refund me when I stated charging me for months I was not using the app was stealing and refused to re-install or agree to a meeting, which I have documentation of -- the reason the payment processor refunded the money to me after weeks of trying to get it from CED commerce and then gathering and sending all of my documentation of what happened in. So *BUYER BEWARE* -- KNOW BEFORE you buy and absolutely *DO NOT* pay for a year in advance regardless of the discounted price because as you see from their response and my experience, even if they agree to refund you it will *NOT* happen on their end. You will have to challenge through your bank or Paypal and make sure you document *EVERYTHING* well.
The language support is a lie. I had to manually translate all my products. I found out that not all the languages are supported only after payment.

This app feels outdated and lacks the essential functionality required for modern e-commerce workflows. It auto-publishes products without proper control, offers limited customization options, and makes the listing management unnecessarily complex. I expected a much more intuitive and flexible solution in 2025. Unfortunately, it's easier to work manually than through this app.
Do not hire Utkarsh and do not pay upfront for the yearly subscription. Very bad and unethical business practices — extremely unprofessional. I would not recommend hiring them for development work. I hired this company for Shopify development on October 10th, with Utkarsh in charge. They assured me they would upload all of my 2,500 products to Shopify. However, they pressured me to buy a $700 yearly subscription, promising faster results and using high-pressure sales tactics. They never provided a service agreement, which most reputable companies (like LitExtension or LitCommerce) do. After two months of work, they didn’t complete the project and kept asking for more time without ever giving me a clear deadline. Eventually, after four months of delays, they told me I would need to spend an extra $2,500 per month because of Shopify’s “limitations.” This was a huge expense they never mentioned upfront. If I had known, I wouldn’t have started the project. When I asked for a refund, they only gave me a small partial refund for the unused subscription — nothing for the incomplete development work. They kept extending the timeline and didn’t deliver as promised. If you’re considering working with them, be very cautious — especially if they ask you to buy a yearly plan. Make sure you get a clear deadline and a written refund agreement before paying anything. Overall, I found their practices to be misleading and unprofessional. I wouldn’t trust them with even a small project. There are better companies out there — I recommend choosing someone else. I have reported them to Federal Trade Commission and Better Business Bureau (BBB) with proof. You should report it to BBB so that they can be taken down if you face the same issue with their service.
STAY AWAY! The App works fine, but the customer support is unacceptable. I had to contact customer support multiple times, and every time is like hitting a wall... You start from the beginning every time, the agent promises something to you (which is not fulfilled), and when I contacted them again, it is like starting from the beginning. I worked with many vendors and never experienced such attitude. Find another app.
I strongly advise against using this app. The app never worked properly from the start. constant technical issues, poor synchronization, and unreliable support. I paid $171 for an annual plan, used it less than a month, and when I requested a refund, they refused. This is unacceptable and feels like a scam. Avoid this app and save yourself the frustration and lost money.
Awful experience not automatic at all
Horrible product that breaks all the time, I am having a lot of duplicate sales, my rep quit and now I am left with no contact information. This system is horrible do not use it. Worst product ever!!!!
DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY !!! I GOT NO BUSINESS FROM THEM AND THEY TOOK PAYMENT FOR A FULL YEAR BEING TOLD NUMEROUS TIMES THAT I DID NOT WANT SERVICE THEY STOLE MY MONEY !!!! I HAD BEEN FIGHTING THEM FOR 2 MONTHS !! I WISH I COULD GIVE NEGATIVE STARS

Avoid this app at all cost. Despite cancelling and uninstalling the app before the trial, they still charged the first billing cycle without any flexibility of offering a refund. Horrible experience and I urge all owners to stay away from them.
Ok until you want to cancel. Hands down the most frustrating experience ever. I decided I no longer needed the app and deleted it per CED instructions. They say that is how to end your account and stop billing. They billed me again anyway. When I saw it on my pending Shopify bill, I reached out to have the charge removed rather than pay for it and hope to get a refund. They would not remove the charge. I ended up paying and hoping to get a refund. This whole process wasted so much of my time.
Does not work with Etsy for order integration. No where is this stated until you sign up, link your store, and go through all the on-boarding processes. After that, and only then, do you see the message that order management is unavailable for US sellers across all integration service providers. Very frustrating to find this out only after going through all the hoops and work above.
Still charging a company for an annual subscription even after you stop selling on Etsy and can't use your app is not okay...hence the 1 star review. If you're signing up for this app, I suggest going month to month so you are not locked in and in our position of no refund.
The prices displayed are different from the correct ones. I wanted to test Etsy with the free plan including 200 products, but ultimately the plan only includes 10 products. It is impossible to test with 10 products... Also, when my simple description was published from Shopify to Etsy, it took all the source code and published it in the Etsy description. I had to redo all my descriptions, which defeats the thing's purpose from my point of view.
horrible service, unprofessional and there is no support while their app is down. BEWARE.
I hope you read this review before pulling the trigger with this app. Start from the bottom. Update 4/16/24 They promised me 2 months of free service and continuously have had excuses why it never came to fruition. They asked for a meeting which I agreed to at 8am. I received a response at nearly 9pm which I didn't see. So they shut off the service. and I got the following email: "Yes, let's connect at 8 AM EST. You got charged because we didn't have the meeting as I mentioned earlier and therefore I didn't cancelled the plan at that time. But now is cancelled." So now I have 100's of hours helping them sort out THEIR bugs and then they just cut it off. I'm moving on to another platform. Update 3/28/24 We had quite a bit of inventory updated in Shopify. Some items have 200 quantities available. I noticed that the quantities available on Etsy were all limited to 99. Etsy has a maximum quantity available of 999. I was told by CED that this is a limit of Etsy. Little do they know, I've been in application development for over 25 years. So I referenced the latest Etsy API docs (v3) and there is no limit as they would try to make me believe. Then I received this kind email from them ------- "As per Etsy's policies, the maximum inventory quantity allowed for a single item is 99. It's crucial to adhere to this limit to avoid any potential issues, including account suspension. To ensure compliance, our system automatically syncs inventory quantities to Etsy. If the inventory quantity exceeds 99 on Shopify, we cap it at 99 when syncing with Etsy. Subsequently, if an item is ordered and the inventory on Shopify drops below 99, the inventory on Etsy is adjusted accordingly" ------- 3 Hours later I received this email "After consulting with our team, we have decided to accommodate your request to send a maximum inventory of 999 items to Etsy. However, please note that implementing this change will require some time, approximately 3 to 4 business days." ------- I guess I'm special, not that they made a mistake in their programming. ---------------------------------- If you have a store with more than 1,000 products, I'd steer clear of this app. I have spent countless hours with their support team dealing with bugs. Here is a brief rundown: 1. Etsy doesn't require you to have SKUs for different quantities. The problem with CED is that instead of telling you there is a duplicate SKU, they arbitrarily create a SKU for you. This is a huge issue when you have a sale and the SKU is changed by CED. And if you have accounting software tied to Shopify, the problem is tripled. So let's say you have Item A and it comes in quantities of 1, 10, 25. You add a variation in Etsy for quantity and a drop-down box is presented for the buyer to select. When CED pulls in those variations and a SKU is not created in Etsy for each variation, they pull it in as individual items and arbitrarily create a random SKU. 2. I have over 4,000 products that had to be removed from Shopify, then manually removed from CED. I had to reimport all of the products and organize them in Shopify AGAIN. I was told that they wouldn't charge me for the month because of ALL THE PROBLEMS, but they did. When I

I was told that they wouldn't charge me for the month because of ALL THE PROBLEMS, but they did. When I emailed and asked about this, I got no reply. 3. When you update products in Shopify, you have to manually sync it with Etsy. There are two choices for this - Image or Price & Inventory. Which one includes the title and description? We'll never know. 4. Layering on to this problem, the app is in a constant state of sync. So even when sort the products by Date Modified it won't accurately show you the products you've updated in Shopify. This presents a real problem when you update 100s of products. Also, there is no sort by Updated in Shopify vs Updated in CED from Etsy. 5. Finally. Products that exist on Shopify and the app don't always connect in orders. Even when trying to link it, the product shows up but it throws an error when you attempt to link it. I'm just done.
