What Merchants Think

The "Shopify Marketplace Connect" app has received mixed reviews from its users. While some merchants appreciate the app's ability to streamline operations by connecting Shopify with various marketplaces like eBay, Amazon, and Etsy, others express frustration due to the app's instability, bugs, and poor customer support. The app's usefulness varies significantly among different users depending on their business size, technical proficiency, and specific needs.

Key Strengths

  • Effective in syncing orders and inventory across multiple sales channels.
  • User-friendly for basic functionalities once initial setup is complete.
  • Highly praised customer service – quick response times and live chat support noted.
  • Great integration specifically for eBay users.
  • Provides features that allow for streamlined product listings and management.

Common Concerns

  • Numerous bugs and technical issues, particularly with Etsy and Amazon integrations.
  • Poor responsiveness and problem-solving from customer support reported by some users.
  • Difficulty in managing large inventories and SKUs, leading to sync errors.
  • Security concerns regarding integration with Walmart and handling of API key pairs.
  • Unintuitive user interface, leading to a steep learning curve for new users.

Final Thoughts

Overall, "Shopify Marketplace Connect" is a potentially powerful tool for small to medium-sized merchants looking to manage multiple sales channels from one platform. Despite its advantages, the app has significant drawbacks, with many users experiencing technical glitches and needing extensive customer support. For businesses with complex inventory needs or requiring solid reliability, it may be beneficial to consider alternative solutions or ensure that contingency plans are in place for unexpected issues.

Support is just awful. Since they were acquired by Shopify they blame everything on Shopify and close the case while acting rude. Then you have to reach out to Shopify support who are friendly and helpful, and confirm that it's a Marketplace Connect problem. Then you have to reach back out to MC with a case number from Shopify before they'll do anything. Marketplace Connect has a lot of bugs and is lacking in a lot of really basic features. Doesn't feel like the engineers really know how their customers are using the tool. We pay almost $100/mo in charges yet it has less features than alternatives like Veeqo which is free. In fact, Veeqo will offer 5% back on any shipping labels purchased, and can predict how many units you need to re-order based on previous sales. I just can't understand why anyone would still use this app when the Marketplace Connect team cares so little about it themselves.

Really wanted to use this app, reading the reviews everything appeared to be positive about it. Connected ETSY as wanted to start small, had an issue which Josh advised on swiftly. This was followed by another issue whereby products were not syncing, spoke with Josh on the live chat and he walked me through the set up. All appeared to work and the information went from shopify to ETSY fine, did a test order and it didn't work. Spoke to Live chat who said there had been a policy change (must have happened in the few hours between the morning and afternoon) this was now effecting orders from ETSY and i was best to carry on using ETSY directly as there was no timescale. Sadly i wanted to get ETSY sorted before moving on the Amazon and EBAY so for the time being i have disconnected the account and removed the app Hopefully it will work in the future but dont want to risk messing up ebay and amazon

Not worth it. The amount of time I spend talking with support because it's so buggy fully negates the benefits. I wish I'd just set each marketplace up seperately for all the issues that would have given me than using this terrible app.

Great product and great customer service. I have noticed that their only limitations tend to fall in line with the limits of the platforms they integrate. They are much better than our past integrator for Amazon! Customer service tends to have a good knowledge base and replies back within a reasonable time.

This app works somewhat well for eBay but it's absolutely awful for Etsy. There's a ton of errors, missing categories, and unmapped fields. It's incredibly slow and unresponsive. A real pain to use. A ton of work needs to be done to get the data to behave properly and the data sync is very slow.

After the first sync on tracking number failed, you can't re-sync. And there fore you lose that order and penalty on you. Support is very bad and not willing to solve the problem. They only advise to change tracking and fulfill again, which I did. But they can't do anything about it. A very bad app and support, be aware

I am really enjoying using this app - it has made dispatching and tracking inventory between Shopify and Etsy much easier, plus customer support is always very fast and helpful.

Update: The support helped me a lot and was very patient with me. It seems they could fix the problem and did lot of manual changes for me so I don’t need to do. I changed the star rates therefore. Bulk orders dont work. Some tags I can set, other not. Support can´t give a solution. So I need to check every change I made in see if it works. Manually. And for half of the products I still didnt figure out how to bulk order easy things like tags. I need to configure this manually on the marketplace... annoying.

Straight Forward Connector app that allows you to connect amazon, Etsy, Walmart, and more. The support team is active and very helpful.

Be Aware of malicious activities. they gained access to our account and changed product prices causing us to sell a lot of units at a very low price, which had a negative profit, and we lost money. They also tried to change our bank account details to steal our money. we reported this app to Amazon and asked to remove authorization. if you read this review, please don't make the mistake of authorizing access to this app on Amazon, it was the worst decision we made. We could have lost complete access to our Amazon account. fortunately, only lost a few products instead of the whole account.

App. poco pratica interfaccia confusionale, la traduzione in lingua italiana ha funzionato fino ad ora e solo per quanto riguarda il menù e le impostazioni per quanto riguarda la pagina di modifica di un'inserzione a caso la lingua è stata sempre in inglese, ma adesso tutta l'app è solo in lingua inglese, la sincronizzazione degli ordini non sempre funziona per quanto riguarda la spedizione soprattutto per chi usa ebay spedizioni!

a very inconsistent app. doesnt consistently download and sync listings, doesn't match 100percent of the time. Doesn't carry through prices completely.
