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.

The app worked really well for us initially, but we ran into a major issue when all of our Etsy listings were suddenly deactivated without warning. It took four days of back-and-forth with support to finally be told it was due to a SKU-to-Etsy ID mapping issue — something we had never changed or touched ourselves. While the support team were polite and tried to help, the issue should have been escalated much sooner. We lost valuable time and sales while waiting for a proper explanation. In the end, we had to uninstall and reinstall the app just to get our listings live again. This experience was frustrating and stressful, especially for a small business relying on consistent visibility. If you're using the app, keep an eye on your listings and be aware that any sudden change might be related to hidden mapping settings or renewal of the app. A quicker response and clearer guidance would have made a big difference.

This app is broken. It keeps replacing my ebay listings with nonsensical titles and descriptions, removes the pictures and inserts subtitles that I get charged for. I uninstalled this app.

Diese App funktioniert bei mir nicht, egal welchen Browser ich verwende (Chrome, Safari oder Edge) Für mich leider nur Zeitverschwendung und kein nutzen. Ebay: Verbindung zu meinem Account konnte hergestellt werden, jedoch wurden meine Produkte nicht übernommen mit uneindeutigen Fehlermeldungen. Amazon: Hier hat die Verbindung zu meinem Account überhaupt nicht funktioniert. App wird jetzt gelöscht ...

Es ist ganz furchtbar mit dieser App. Seit Wochen klappt nichts und der Kundendienst hat mir falsche Empfehlungen gegeben, was mich viel Geld zum Einstellen, Löschen und erneut Einstellen bei Ebay gekostet hat. Nun habe ich einen Teil hochgeladen, aber es ist nicht synchronisiert und ich verkaufe die Artikel doppelt. Ich muss Bestellungen stornieren, mich entschuldigen und habe unzufriedene Kunden, die sich beschweren. Neu eingestellte Artikel kann ich nicht hochladen. Die "Fachabteilung" ist schon seit Wochen dran und ich werde immer nur vertröstet. Ich solle Geduld haben - aber es passiert gar nichts. Ich habe noch nie so eine katastrophale App gehabt und so einen unfähigen Kundendienst - wenn überhaupt wirklich jemand danach schaut.

didnt work for my listings as they were customized. I did say that in the beginning and was assured it would work. Then when i linked the listings it erased data from my etsy store, I had to remove the app and now my etsy listings are not allowing me to edit them. extremely disappointed, and potentially ruined my etsy store.

The most complicated app that even I got help from support kept selling items that are not available from our store. Glad to say goodbye.

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.

OMG what a disaster, trying to link with Etsy, does not work, very inconsistent, programmed by amateurs, have a look at the Faire sync app and learn a few things...

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.

Hidden fees, Trash business model to force paid subscriptions. Delete my data.

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

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.

Unfortunately this app doesn't work for medium sized sku counts, and and above. I have been trying for a few weeks to get the listing to synchronise from Shopify into the app, speaking with the support team, but this keep failing with various backend errors. There appears to be no initative to fix this or provide support - all I get is responses that say they can;t tell me when they will resolve this. This all seems pretty fundamentally lacking to me. I am afraid I cannot recommend a system that is this unreliable. We will have to use an alternative solution.

The recent update to "Marketplace connect" unfortunately has an unusable interface for my company, and we are forced to find another solution.

What's the point of this app if you own a store in Canada? Link it with Wal-Mart, Target, Ebay, Amazon, etc. in Canada! Nope, the services available on this crappy app are not available in Canada, and they have no time frame for that availability. Now you'll need search around on the craptacular app store to find an app that will give you the ability to sell on these platforms, forcing you to pay a middleman that literally just stands there opening and closing a gate. Thanks Shopify! you truly are the worst.

Update 1/24/25: I wish i could go negative stars, I have reached back out and now we are supposed to re add items that their team has removed in the file. To me they have no idea what they are talking about as we are just running in circles at this point. Each day is a new person that does not read the issues and we have to explain the issue again. At this point they are throwing crap on the wall to see if it sticks. I would stay for away from this app. Original: By far the worst app i have used. it's a 50/50 shot of even getting it to load. Filled with errors. 5+ hours with support and still at square one with them only saying "Walmart API Issues" Does not seem to have the accontability that needs to be there for a successful app. I would take positive reviews with a grain of salt and explore even paid options that might work better.

This app doesn't provide anywhere close to what you'd need to implement these integrations smoothly... Barely any proper mapping, import, or export tools for products. EDIT: In response to the below comment, I would gladly delete this review if I'm wrong. I have been back and forth with your support, and they have told me specifically "The Color and Size variations from Shopify won't sync" and "need to be manually entered". To expect users to manually enter data that already exists in Shopify is simply not using it as "the source of truth" as claimed. Variant options like color and size are critical for the apparel industry and are going to be required for virtually every marketplace integration and the data is literally already in Shopify, but the app won't map it.

It does not recognize the variants of each product. I've been figuring this out for a month now but it never gets corrected.
