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.

Avoid like your business depends on it. I don't like leaving negative reviews, ever, but this app has been nothing but trouble. It didn't sync my products with eBay properly, which was sorted after dealing with their support team. But then, without warning or a notification, it overrode my shipping information TWICE, even after I added them to the app AND eBay, leading to customers getting free delivery for large parcels where they shouldn't have (with my business covering the costs and therefore losing money on the sales). When speaking to support, they essentially blamed me, saying I didn't input info correctly - not sure why I'd manually select ~20 of 250 products to have shipping costs, rather than ticking "select all"... They oversold one of my products, (it was out of stock on my website, but it was sold on eBay anyway) which I had to source with no notice so I didn't let down a new customer. The fees are not clear and certain members of the support team were rude and extremely unhelpful, when I tried to resolve the issues and move forwards. Worst of all, they refused to reimburse any of the additional costs I'd incurred and blamed me for the issues I faced. I've spent so long on this app and these issues, it would have been easier, less stress & less cost to my small business if I'd manually uploaded everything to eBay - which I will be doing from now on. Avoid.

Another application that's absolutely useless! One question: How do you manage to come up with applications that serve no purpose? You're very good at it...

The process to list on Amazon is very difficult and this app and its support definitely help make the process much easier!

The app is very useful and has streamlined the process of uploading items to Walmart.com. The app does have some hiccups and new issues every now and then, mainly when Walmart.com has new listing updates and requirements. The support is very fast. Joy B was especially helpful. Joy B gets five stars! If you ever have issues and need support ask for Joy B.

First off the customer service is top notch. While I was learning how to use this app they have been nothing but helpful and patient with answering my questions. I also mistakenly caused an issue with my ebay template. Chloe took the time along with Ediline to figure it out and correct my issue. A+ all the way support. I also tried a few other inventory management apps and chose Marketplace Connect as being better than the rest for my store. It's been the solution i needed all along and look forward to the growth of my store because of it. Thank you!

So far so good. I had a few teething problems inititially and kept getting an error with pricing that Support helped me with quickly. I do wish I could hide a few more of the irrelevant columns but that's really a minor detail of convenience.

The app simply does not work anymore. Since their latest update none of my listings from shopify can be listed on Amazon. None of the settings or mapped fields have changed. Just an endless list of error codes. I have contacted support who suggest I manually import all my listings on seller central which is exactly what I am trying to avoid. They admit that the app won't upload products, say they are working on it but cannot give any timescale for a solution. The support staff are very helpful, although that doesn't do much good if the product doesn't work. The most annoying thing is it worked perfectly before the 'update' After a call with support I was assured daily updates, unsurprisingly that hasn't materialised and I am left chasing for any update at all. In short the support staff are great, the product seems to be useless

As others have noted in their reviews, this app's functionality has significantly declined since Shopify acquired Codisto. The app overrides your existing eBay or Etsy data, which can damage your store and even lead to policy violations that may result in a suspension. The support and development teams work closely together in the same office, yet they present themselves as if they operate from multiple locations and departments. This creates a false impression that resolving issues will take a long time. The support team consistently refuses to acknowledge problems with their application, instead blaming platforms like Etsy, Amazon, or eBay for any issues. We also use other apps without experiencing problems, which we find depend on our clients’ preferences and budgets. Lastly, I would advise caution when believing everything they say. There are online threads that highlight deceptive tactics they use to discourage users from uninstalling the app or leaving negative reviews.

You'll be told that their connections working fine until you start facing show-stopper errors. You'll also be told that you'll always have 24/7 live-agent chat support until you do NOT. Here we are 2 days in a row trying their live-chat and there are NO live agents at all. And they aren't responding on the 'submit message' emails for now two days. We did not expect such unprofessional treatment from Shopify.

Service/response from support team is extremely slow. Planning to move my services to other paid integration partners.

Etsy, Amazon, Ebay – non of it worked. Amazon gives an error. Etsy sync doesn't work properly and if you have over 400 listings it gets extreemely messy and impossible to set up (+with unsolvable errors here and there). Ebay – just forget about this mess with loads of errors. On top of that – it let's you sell only 50 products. This app doesn't worth the hustle.

I recently had the pleasure of chatting with Joy V from Marketplace Connect support, and I must say, the experience was fantastic! Joy was incredibly helpful and attentive, guiding me through the process of resolving a listing status error for my linked products. From the moment I started the chat, Joy was quick to understand my issue and provided clear instructions on how to fix it. They took the time to check my account and even resubmitted the price value to Amazon, which cleared the error promptly. Joy's knowledge and efficiency made the process smooth and stress-free. What impressed me the most was Joy's patience and willingness to assist with all my queries, even when I needed to check multiple SKUs. They provided valuable insights on how to ensure my products were linked correctly and offered helpful resources for future reference. Overall, Joy V's support was exceptional, and I truly appreciate the assistance I received. I would highly recommend Marketplace Connect support to anyone facing similar issues. Thank you, Joy, for your outstanding service!

Jeff Avila provided outstanding support in helping me unlink the rest of my products on Amazon. He was attentive, knowledgeable, and incredibly efficient, ensuring everything was resolved seamlessly. Jeff's professionalism and willingness to go the extra mile truly made a difference. I deeply appreciate his assistance and highly recommend him to anyone in need of expert help!

The app can get extremely frustrating due to constraints when linking the Shopify catalog with existing listings on Ebay/Amazon. It leaves too much room for error, and the process to correct it is so complicated. This app isn't very user-friendly. The instructions are incomplete. The support is really hit or miss. Sometimes it's great, and sometimes it's downright infuriating and the person either doesn't understand the problem or is just trying to close the case without actually listening.

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.

Its the reason why I left Big Commerce to follow this app to Shopify. Its so easy to use and and simple intuitive bit like using an Excel Spreadsheet for an idiot. So simple to all the other systems I have tried. Cant recommend enough
