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.

This app has given us nothing but countless hours of extra work. Slow to use and not intuitive at all.

MarkL truly made my day. As a newcomer to Marketplace Connect, I had no clue how to list products. Mark was incredibly helpful, guiding me through the platform and assisting me in listing my first product. It's a fantastic platform with excellent customer support. I highly recommend this app.

This app is unpredictable and support is spotty. They are clearly still developing this app. I have been using it since November for Ebay and Etsy and the app nearly caused my etsy shop to be suspended with the recent developments they made to it. It was resetting my supply listings to claiming they are handmade, by me, recently. This is a HUGE violation of etsy's number 1 policy and led to them removing 2 listings in the past month of raw materials I sell for crafts. This caused Etsy to also remove my star seller status and they are threatening suspension of my shop. As of this moment there is no way to correct this on the app in settings. I always choose "ALL etsy rules" and the app was still behaving this way. I audited my entire shop of nearly 2000 listings, manually, going through the listings one by one, about 5 times in the past 8 months correcting these mistakes, as well as repopulating the SEO tags the app removes from Etsy. Interestingly, these mistakes are pretty random and unpredictable and effected about 75% of my listings with no rhyme nor reason. There are also issues with the formatting of descriptions, so, as a workaround, the past 8 months I was forced to listing everything separately on etsy and then link the listings- which is also difficult because the app is unable to show a thumbnail of the etsy listing when linking, leaving lots of room for human error. It also does not correctly show shipping details the buyer choses at checkout when pushing the order through to Etsy- like it wont tell you the buyer chose Priority mail, if they did, once the order gets pushed through to Shopify. I am still using the Ebay connect, but there are also issues there regarding item specifics. The app creates duplicate policies on ebay with a sku at the end and when I contacted support about this they denied the app is doing that. I have no reason to create duplicate policies with a sku and no listings attached to them. The app also deleted all the item specifics I had on ebay and there is no workaround for that in the app, other then entering them all again on the app itself, which doesnt include all the specifics Ebay is asking for, especially regarding jewelry. It also removed variants from 5 of my tumbled stone listings (of which I have nearly 200 working just fine with their variants) and have been trying to work with support on this issue for over a MONTH with no fix in sight other than random pulling at straws- seriously some of the most asinine "ideas", like changing the variation name, or the category, or the title, which doesn't make sense as I have 200 other listings, listed exactly the same way, in the same category, and they are integrated and working just fine. I am going to try waiting it out a little longer with the Ebay connect side in hopes that these issues will be straightened out, but I do know theres another great app out there, the one I was using before trying Marketplace connect, that I will be returning to if this doesn't get sorted out soon.

If you are looking to sync with Amazon, it is decent, and you will need to connect with customer service. They are very helpful with Amazon. However, if you need to connect with Etsy, customer service does not have a clue. They send you pages to read, but in reality, it does not work. I have already spent 7 days contacting customer service morning and night (by the way, they do not work on weekends) and still have no solution. Only 2 items have synced, but using the same settings doesn't work for others. Please fix the issue with Etsy and improve customer service .

Quite frankly one of the worst marketplace management tools I have ever used. The support have been terrible over a vital issue where the orders have been coming through to shopify at £0 and this has had a massive knock on effect on our accounting. The support keep saying they are on it, but it has been a week. Now we are getting other random issues where the orders are selling at the GBP number in AUD. So if a product was £100 it has been sold on AUS overnight at $100AUD. This is half!!!! So far the impact is £3k of sales which should have been sold at abouyt £6k and the issues keep continuing. We have had no proper support and since the migration from Codisto things have gone from bad to worse. The knock on impact of this is going to be 5 figures at this rate. Simply not good enough, dealing with people who simply dont care about small business. As long as their job is ok though hey?

DO NOT USE THIS APP. We have had constant issues with this app and most recently with orders pulling through with a zero value on eBay and Amazon. Their support team have been absolutley awful and unhelpful. After contacting their support I was reassuraed the issue would be escalated but the support team have now just stopped resonding to me. After contacting support again I was told there was nothing they could do and I would have to wait (even through they've stopped responding to me) after then immediatley ending the chat. This has become a major accounting and shipping issue! Where international orders have a zero value for the shipping, it means we have to manually enter a value in our shipping software in order to ship out orders. It has further caused a significant accounting problem as Shopify is reporting a zero value for the orders meaning it's severely affecting all of our reporting and margins. If you want a smooth and easy process for your eBay and Amazon orders I would strongly recommend that you do not use this app!!

It doesn't work properly. I have connected my Shopify with eBay account and some of the items on Shopify have sold out but they are still showing as available on eBay. I have deactivated an item on Shopify and manually removed it from eBay as it did not get removed automatically and it kept getting re-listed for some reason so I had to keep removing it until I was forced to permanently remove the listing from Shopify to stop it from being re-listed on eBay

This app has saved me hours of my time by simplifying the process of listing from Shopify to eBay. Also, the response from support is excellent!

Great support, the sync with Amazon orders could have a bit of delay so it is helpful to have a team ready to help!

Works fine for ebay but not Amazon. I've been put through the wringer with this company and have been with them for 12 months so it's not a knee jerk reaction but MarketPlace Connect simply does not do what it says. I keep being told developers are looking into it but it's not solved. I don't believe they have the technical skills because simple listings do not sync with Amazon and are stuck in publishing mode. I've waited 2 months for this to be sorted but run out of patience. I absolutely do not recommend this app for Amazon syncing.

Had to migrate over to connect after codisto was discontinued. The negative reviews were spot on. My steady Amazon sales are gone. Most of my listings went to error and are now inactive. It's a complete guessing game how to correct. Hours with chat and on phone with Customer service. Got brushed off by service tech. Said I needed to escalate my issue to another department and I would be contacted via email and call within 24 hours. Neither happened. Marketplace Connect is not easy and not for people without extensive training. Even the Techs at Connect can't get my Shopify listings to connect to Amazon

Brilliant App opening up additional markets and increasing revenue. Carlos was amazing (and very patient) helping me get my first item listed on Ebay. Not once did he blame it on user error when it very clearly was :)

I had an issue, and Joy from customer service helped me out instantly. This is a big thumbs up for help and the app works great. The response time was incredibly fast, and Joy was both professional and friendly. The app itself is user-friendly and performs exceptionally well. excellent customer support and the seamless functionality of the app. Five stars all around!

Be careful, this app doesn’t restock items after order cancellation. With each cancellation, you’ll accumulate physical stock that won’t be reflected on the website. We are increasingly considering making something else the primary source of inventory instead of Shopify, as it has too many inconveniences.

Outstanding customer service provided during online Chat help!!, Person that assisted me (Joy V) was very knowledgeable and quickly resolved my issue. I was impressed with how quickly someone assisted me especially really late at night. Thanks so much for the assistance!!

After investigation we found out that our inventory with Amazon is not sync correctly. Contacted support and they said that they only update inventory when Shopify have quantity updated, but if order placed on Amazon directly then they don't update quantity on Shopify unless you turn on order sync as well. Now we have to process inventory count to fix quantity that wasn't updated, and it's hours of work.
