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.

Had a few issues loading onto eBay, but the support via live chat was excellent - 10/10. One of the down sides with the app is that the slider panel on bulk edit is quite sensitive and not ideal when you use a track pad, as I do. It also can be quire slow to load. Howver, it has removed a lot of the faff that you'd normally have to deal with on eBay, so all in all, recommended.

It is not user friendly. I have been getting help from staff at Shopify Marketplace, but we can't fix the problems. I would like someone to connect with me who can solve the issues with connecting to Amazon

Pretty fantastic. Also, Mariel the support agent was really fast to help with a minor issue. BUT PLEASE ADD AUTOMATIC DEFAULT POLICY SELECTION!!! Hate having to always manually choose shipping policy.

Absolutely terrible. It didn't connect to eBay, ruining all my Google SEO rankings and Adwords. Disgusted by how bad this app is.

Die App ist sehr umfangreich und dennoch gut zu bedienen wenn man sich damit etwas länger beschäftigt. Was aber viel besser ist, ist der Support der ist A+++++.

They offer great support however the categories are quite confusing to setup and attributes are not exactly similar to Amazon. It would help if there was a detailed guide or info bullets. Also preset values would be of great help. You will need some assistance if you want to sync products to Amazon. The app does publishes faster than if you would directly publish on Amazon.

Unfortunately I have to give 1 star to raise awareness due to the fact this app, as some other users have mentioned, can result in sync issues with eBay. This is a major bug and in almost all cases will impact the business. We have not experienced any issues with Amazon, however, as such a major bug has been allowed to exist, this app cannot be trusted to not cause other issues down the line.

It's been over 2months Since I asked for help to get my listings synced to Amazon. It's unfortunate I wasn't able to get the help I needed and was told that this is a Self- Service app. Well, indeed. So we worked it out ourselves with some workaround and asked you guys to have my Amazon GTIN exemption enabled and you did, so thanks! Finally we were able to get our listings synced to Amazon. I would like to thank Jeff Avila who has been there for me from the time I needed an assistance, we know he did his part and we appreciate it all. Thanks Jeff!!

Was working OK,( the shopfiy makeover after they absorbed the app was a complete disaster ), but now our inventory is not syncing for days - we are now overselling 6-8 items on ebay everyday. They have been unable resolve the situation for several weeks now. We have to scramble to restock items, or refund purchases. Hours of our time wasted, and we look like amateurs who don't know how to run a business. And it is not cheap. Looking for alternatives.

Quick response from support. Easy, streamlined experience that saves a ton of time getting items listed and sync'd on multiple platforms.

I started using Shopify Marketplace Connect today, and to my surprise, it didn't work. But I contacted the support center, through live support, and Joy V gave me instructions that were easy to follow and solved all issues. Of course, the problem wasn't the app, but my lack of knowledge. So if you have doubts about using it to integrate into Amazon, don't worry anymore, stop looking, you found it. I tested more than 10 apps, and their support won me for life, and I'm not even a paid subscriber yet.

Short review: App is slow, buggy, and may lead to your eBay account being suspended. Detailed review: I hate to leave a 1 star review but need to express how frustrating our experience with Marketplace Connect support has been. We switched over to using this app months ago and got our eBay sync set up to our account we've been selling from since 1998. Our account is now on a warning to get the seller rating up due to all of the cancellations we've had to do since using this app. It has constant sync issues with our Shopify inventory. If we sell something in store? It may take days, if ever (seriously) for it to update on our eBay store. Naturally this leads to regularly overselling items. That's after you can get past the VERY slow UI on Marketplace Connect's end for setting things up. The Walmart connection is even slower to navigate, but at least, so far, that sync is stable. To their credit, they have improved the navigation on the eBay side some since we started using it, and I suspect a large part of their issue is that they just are not optimized for stores such as ours with hundreds of thousands of SKU's. We've regularly provided support with updates on oversells and sync issues. They are always very fast to respond (kudos to the 1st level support group!). But they never have answers. We have zero communication from them other than when we send over a new example. No updates what-so-ever. After months. So when we do ask for an update on the underlying issue, 1st level support says the ticket is still with the engineering team and there is no further update to provide. I feel like we've given support ample time to fix their issues, or at least *COMMUNICATE* with us on a regular basis to know what to expect. We've had to put our eBay account into vacation mode at this point and seek alternative options.

I just added a couple of my products to Ebay. Needed a little help from support and they were great dealing with me. I am just so not tech savvy, so if I can do it with no tears, this is a perfect app for everyone/anyone wanting products on Ebay. Very happy! Bring on the orders I say!!!!
