Bag List review for AirPower
Dec. 2, 2024
Not Powerful. I agree with the other reviewers; it works but if there were another app, I'd switch. Pros: nice way to manage inventory with tons of parameters. Shopify admin UI isn't built for bulk editing. This is. Fairly elegant and dynamic solution. Customer service is fairly responsive though slow (days), and their best-fit customer is definitely someone tech savvy and capable of problem solving on their own. Cons: Extremely slow sync, unusable if overloaded - the dashboard will not even load. Come back tomorrow and hope for the best. And if you want to be able to segment your sync to avoid this, you have to pay EXTRA! Even at 200 products, with metafields and images in the mix the sync is 30 mins+ every time. Troubleshooting is rather impossible at that cadence. Unlike other apps, Airpower is not really forward looking or frequently updated with the latest Shopify options. Development seems passive. I've been a customer for years and am looking forward to finding an alternative.
Hi there, and thank you for the feedback. Our sync from Airtable to Shopify syncs data as fast as Shopify allows. Shopify has a limit of how much data you can send it, and this limit varies with the Shopify plan your store is on. The servers running our sync are very powerful and feed Shopify with data as fast as it will ingest it. Also, we don't know which data in Airtable has been updated and which has not. For this reason a lot of our users use an Airtable view for their tables to tell us exactly which rows we need to sync. So that we don't waste time syncing data that hasn't changed.
