Tough Mother review for Amazon by Codisto

1 / 5
Sept. 10, 2021

As a new Shopify requirement to integrate with Amazon, notwithstanding the fact that we have had zero integration problems and running quite smoothly for 2 years, we now have to pay a per transaction fee or flat percentage fee on all Amazon transactions. At best, if you have even one transaction over the "free 50," you're paying $.37 more for the same transaction you had two weeks ago, or $.19 each if you have a full 100 transactions. The best plan they have to offer requires an up front cost of $199/month for the lowest cost transaction fee of $.08. If you don't opt in to a plan, you can plan on spending 1% of sales to this app. WHAT?! This is a money grab, straight up. We already pay Amazon fees, and Shopify fees and credit card processing fees, and - perhaps the world has noticed that production, shipping and manufacturing costs have doubled for small business owners? Here's where this new requirement comes in - Codisto, in partnership with Amazon and Shopify, now wants their cut to handle the same transaction I just completed for free, with no complaints. No thanks. For folks that have limited sales capacity in-person and are transitioning to more of an online approach - you know the investment you've made to optimize, and to market and advertise. Guess who benefits from every transaction you have invested in moving forward? Yup. Codisto, whoever they are. Thanks for adding another requirement and fee structure to small businesses everywhere, Shopify - way to chip away at the little guy and add more stressors under the guise of optimization - to your benefit.
