Channable

I'm not a tech person so this has been a challenge to install. However, be patient with yourself as you try to learn and persist in reaching out to their customer support. It's taken a bit of work... but the amount of work Channable will save me setting up new puzzles on Amazon will be such a relief! Thanks to the developers and to Andrew in customer support for his patient support.

Solid application when it work but rather expensive. Feeds sometimes stop working and it takes them days to react to our messages. There‘s no proactive monitoring from their side. The damages are huge when feeds don‘t work for 48 hours because prices and quantities are not updated on markerplaces. The support is way too bad for the amount they charge for the subscription.

The app is definitely limited in some ways and takes a lot of time to get used to, but once ready it runs smoothly. We use it for Shopify and different marketplaces. The support of Channable is really good and they try to give you the best solution. Once there is a problem, it takes a lot of time to find a solution and usually there are a lot of headaches. Cheap regarding costs and smooth running if everything works but overall a very limited solution.

Alpine is tevreden met het gebruik van Channable. Met Channable kun je gemakkelijk product data bewerken, feeds maken en API koppelingen opzetten. De goede support is daarbij een dikke plus.

Great app with a lot of very useful integrations. Currently using it with Amazon, which is working great. The support team is very helpful.

Seit bald bereits einem Jahr nutzen wir Channable aktiv für unser Shopsystem. Besonders beeindruckend ist der hilfsbereite und reaktionsschnelle Kundensupport. Ob es um die Einrichtung von Feeds, die Integration mit verschiedenen Plattformen oder die Lösung spezifischer Herausforderungen geht, das Support-Team ist immer zur Stelle!

they solved a very specific problem creating a workaround. product is very good but so far support team was even better for us.

I've been using Channable for three clients, and I've gotta say, I'm a big fan. This app is a powerhouse, capable of so much that it does take a bit of time to really find your way around. But, here's the kicker – the support is top-notch. Seriously, the support team is exceptional, always ready to lend a hand with a smile. It's a level of service that a lot of other providers could really learn from.

Funktioniert einwandfrei, toller Support!

works well.

Hele fijne applicatie om je product catalogus aan te bieden op verschillende marktplaatsen. Channable zelf helpt je echt heel goed op weg om je eerste marktplaats kanaal op te zetten en met vragen hoef je niet lang te blijven zitten want die worden snel beantwoord. Daarna wordt er nog tijd vrijgemaakt voor een walk-through om alle informatie die je nodig hebt te laten zien. Ik had daarvoor een belafspraak met Saskia Hoekstra die mij dit allemaal heel duidelijk uitgelegd heeft! Wat mij betreft is Channable echt een aanrader!

What an amazing app! Best I found in the Shopify ecosystem to create a catalog feed for Google Shopping and Facebook/IG. Super easy to use and learn, and automates any data change I need for GS and FB. The support has also been quick and courteous. 100% recommend over the free plugins!

Channable has been great for us. I love the ability to customize our feed and individual products. Channable support is also amazing to work with, their team is very knowledgeable, quick, and helps us troubleshoot if an issue ever arises.

So far it has been very easy to use Channable as a feed manager, as soon as we have any inquiry or issue, we send an email to the support and we get a direct reply. One thing that is good is that when we get support from someone of Channable, all the communications until the problem is solved are kept with the same person (something that saves a lot of time updating the case status). The support bot though normally goes bad and only gives some tutorial links, but you need to understand that it is a "bot" and not a real interaction on the other side of the chat. The only thing I found a bit tricky is the price & plans, it would be nice to have something more customized to the client's needs, according to the dimension of the catalog and marketplaces. Thanks and regards!

Everything in channable is just so complicated and the help functions are at no help at all. The "bot" seems to misunderstand most issues, there are no live chat function, some help links does not work etc. etc. Channable leaves their customers alone with question mark after questionmark. When sending a mail to ask for more help, I got these messages quoted directly from the mail then send me: “we would not fix things for you” and “we expect customers to do the solutions themselves”. Note that you really need to be an IT expert to work with channable. What a disaster. Octopus Denmark

I'm very happy and impressed with how this app works and the friendly efficient support I have received. We have now successfully integrated with several marketplaces including Amazon. I was apprehensive initially after reading some mixed reviews and have been pleasantly surprised by Channable. The interface is intuitive and there is a good amount of resources you can access to help with the setup and it's pretty much a plug and play. What you need to know is that you need to set up each marketplace separately first, get an account etc and if you require the orders to sync through to shopify then you also need to purchase the order sync add-on which is an additional cost per marketplace. I then had a few things that didn't quite work as I wanted and the Channable customer support was on it very quickly. I had responses pretty much immediately and the team then went into my account and adjusted anything that needed to be done to get it to work how I wanted it including some custom tags that I wanted to come through to Shopify. Very happy with Channable and it does exactly the kind of Shopify marketplace integration and sync our business needs.

Channable has saved us so much time and stress. The Google API feed just doesn't work with the store the way it should, but Channable has made product submissions a breeze. The support is fantastic as well - I can't recommend this app and team more.

The Channable team has been very helpful onboarding my site & specific customizations that are not typical for most sites. Although we're still learning the platform you can tell immediately that it's user friendly and scalable as we continue to add more of our catalog onto Google, FB and Bing Shopping channels. Thanks for your help to the entire Channable team!

***UPDATE*** Channable's Tech Support reacted within hours and clarified in a DM, that the Hourly Update module is part of the Order Sync add-on module. That level of clarification I have not been able to distill from their page unfortunately and wasn't able to discover in the test account. In consequence I've updated the rating and added another star. ********************************************************************************** Having compared all relevant feed management tools in test account mode my feedback to Channable was first off ambivalent, however improved after their Tech Support clarified on important aspects. Channable offers a broad range of connections and the interface is quite intuitive, though a bit heavy. But everyone looking for this topic should be able to manage the level of complexity. Tested it and it took me less than 30 minutes to get a basic feed of ca. 300 product up and running. I have not activated any channel (test mode ends at that point), but if it is as easy as the above, time to market should be short. Please bear in mind you have to setup accounts and commercial agreements with any marketplace and price comparison sites you want to connect. That brings me to the pricing model, that offers different modules for different company sizes. I am looking at it with the eyes of a small shop that wants to scale distribution via marketplaces and comparison sites so for us "Small Business" and "Medium Business" would be relevant. In the smallest package with your website (1 language) and 500 products you're getting 3 connections to above mentioned third parties for 29€/M so ca. 350€/Y. The next (likely better) tier for small shops in growth hacking mode would be the Medium for 49€/M (588€/Y) allowing you to add 2 projects (so 1 shop in 2 languages or 2 shops in 1 language) with 6 channels. Fixed and transactional costs of third party channels e.g. Amazon would come on top depending on channel you want to connect. The packages include a one way product feed to the channels meaning your product information incl. price and stock levels are being sent to channels, however once an order is made this is not being fed back via an API to your system so orders won't bei integrated automatically, hence stock levels won't change. That is an Add-on called Order-Sync 49€/M (588€/Y), which you probably would want, as otherwise you would have to handle incoming orders from 3-6 channels (beyond 2 it's already a pain in peak season). So fair enough you've learned that you will probably pay something like 78-98 €/M or 936-1176 €/Y (not including fixed fees of third parties) to be in the channel management game, which is pretty much in the range of what you pay everywhere. What they don't tell you clearly enough on their page is, that will get an "Hourly update" of the feed included at that price level. An Addon that you normally have to pay for as the "free" alternative is only daily, which obviously is not an option at all. Imagine your stock levels being pushed to 6 channels/marketplaces are only updated once a day. So book your "Order Sync" module and you're fine! To sum up good tool with great functionalities and good value for money. For very small businesses I would rank Channable still a 3 out of 5 as I think the blank "Starter Package" is not alleviating the pains Small Business owners a going through.
