Shopify Collective: Supplier
All reviews
This has been enjoyable experience with providing our retail partners an opportunity to share Godly Granny products on their platforms and sites.
This sales channel is terrible, and so is the Collective app. In the app, the tags and metafields on the products that get shared with you, don't come through. So I have to add some kind of categorization MYSELF, on someone else's items, which is ridiculous when there are hundreds or thousands of items shared over. Also, in the Collective sales channel, when selecting products to share, the search can't be done by sku. It also can't be done by whether the item is active or draft and whether it has inventory or is at zero. The other HUGE issue in the Collective app is that if you elect to have items shared with you in Draft status, even if you put them in Active status, every time the other supplier updates their item, it comes back through as Draft. So then you have to figure that out and reactivate them. Which means I'm now babysitting another supplier's whole catalog, on top of my own. And a Shopify Flow doesn't work, because there are some items we don't want automatically turned back to Active. Please Shopify, make this whole concept easier to use!!
Does not take into account product that is not in stock (the sell while not in stock option is not on for the product in question.)
Shipping options need to be fixed! The shipping payments CAN NOT be calculated based on what the retailer website charges or does not charge for shipping to an end consumer because those rules are based on end user pricing rules, whereas all things on Collective are based on WHOLESALE rules! Therefore different shipping rules need to be coded within Collective to allow all of us to set such rules otherwise we have to do 'manual', and that defeats the entire purpose of Collective in taking the 'work' out of suppliers and retailers.
