Some of the suppliers are great, however the ones that aren't can ruin your business! Beware! I sold two products from a shop on here and they shipped the WRONG product to the customer! I couldn't get through to anyone on email or phone and they never accepted the return so I am having to process it. I actually LOST money on this app. horrible. Shopify is NO help! I tried to contact them and there is only a bot that answers. Customer support is nonexistent unless you are a huge shop on Shopify Plus. Shame on Shopify for not helping retailers protect their store's reputation from horrible suppliers like this one!

The margins for pricing can't be changed and only benefit the vendor! I recently had a 300 sale and made $50 while the vendor made the rest. On top of that, the retailer pays shipping fees! I get they fulfill the order and it makes less work because you import the product however, you still have to spend a ton of time merchandising it into your shop, promoting it to customers and communicating to clients. Not sure I'll keep using it after being so discouraged my first sale.

- must be able to sort product status - must be able to resend invitations (resets every month) - must be able to bulk edit into collections - must be able to communicate with vendors via Shopify ***GET YOUR DEV TEAM WORKING ON THESE***

Shopify Collective is a good app if you want to complement your store with products from other stores, as it simplifies cross-store integration. However, the risk for retailers is often much higher than the actual benefits. Retailers can face chargebacks for mistakes made by suppliers, which feels unfair since these issues are outside of their control. Additionally, some suppliers offer very low margins—sometimes even less than what they’d pay out for referrals—making it difficult to justify the effort. Retailers also end up handling a large volume of customer inquiries and negative reviews caused by factors such as slow fulfillment and delayed dispatch, even though these problems originate directly from the suppliers. Overall, while the app has potential, the imbalance of responsibility between retailers and suppliers makes it a challenging tool to use profitably.

I love this app! Gives my store the option to sell just more than what I offer. What a great idea

I loved Collective at first and encouraged my vendors to get on board so I could sell their products through the app. They did! I hired a team to inactivate the same products I was selling to use the collective app and recreated PDPs with collective. I sold through the app for 6-7 months ONLY TO WAKE UP ONE MORNING to see hundreds of products being DEACTIVATED with NO WARNING and NO solution. I have a generic note that says my store is not eligible and doesnt comply with collective. WHAT???? Even shopify cant help. I have a great business and i dont even know what policy i am not complying with. This is a disaster and I DO NOT RECOMMEND FOR ANY BUSINESSES.

Love it! Easy to import and manage products and orders. The app keeps improving! Thanks for listening to our suggestions.

Signed up and was so excited to expand my range, but in UK and there is no way to actually find suppliers to connect with. Puzzled

The app looks promising, and I am very interested in using it. However, I seem to be ineligible based on Shopify’s criterion. I have spent hours trying to resolve the issue, but it was to no avail. Hopefully, it gets resolved in a timely manner.

Good. Would love the ability to sort imported products i.e. newest to oldest or low to high
