Cin7 Core

Aug. 6, 2025

Buyer beware! We've been using Cin7 (formerly DEAR Systems) since 2022. Since being bought out, the cost of our subscription just increases with impunity. You think you're signing up at one price, but you're not. And the prices will continue to rise every year. I've been using Shopify since 2012, and no other third-party app has acted in this manner. Not to mention, since using DEAR/Cin 7, our team has had to spend hundreds upon hundreds of hours troubleshooting issues and opening support requests to fix features advertised that simply did not work as intended. A poor overall experience and bad business practices from this company.

tl/dr, we have a serious yet seemingly easy issue to fix. Support is in india (we think) and it has been impossible to fix our issue since cin7 was installed over a year ago. It has never worked for us. ----- We have been having a desperate time with cin7 core. We far preferred OrderHive which worked for us. Dear Systems bought OrderHive and shut it down, and we found ourselves talked into moving to cin7. Our core problem which nobody seems to be able to fix is that, despite the myriad of settings and options, it appears to be impossible for cin7 to partially fulfil an order that contains items items we fulfill and items marked as Drop-Shipped. Regardless of what we do, when we ship the items we are responsible for shipping out of our warehouse, cin7 communicates back to shopify that all items in the order have now been shipped, inclusive of the drop ship items. In reality, the we have a separate integration with shopify to Inventory-source which handles our dropshipping. We want cin7 to leave the drop-shipped items alone. We have been operating with our integration with shopify disabled and we have been manually marking our shipments partially fulfilled in shopify and actually cut n pasting tracking numbers. Its been a total nightmare and we cant wait to get off this product. Its now been over a year. We have been going back and forth with support in India (there appears to be nobody local). We have demonstrated the problem numerous times. There appears to be nobody local in the USA to help. I am posting this here in the hopes that someone higher up in cin7 will FINALLY listen to us and help us with this issue. If they do I will edit this review.

The onboarding help has been great. We migrated from Orderhive and Atulya went above and beyond to reduce the pain from migrating. She was very patient and helpful getting us up and running. We're still getting up to speed as Core has different functionality. In some cases more robust than Orderhive however there are some things in Orderhive , like one central place of truth for product information (eg prices) that pushes to all 3rd parties.

App is ok and does the essential functions of inventory management. Has lots of integrations. Its quite expensive though for an SME with a lot of tools that aren't necessary and the interface can be a little complex to work with. Support also need a bit of pushing to get to the heart of issues and responses can be poor at times. Reporting module needs some work.

I was using Orderhive for order management. Cin7 is a much better program with more features. My onboarding experience was great. They really take the time to make sure everything works right before moving to the new program. I would recommend!
