Cin7 Core

Feb. 6, 2026

Becareful here, We Have been using the Cin7 Platform for years and moved to the Cin7 Core platform from Omni last year. Their shopify app is a disaster. -Randomly orders will pull through Blank into Cin7. - Stock Just disconnects when it says it is connected. -This leads to incorrect stock values. - Bom Stock does not work, So if you have a Coffee Table with a base and a Top, this cannot be synced as a finished product. Cin7 Just recently updated their Knowledgebase (Which is incorrect most of the time to now say you cannot sync these) Their fix is to turn on auto assembly which then breaks the WMS functionality completely. We have been told to now create our own Custom API. - We pay $149 a month for premium support of which they do not respond. We have tickets open for months at a time, every time they just say they need to escalate the Problem. - We have asked to cancel our premium support and were told this "Thank you for reaching out to us. We are sorry to hear you are facing issue with your premium subscription. Please note that your ticket needs the attention of a specialist team. It may take a few days to get back to you. If your need is more urgent, please reply and let us know. Thank you for your patience while we get this looked into for you. Kind regards, Bushra M" When you finally speak to some one over a few mails - Namely Phil they ask a few questions, then request access to your system and go silent for weeks if not months. Their system Eventually just closes the support ticket. Currently we Paying Cin7 close to $5000 a month with no help sorting out their Own system issues. Onboarding with Cin7 Core was a bit of a Joke, we had been using Cin7 Omni for years however the "Onboarding Specialist" was completely untrained and her knowledge of the system was basic at best. Becareful if you are looking at Cin7, We have Coders and experienced IT/ Business people who have used their systems for years. There are problems within this institution which I dont believe the Directors are aware of nor some of their customers until it will be to late.

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!

I like that I can integrate my sales channels (Etsy and Shopify - Amazon is an option too, but I opted not to integrate it to save money) and input manual orders in one place to keep track of orders, inventory, shipments, and payments. I used their previous product OrderHive, so it is all fairly intuitive to use, and they provided great onboarding and setup. I was paired with Muskan as my Onboarding Specialist, and she was very patient, knowledgeable, and helpful in getting me setup.

I love Cin7 , it's such a great software to track my inventory, my sales, my stock transfers, my cogs... full of reports ... very flexible tools, with a lot of integrated API connexion like Shopify and the customer service is amazing !

Recently after the merger with Cin7 (previously dear system), the support and issues have increased. We have a major bug in product integration for last 5 weeks and still waiting for resolution. For them it is not a priority and no proper work around provided. Not sure if this is faced by any other customers. No escalation channel, no account manager support. We are a customer for last 3 years but now looking for replacement.

Stay away. Invested in help in set up but cant get any help from CIN 7. Cant even contact support, waiting on replies on tickets. No phone number, no easy way to chat. Person initially helping disappears as soon as one subscribes. Overly complicated. Already searching for replacement

Thanks Raed for excellent customer service! He helped me step by step to understand the process and was very patient with me.

It allows you to monitor inventory more easily. It also integrates very well with Xero. The support team was very accommodating and helpful with their knowledge of the app, even though we encountered some issues. The downsides for me are: 1. Having to use the Messenger app for support. 2. if you allocate a credit note to a supplier invoice on Xero it won't sync to DEAR. 3. It doesn't push changes to a Shopify order across to DEAR.

Very useful in integrating sales from Shopify to other accounting software. Also makes inventory monitoring easier. We encountered some issues though but the support is very accommodating and helpful with their knowledge of the app.

Better than Tradegecko that we were using before. I like the ease of use. However, I think the extra $50 per additional user is too steep, and DEAR also charges ala carte per integration with 3rd party application too. This is both good and bad. You just need to evaluate your cost structure before you sign up. Overall, I would recommend it.

Dear is a great cloud-based ERP option. Affordable, solid customer support, straightforward but robust!

New to DEAR so early days yet. The onboarding service was great, really happy with the service provided. A couple of glitches but generally a positive experience. Been up & running for week now & couple of things could be better/simpler particularly around importing data for sales orders. But for an off the shelve program its ok. But based on service to date I'm going 4 stars!

We have looked at a lot of inventory management systems and migrated from Tradegecko to DEAR. Extremely impressed with the product and system. It has a lot of manufacturing features that we do not use however for tracking purchase orders, bundles, composite products it is excellent. It is easy to duplicate products to quickly add or CSV can be imported. There is never going to be the perfect IMS for everyones business processes but this covers most of ours. We have suggested some improvments regarding batch actions via the web interface. Overall can recommend, no problems syncing with Shopify.

I used to be major fan of this software. Our company has been using it since 2016. Since the company has been acquired by Cin7 support has really declined. We've had a critical support case open for 3 weeks and it is still not resolved. I have been unable to talk to a human. I keep getting fobbed off with "the technical team is working on it" "our technical director will call you" "the fix will be rolled out over the weekend". All I want to do is talk to a human. I've asked every time to speak to someone about the issue. Nobody is talking. We pay 8K per year for the software. I used to recommend DEAR to many colleagues in the e-commerce space as a leading solution. However, this incident has left me really disillusioned with the company. If it was a minor issue I could understand a ticket taking 3 weeks to resolve but this has been a catastrophic meltdown of our Amazon integration in 4 countries. We have 69,000 notifications of sales data that can't be reconciled. I would not recommend DEAR inventory. Heather Cole Country Trading Co. Founder

We worked with them for the last 5 years and they had a good customer service. Now after a week from the first support request, they are still unable to update stock level on Shopify, and apparently the best they can do is writing you back once a day at the end of the day, and not sorting the problem yet. BAD customer service. We are losing sales because of this. Stock level is not updated and we have constant overselling that we cannot fulfil. Can you please URGENTLY fix this problem?

We're paying thousands of dollars a month for broken functionality promised by the platform. Every month a critical fix for their native Hubspot integration is promised but never delivered. We strongly suggest merchants look elsewhere. Counting stock by hand would be more effective than using DEAR Inventory.
