Shopify Marketplace Connect

Jan. 25, 2024

The journey of listing on Amazon has presented its fair share of challenges. Recalling my experience with the earlier iteration of this application, formerly known as Codisto, which I utilized a few years ago to synchronize my secondary store with Amazon and eBay, the initial setup was remarkably user-friendly. The Codisto team, in that version, efficiently handled the configuration for my store, simplifying the entire process. The convenience of a straightforward setup, coupled with a manageable monthly fee, made for a seamless experience. Their proactive assistance during the platform setup was genuinely valued. However, in the current version, the hands-on assistance that was once available has been replaced by a redirection to an extensive documentation resource. This transition places a higher demand on users to possess an advanced level of expertise to navigate and execute the setup successfully. Notably, the product listings exhibit notable shortcomings, including missing product photos and variants that fail to sync appropriately. This results in a confusing array of mixed-up images, where pictures from one item may mistakenly appear in an entirely unrelated product listing—such as finding ring images in a cushion listing, creating a perplexing and less-than-ideal situation. Despite persistent efforts to understand and resolve these issues, the support received for other concerns has proven less fruitful. It appears that the support team may not be actively seeking new users, potentially hindering a smoother onboarding process. A more collaborative approach from the support team, providing assistance with the setup, could significantly contribute to user satisfaction and overall business success. Streamlining the setup process has the potential to increase user adoption, fostering a more prosperous ecosystem where successful businesses generate better income, ultimately leading to the app's success.

We've come across a critical error with Amazon listings that the team here is having issues identifying and resolving. They have acknowledged the issues in their software. They are actively working on it, but the last issue we reported has gone unresolved after 2 months. We are starting to question the technical aptitude of the team, but if something changes, we will update this review.

This app SUCKS. When clicking install, goes NOWHERE and the page is blank. Tried 3 different browsers and still nothing! FIX your app or REMOVE IT from the Shopify app store!

Very bad support if you want to remove or update your products

Don't recommend. Tried connecting to a medium size ebay store and had several issues. The app was very slow to load. Product with variants wouldn't import from the ebay account with their full variant codes. I wanted to make no live changes to my ebay listings while I was getting this set up and turned off all syncing options, I told support this when I contacted them about the bug with the sku codes not showing up correctly. The agent that had no understanding of what the issue was, went round in circles about it and eventually deleted a listing without asking for permission first. Horrible experience. I had to spend several hours fixing the issues the agent caused on my ebay store. I deleted this app after that.

This is the worst app I have ever used. The Etsy connecting is mapping discontinued products and keeps listing them on Etsy. I cannot find any way to stop this from happening. I delete them, they come back. Uninstalling the whole thing. It is unusable.

DO NOT SWITCH FROM LEGACY CODISTO! It has been nothing but trouble for us for switching to 'new' Marketplace Connect. eBay integration is broken and will not allow you to sync your existing catalogue. I expected better features and support now that Shopify took over Codisto. It is however, downgraded significantly in both areas. The features no longer work. And the support is ridicule as the agents don't seem to have a clue.

Does not support variants at all. Just pushes the first variant of a product to a marketplace. Totally useless and a waste of time in my opinion. The customer support has been unhelpful and slow. I'm disappointed with the overall experience.

Worst customer service. A representitive name Noel lied and tried to gaslight me. We chose to do a price increase on Amazon in order to offset the Amazon fees. The app published the products in the original Shopify price. When I contacted customer service, they said tha the price the app sent was correct. I send them screenshot showing that the price was wrong. He wrote "One thing for sure is that the App sends the information/details to your Amazon Seller Central with the correct Prices. " That was a LIE as the screenshot shows it did not.

Was hopping that now this was part of the Shopify family the app would improve they never mind taking the subscription fees but it’s very slow at loading. It has problems with categories, pictures and barcodes sinking between eBay and shopify. Customer services are quick to answer but have limited knowledge so it then takes many conversations backwards and forwards and we are still waiting for issues to be resolved.

The app works very bad on amazon seller account, service havent solved the problems sync amazon orders. Bad experience and after 1 month I canceled the app.

Amazon works fine. If you try to connect Google market , they let you configure anything an after MANY hours of troubleshoots, youtube video, searching, they told me they do not support. They should just remove it. The agent who answered me just told me : no nothing we can do. Same thing for Walmart Canada.. They do not support. And if you are from Canada, you can not change the fulfillment center , you have to use Walmart US and manage with this. Bad to let people waste time on feature offered but not supported anymore

Since transitioning from Codisto to Marketplace Connect, we've encountered several issues with core functionality, including the inability to use HTML in descriptions, position photos, or fix variation pricing. This caused significant disruption, requiring 48 hours of downtime and 2 days to manually fix listing errors. While we appreciate the support team's acknowledgement of the issue, a faster resolution is crucial. We recommend prioritizing fixing these core functionalities and consider integrating with other listing management tools until stability improves. We hope Marketplace Connect can regain its potential as a valuable tool for eBay sellers

The Etsy integration has a lot of problems. I edited things directly on Etsy because there are many properties that can't be changed in the app. However, when it syncs, it just replaces everything I changed. If it was only a few changes overwritten, I could manage, but it's over half a dozen.

Worked fine for Ebay, won't connect to Walmart. We contacted tech support and they tried to get it working, but were unable to connect. Wasted a day trying to get this set up.

Barely works for Etsy. I can't speak to the other integrations because I only connected Etsy and had a bad experience. If your Etsy listings are exactly the same as your shopify products, this app will sync purchases. However, it will not sync any discounts that the customer applies on Etsy so it makes all analytics on Shopify useless. It also will not sync any personalization data from Etsy. I was able to do some matching using SKU, but it still didn't work great. If you complete the order on Etsy, it will not sync the data to Shopify. I could have made this work were it not for the discounts not being reflected, but after having contacted support several times with no solution, I have given up.

This app has been nothing but a headache. Support usually has no clue how to fix things, although they are usually very nice. It's unfortunate because this app is totally necessary if you sell on Walmart. It would be so simple to explain how to fix the app but seems there have been no upgrades on this app in forever. It's a pity. I wish someone that works at this app/company would actually fix it and make it work properly. EDIT – After several support attempts — the main issues with the app still persist. Want a custom product detail page for shopify—that's awesome! But NOT awesome if you realize that EVERYTHING SYNCS TO WALMART AND THERE IS ZERO CUSTOMIZATION.

Really poor quality customer service. It took months from the time I reported the problem to the investigation, and then they told me to contact shopify myself because the cause was due to the data values provided by shopify. Why don't they try to check with shopify themselves regarding the problem with their app, which is released as an official app on the shopify platform? And the glitch is not a small one, but a fatal one for the users that tracking information is not reflected to Etsy properly. I really can't believe it.

This app did not work. After troubleshooting for a week with multiple support agents, we weren't able to get the inventory to send over to Walmart Seller account. Also, you can't have different images over on Walmart from your Shopify images. I really wanted this app to work, but might need to go back to Sellbrite.

I have been given either untrue or false information on at least 8-10 occasions by various team members regarding my listings being uploaded to wal-mart.com. It seems that the vast majority of team members here either tell you what you want to hear and are either clueless as to what they are doing or just don't care. I will update this if this changes.
