EXPLOREY review for Omnivore for Marketplaces

April 4, 2024

Setup for the integration between Trademe & Shopify. I sell on eBay but Omnivore is a lot more expensive than alternatives so I keep it to trademe. Omnivore is the only app offering an integration like this now Tradevine stopped their API however there are some issues: 1: Omnivore takes data from Shopify, not Trademe listings so all Trademe-specific data will be lost 2: No allowance for individual variant listings. These can only be grouped 3: No ability to have multiple product listings in different categories or different descriptions & titles - big downside results in SIGNIFICANT loss of sales 4: No ability to manage or answer questions 5: A big one - No website-based management area. Running multiple stores means we need to set up multiple apps in Shopify and to access Omnivore we need to login to Shopify and then access Omnivore for each store. Very time-consuming and sloppy 6: Difficult interface for managing listings 7: No feature to add question text across all listings or information on description pages (offered in Tradevine) 8: No integration-based refundability My guess is Omnivore looks at Trademe as a very small market and is focusing more on other markets. The upside is this is free software for the Trademe side of things and Trademe has basically no suitable solutions if you are a professional seller. If Omnivore made appropriate improvements this would be awesome software and I would be willing to pay for it
