Reviews for Shopify Marketplace Connect

Been using this for a few weeks. This is an extremely frustrating app to use. Horrible interface. Everything is messed up. Maybe it is because I have 3 to 4 thousand SKUs but this app is a brick. Nothing transfers properly. Too many mistakes. Doesn't flow properly. So far pretty bad experience. Maybe needs a few months. But this is a terrible waste of time. Pricing is messed up on walmart site. Products supposed to go for 7.99$ are being sold in 10 packs for 7.99$ Should be 79.99$??? Extremely Frustrated. Coming back a few weeks later to edit my review. My Review stays the same, but maybe even worse. Keep getting orders through walmart, and the problem keeps compounding. Walmart is taking a SKU for a single item and putting it to a listing of 10 packs. Customer only paying for a single item. Nobody is able to help.

App werkt goed en de support afdeling antwoord erg snel.

great customer service

Super valuable app and great support!

Mark was very informative and helpful. He provided excellent service and hope to get him again when I need help.

Jason D did an excellent job helping me fix our sync issue with Walmart orders. I have been using this app for many years and I am completely satisfied with service.

The app is a bit hard to navigate at once, but luckily the support team is extremely helpful and reacts quite fast. I've been in touch with Jason D, who solved my problems very professionally.

Glad that Shopify finally has an all-in-one platform manager that syncs perfectly with Shopify. Inventory management, adjustments, and things like product attribute/category updates is much easier like this than using multiple apps from the same company (looking at you CedCommerce).

*Updated after Codisto became Shopify Marketplace Connect* I am breaking my review down into issues that affect only Walmart, and issues that affect the Walmart, Amazon, and Ebay. A little background information about us, we have over 30K products on Shopify, have been selling on Walmart and Ebay for over 3 years, and Amazon for a little over 2 years. Walmart Issues: This is going to be my largest section. The Walmart Integration is a mess, the only function it reliably performs is order management- I can say this with complete confidence as we used Codisto for over two years. We have now changed to a new app to manage our Walmart listings, inventory, and orders and it works perfectly. Over the last two years, I opened at least 50 support cases due to functionality issues with the Walmart integration. I chatted, emailed, and even had video calls with support agents to try and solve these functionality issues- nothing was ever resolved. Biggest issues: 1. The "lagtime" field isn't mapped to anything. I've been asking them to make the field functional for 2 years and it was just not a priority for them. I brought the issue to their head of support, Nikki, and explained how critical this piece of information is and it was still never addressed. 2. "We send updates in real-time, it's Walmart who is slow to process it". I was told this again, and again, and again by support- and now that we are on another app, I can say with 100% certainty that this statement is false. I have successfully uploaded more products in the week following the change to CED Commerce's Walmart Marketplace Integration than I was able to over the last half a year using Codisto/Marketplace Connect. I can upload a feed and see the results displayed in the seller center within minutes. 3. This app does not allow you to see feed error. God forbid something is wrong when you enable a product in the grid- you will not be able to track down the error. Our new app not only let's view and download the feeds we've sent from the feed log, but they also even provide suggestions and solution to the errors. Codisto just tells you to contact Walmart Support to figure out what the issue was, which on its own is not a big deal, except for Walmart Support to be able to assist you, they need a copy of the feed and usually ask for it to be uploaded a second time... I've discussed this roadblock to success with Nikki multiple times, but it was always brushed off. Walmart, Amazon, and Ebay 4. Even before the rebrand, the grid was slow and at times completely unresponsive. After the rebrand, the grid is a joke... it is slower than before, often doesn't update after applying filters, and is generally hair-pulingly frustrating. Maybe the grid works better for companies with smaller catalogs. The update broke the Bulk Edit page to the point that you can't edit Variant products or even see the variants- only the parent. 5. This is one of the dumbest things I've seen a developer do... If you have a product with variants, and one of the variants is missing it's UPC/GTIN/EAN, the app will auto-fill the blank field with a UPC one of the other variants... which makes no sense... this leads to errors, including products being uploaded under the wrong child variant. Since the grid does not offer a field for "update product id" or "update SKU", this becomes a MAJOR headache and takes a lot of time and energy to fix... I reached out to chat support about both parts of this issue and got laughable answers. The agent on chat told me that to fix this SKU/Product ID mismatch, I just needed to "delete the product, wait 24 hours, and upload it again with the correct data", I responded to the agent that yes, that would fix the issue for Amazon, but that is not how Walmart works... The agents gave me the same instructions again and told me I needed to try it first and then wait 24 hours before they could look into the issue... I had to try to explain to this agent that Walmart and Amazon are not build the same way. This conversation with support went nowhere, I eventually gave up on this agent understanding the issue and emailed Nikki directly. To this day, neither part of this issue has been addressed, and I am still cleaning up the mess it caused... although the process is going much faster with a functional app. I think Codisto's biggest problem, besides their god complex and inability/unwillingness to accept and address functionality issues, is that they expect Walmart to function the same way Amazon does- which is not the case by any means. I've encountered many, MANY, issues over the last 2 years, it would take too long to list them all, but suffice to say, I am counting down the days until I can fully remove this app and never have to look at it again.

Stellar. Seamless synching and efficient, quick customer service. As a former Condisto customer, I cannot say enough about the upgrades and ease to use the app. Thank you Shopify Marketplace. Well done.

I encountered several issues that have been languishing that all users of this app need to know about. Let's start with the complete falsehood in this August 2023 video announcing this app - https://youtu.be/Cb7z3jGUUZY. This app is not 'real-time' as mentioned in the video. It has an internal scheduled push/pull data mechanism, which can leave your FBM fulfilled orders as 'late shipped' due to data not being sent back to Amazon on time. Reported and unresolved issues with the Amazon connection 1 - Using MCF fulfillment requires you to import all orders (FBA and FBM). This is an issue as the FBA orders imported into Shopify are unnecessary, but the feature is mutually exclusive. If you enable the Only FBM orders are imported option, the MCF is disabled. 2 - MCF orders require manually requesting fulfillment. You have been forewarned that there is no automation for this process within the app (but you may be able to automate it with an additional app, that I do not know.) 3 - MCF orders fail to pass to Amazon for fulfillment and products assigned to MCF inventory fail to show in the MCF enrolment page. Perhaps these two issues are linked, but I have not heard back from Shopify support yet. Reported issues with the Walmart connection 1 - Upon migrating from the Walmart Connection that is slated for removal on 10/1/2023, you encounter duplicate orders pulled from Walmart, even though they are completed and shipped. I was able to catch these in time to stop a second fulfillment, but it was a hassle. You have been forewarned. 2 - All Walmart orders are loaded without the customer-selected shipping option, only 'DELIVERY' is in the shipping option. So, if you offer Expedited shipping options on Walmart, you may want to map 'DELIVERY' to an expedited shipping level (which means all standard shipping goes out 'Expedited'). Again, I have reported this to Support, but no solution yet. I was a user of the Amazon by Codisto app previously and these issues did not exist in that app, which was a surprise to me when I encountered these regressions in functionality and failure of support to effect resolutions. I suggest you use this app at your own risk. If Akshay Patil at Shopify wants to connect, email me and I can provide additional details for him to assist his team in resolving these issues and make this app all he claims it is in the video linked above.

I'm changing my review. After many back and forwards with eBay and with the help of Market place connect support team we managed to get the eBay account live, it was far from easy however. The issue was it was a new eBay account with only a couple of products being listed before. After installing the app I was trying to send up 50 products, this instantly flagged the account and it was closed with no recourse. So my advise would be to use this app with an established account not a new one, as, actually, it is a very powerful tool, so take it easy build the ebay business a little and then gently use the app by sending a few listings and making sure to use where possible the correct categories. The App- it is very intuitive and works fine, listing up to both amazon and ebay with ease, syncing stock and prices effortlessly. Support, Harryl in particular has been super helpful, they are on it to help resolve issues, long may it last. Frustration points are related to amazon and eBay and how they operate their categories, for eBay the correct catagories do not always allow variations. Amazon sending up new product that has never been listed before, it can take some time to work through them so be prepared to spend some time on this. I would recommend this app and the suport, however, be aware you will need to invest some quality time to learn it and get it right or there is a risk (especially with market place new accounts). -- Original Review -- BE AWARE! This app has caused my eBay account to be permanently suspended for breaching eBay policies! There were no issues at all until I used this app, at first i got a restriction 2 hours after using the app, got the account live again, waited 24 hours then used the app again to re-list the suspended items then 2 hours later I got my account permanently suspended. I am now in a fight with eBay to get the account back again. This has cost me a crazy amount of time and money. Hopefully someone will respond from the app, but there is something in the sync that is triggering eBay to automatically close seller account. NOTE my eBay account is newish but be very careful. > On the plus side it is very easy to use and lists items in seconds. -- End Original Review --

I am pretty crap at technology! I couldnt work out how to sync with ebay. so i clicked on chat and within seconds the people gained acces to my store worked through everything with me for around 1 hour (past 5pm) to help me sync with ebay. The result was amazing. the ebay template through them is very professional the way it presents and a lot cheaper than most of the other apps! very very happy with the service, they were so patient with my dinosaur crappy tech skills!

the best support from Joy B , i really appreciated and the app is User friendly , simple thanks

We are still in the process of setting the app up, but so far so good and the support is fast and helpful. The app could be more intuitive, but the support compensates for any questions during the setup. Generally a good thing that Shopify now offers a solution to connect to marketplaces

Russ assisted me and there were an absolute star. They went above and beyond to correct the mistakes I was making and helped me understand the process a lot better. 10/10 will recommend

Very Bad App For Etsy Integrations. it doesnt have any options to put different descriptions , also it ruined all the keyword research on title because of no option to keep the titles different

Ich bin so dankbar, dass ich nun all meine Produkte auch auf Ebay listen kann. Ich muss mich gerade noch etwas in die App und die Funktionen einarbeiten, aber freue mich sehr über das Feature. Ich habe gerade Hilfe bei den Versandkosten benötigt und hatte super fix Support über den Livechat.

Excellent customer service! There is a person named Dale, and he went above and beyond to help me find the feature I was looking for.

This app has published the same items to Etsy several times, I received a huge bill to pay from Etsy for those duplicated listing fees plus the time I spent to delete them from Etsy shop.

You can't link a metafield if it has multiple values. Kind of useless for media listings where you have edition, features, genre, style, label all needing more than one entry. The condition defaults to 'Very Good' regardless of what you enter in the field meaning you can't sell something as 'New' or 'Like New'. It pulls through irrelevant fields, e.g. CD listings have a Cassette Grading. Orders include a 99p shipping charge despite the fact I only offer free shipping. Support are incredibly slow to respond, half answering questions so you have to keep chasing them. Not a good app.

The app itself works relatively well although we recently were logged out of our eBay Store (within Marketplace Connect app) and had to contact Support. When starting the Support query I had said "our eBay store has been 'disconnected' from Marketplace Connect"... Well apparently this terminology is wrong and the agent was more concerned about lecturing me on definitions and winning an argument about 'Disconnection' being different to 'Logged Out'... The agent went to the trouble of sending me screenshots of my own messages highlighting words like 'Disconnected' and remained argumentative and unconcerned about the problem till the end of the chat. My request was pretty simple, that we are notified when the sync between eBay and Marketplace Connect stops working... as a result of the link between Marketplace Connect and eBay not working, 17 orders over a 3 days period were not sync'd. In the end I closed the chat in frustration with the attitude of Support. The app itself is pretty good although if your eBay login token expires you will not be notified and as a result, the orders will not sync until you log back in - You will not be notified that the token expires, you will not be notified that the sync has stopped working... Can deal with that but the attitude of Support was really disappointing.

Thanks for your review! Our support team is available 24/7, please reach out anytime. Nikki

Thank you helpdesk support. They are quick on response and very helpful. They resolved my mapping issues I had with the ASIN and UPC. Thank you, Central Pet Smart
