Merchants appreciate this app for its ability to effortlessly import and sync Amazon products to Shopify, enhancing inventory management and reducing manual work. They value the "Buy on Amazon" button for facilitating affiliate sales and praise the user-friendly interface and automatic product detail syncing. The responsive customer support is commended for effectively resolving issues and assisting with customizations. Continuous feature updates, like search by title, also contribute to its positive reception.

If I could give a negative star I would. I asked these Aholes twice if the store was correctly integrated. They told me twice it was correctly integrated. It was not - refunds, unhappy customers, looking stoopid. DO NOT USE
I originally got this app for drop shipping with my store. I have a few issues with it.
1. It takes my customers away from store. One customer wanted to know why they should come back and buy from me If all I am going to do is send them to Amazon.
2. By sending my customers to Amazon I lose any future potential sales and they can then purchase other items from Amazon which takes sales directly away from me.
3. Even though I have purchased the 5.00 month app - it does not auto sync nor allow me to sync product pricing - which make me look like I am posting fraudulent prices.
4. Pricing for an item that costs normally 4-5 dollars is showing 22 and more. Ridiculous.
5. Although I did have questions about some of the use of Spreader, the tech support was there to answer questions. Overall, I am not happy with app. The app or company does not take into account the lost revenue for the shop owner when sending customers to another website to shop, and also does not take into account the loss of revenue from all the advertising YOU do and someone else is getting all the dollars. Sorry, but I don't think this is a great app if you are a drop shipper. If you only doe affiliate selling, then this app may be for you.
It was great until Amazon shut it down

I cant remove "view on Amazon" button after I deleted the APP, I contacted the support, but they didn't help me out.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We sincerely apologize if you’ve had a less than perfect experience with us.
There seems to be a misunderstanding. Our support team replied within 15 minutes to your email. We provided you a couple of options to remove the 'View on Amazon' button. Additionally, we offered to remove the integration code for you so that you don't have to worry about it. We haven't heard back from you.
If you want to speak to us, you may reach our team at support@spreadr.freshdesk.com and we will be there to answer right away.
Not a viable app to make money, doesn't keep track of lowest price of same items so when customer goes to the link and there is a lower priced item the link sale doesn't count and as items change price ALL THE TIME on Amazon this is a must have feature! it's ok for the first few days until the prices change then its just a dead site with overpriced versions of the same items
HOW CAN YOU GUYS GO ON LYING TO PEOPLE. LINKS FAIL VALIDATION ON AMAZON LINK CHECKER AFTER IMPORTATION TO MY WEBSITE.
I'm FURIOUS that you sold this APP as a gateway for Amazon. YOU ARE NOT AN APPROVED GATEWAY FOR AMAZON.. If you call AMAZON.. they will TELL YOU.. SPREADR VIOLATES the terms of the Affiliate program. NOT only that .. it imports products with Static Pricing.. AND gives people the understanding that this works.. YOU WAISTED HOURS OF MY TIME.. And I am absolutely furious that not only Shopify would allow this into their app store and recommend it.. but even more so that Spreadr continues to think that listing products with no pricing AND have a button that says.. Click here for availability ... is PATHETIC..
THIS IS A COMPLETE "F" for integration and you are selling a false truth.
SHAME
How this app has 4.8 stars I am shocked. The UI is buggy and has outdated set up guides. They charge you $5 a month but unless you meet the new Amazon guidelines, you can't become an affiliate to import ANY products. There is an alternative method call SiteStripe, which will provide you code to copy and paste on the page you want to show the listing on. That means you have to go into the theme editor and hope you are right. I wish Shopify would regulate these Apps better. It seems anyone can make an app that doesn't work and say there is a trial when there isn't. Every once in awhile I wish I could give 0 stars. Sure it's only a loss of $5, but I am just starting out and I could have used that $5 with an app that is trying to help me succeed, not pocket my $5.
Thanks for the review and for trying out the app in the first place. It seems there is a misunderstanding about the Spreadr app. I'll try to address your concerns here.
1. The Shopify theme code keeps changing rapidly. While we try to update the documentation regularly, it sometimes is slightly different from the original code. Also, we offer free setup assistance and integrate the code on your behalf.
2. SiteStripe is a tool that simply creates an Amazon affiliate URL. Whereas Spreadr app helps you to import products into Shopify, replace Add to Cart button with affiliate links and many other features such as auto-sync and geo-localization.
3. Amazon has placed rules for good reason so that their platform is not misused. Spreadr app is designed adhering to their guidelines.
4. We have a 7-day free trial so that you can test drive the app. If you think the app is unsuitable you may uninstall before the trial ends and you will not be charged at all. This is completely transparent using Shopify Billing API.
5. Our app has been completely vetted by Shopify and has been featured on the app store homepage multiple times. Thousands of Shopify merchants are already using the app successfully as Amazon affiliates. 4.8-star rating is a testament to app service.
While we understand that you have had a less than perfect experience with the app we will be happy to address your concerns. You may write to us at support@spreadr.freshdesk.com.

We appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review. Our sincere apologies if you’ve had a less than perfect experience with us.
I have rechecked our ticketing system and did not find any email from your account. Otherwise, we usually reply within a few hours.
Anyways, we have now sent you an email- you can simply reply and we will assist you with all the issues (check spam box for email support@spreadr.freshdesk.com.)
We will be happy to help.
REVISED! Had this app for a couple of days with a handful of products and get a termination notice. This is ridiculous. Amazon will cancel you for any reason that they pull out of no where! NOT ONE PURCHASE was made and WHY would you have a friend or anyone purchase something to make a small commission? Reason for termination is -Purchases resulting from Special Links on your Site have been for personal use, resale, or commercial use, or have been made by your friends, relatives, employees, contractors, or business relations. BYE AMAZON!
Easy to use and loads products super quick! Awesome app!
