Absolutely Fantastic service! I have been using Channel Unity to integrate my POD and Physical Stock products to many different Etsy, eBay and Amazon channels for just over a year now and it has been great! I always receive prompt and detailed customer support along the way without any delay from Poppy and Emmet and they are always patient and informative with any questions I have now and again. Once you get your head around how the system manipulates data with the additional use of Meta Fields and their awesome 'Tag Product fields' feature you can start filling all the gaps for each marketplace giving you a serious advantage over other integration systems that only offer you options to fill the main sections. And usually if there are other options available you need to fill them in manually one by one. Channel unity gives you all the marketplace fields you need to make data rich product listings on all channels and with the use of the 'Tag product fields' feature you can build a tag to relate to data you need to be on a certain field in a marketplace and then add the tag in bulk to all the relevant Shopify listings within the Shopify bulk editor. This truly is a powerhouse system that is rock solid. It has never missed an order for me yet either, which is so important when you have multiple channels running. Keep up the great work guys!

I would go as far as saying this app has fundamentally changed our business, our level of orders and our long term prospects.

I must have trialled 10 different bits of software, wasted days and days of my time and completely wrecked my inventory. What I wanted to do seemed fairly simple to me. I wanted to link to ebay.co.uk (which we were already linked to through Inkfrog), amazon.co.uk and etsy.com. I wanted the software to create listings from my Shopify listings, keep stock pricing etc up to date, then ideally import any orders back into Shopify.

All the other products we looked at either didn't support all the channels we neededs, had terrible support, were incredibly, eye-wateringly expensive, were too US-centric or simply appeared not to work.

We are relatively small and trying to grow as fast as possible which can't make us all that unusual. I mention this because there seems to be an assumption amongst most providers of this type of solution that just because you want to sell across channels, you must be taking hundreds of thousands of pounds/dollars/euros per month. Are we really the only Shopify user who really wants to get to that stage and sees multi-channel as a key way of getting there?

Anyway, we finally found ChannelUnity and the first couple of weeks were hard. What I learnt from trying other systems is that going multi-channel just is difficult. Amazon in particular are hugely fussy about the information needed to successfully list meaning that you will need to add extra "metafields" to Shopify with certain information like product material (depending on item), bullet points, search terms etc. The support from CU was great during this period and continues to be. They are there 7 days a week and have always responded to online chats within a minute or two. They even made a small change to their coding because I wanted to use Shopify "product types" to indicate the category for the channels and this was done in a few days. After these couple of weeks of work and learning, I came to the point where I feel completely on top of the system and it doesn't miss a beat.

Three pieces of advice:

1) I'll repeat that getting channels syncing is hard and is going to be a massive learning curve for even the relatively technical. This is far harder than just setting up Shopify. Sadly, without paying a fortune for someone to do it for you, there doesn't seem to be a way around this. CU will certainly, in my experience give you all the help they can.

2) Treat yourself to the £50 plan with online chat included. The guys are great and because of point 1 above, you're probably going to need them from time to time.

3) You will need to add extra metafields to Shopify to get Amazon working. I'm using an app called Superfields from the App Store which is perfect for this job.

These guys are fantastic. We have worked with the company for the past 3 months and it has been an absolute pleasure. Ben and Michael have done great work for us and are very quick to provide support. All of this comes at a great price too. Thank you!!!!!
