Click & Drop

*EDITED IN RESPONSE TO DEVELOPER'S REPLY BELOW*

Our errors are occurring due to our online store being integrated multiple times on C&D, as opposed to a single integration that's creating duplicate orders. This issue is caused because every time we launch C&D - regardless of wether it's from within Shopify's dashboard, or visiting the app URL link directly (as recommended by the developer themselves in their reply below) it still creates multiple integrations - so even if we access C&D via a direct URL, it still continues to create multiple integrations and subsequently, cloned orders. For us, this recommended workaround is no longer working consistently and needs urgently addressing for all users.

*ORIGINAL REVIEW*

I honestly cannot comprehend how bad this app is, if you want something to assist the derailment of your online business, use this app.

As others have said, the synchronisation is terrible, it constantly re integrates your online store so if you have, let's say, 10 new orders for example, it will show up in the Click and Drop app that you have 30 new orders, and then the order numbers will not sync up to the back end of your shopify. Every time we open this app, it reintegrates as a new store connection every time, causing endless clones of multiple orders that become incredibly difficult to keep track of.

It used to work not too bad. I remember seeing a review on here a while back where someone said to never to launch the app from your shopify dashboard, but instead just bookmark the URL for the app's home page, and visit it directly from a new tab to avoid the repeating integration issue. This hack was working well for us for a while, up until recently, whereas now it seems that regardless of wether you access the Click and Drop app via shopify dashboard, or by visiting the URL directly, it just doesn't sync up correctly to your store and/or pulls in an absurd amount of duplicates.

Surely this must be one of the biggest and most used services for small UK online businesses, and this is the state of the app and it's functionality? The fact that the same complaints have been echoed on other reviews for so long shows RM's total lack of support or motivation to actually fix these errors too. Diabolical. Please hire a new, competent developer team that actually does their job.

Works as it should. Shame it doesn't pull through customs data from product variants (it looks like you can add SKUs directly in to Click and Drop but then we're duplicating data which we always try and avoid).

Order history over 1 weeks dont sync up, and no button to prompt later history. Try to reach out, but terrible customer service.

Let me respond to your review reply.

You stated:
"As mentioned in our guide, we do not import orders older than 7 days, which generally should not be a problem."

My response:
The emphasis on "generally" is misleading. Many sellers, including those with pre-orders or other specific needs, would benefit from importing orders older than 7 days. To make matters worse, third-party software allows access to order histories beyond 7 days, proving that it’s possible—yet you choose not to offer this feature.

Click and Drop could do much better, as reflected in the numerous 1-star reviews.

And I won’t even begin to address the issue of deleting information after 13 months…

Installed this four years ago and at first it worked OK - about a 20 minute delay for a new order in Shopify to become visible in the app, but it has got progressively worse. Now it can take a few hours to days for a new order to come across from Shopify. Utterly useless app - you will find yourself creating manual orders rather than waiting ad infinitum.

Ok so I was worried to install because of all the negative reviews. So far it has just removed a step for me exporting my new orders, which is good. However, why is this so barebones? Can it not sync back from my Royal Mail Click and Drop account and mark orders as fulfilled and send my customers a tracking number as well? Because it appears I still need to send this to them myself manually, which is a lot of pointless copying and pasting when the apps are connected and should do this automatically. I know Royal Mail isn't exactly a high tech company, but man, all it is really doing is exporting new orders and nothing else. Please put a little work into this, it might not mean much to you but for small businesses like mine it makes a big difference.

I don't undertstand the negative reviews, when combined with an online business account this app is absolutely awesome! Support from RM to get up and running with mail collections is also first class. Highly recommend!

For such a big company that gets so much funding from UK taxes, it has so many bugs and slow to work and bad UX

Works really well for me. All orders are imported and sends the tracking back to shopify. There's a settings to Mark as Dispatched when you create the label and another to export the tracking number at the same time.

Very occasionally you have to re-link the app on the Click & Drop website, maybe when there's been API changes? It's easy to update but also quite easy to end up duplicating the integration - this is how you get duplicate orders. Just delete the second integration to resolve.

Quietly works in the background without any involvement needed 99% of the time. Excellent.

Great App, pulls through orders from Amazon fine and updates the tracking.

However it does not update the tracking information for orders coming through from our Shopify store

This needs to be fixed asap as manually tracking needs to be updated in order to trigger email marketing emails and updating tracking for hundreds of orders defeats the purpose of an otherwise great app.

I think this worked the very first time I used it but since then it doesn't update Shopify on anything so is completely useless. Back to entering everything manually. I need to look in to other shipping options I guess like DPD or EVRI etc.
