Shopify Collective

Everything was fine for 2 years, then I got an email saying I am no longer eligible. Support cannot help me; seems they do not know how to even work Shopify Collective. It says I am no longer eligible because I need an active Shopify plan, yet my store has been active for 7 almost 8 years! This program needs improvement as well as the support staff that don't know how to help you so they just forward you around.

I loved Collective at first and encouraged my vendors to get on board so I could sell their products through the app. They did! I hired a team to inactivate the same products I was selling to use the collective app and recreated PDPs with collective. I sold through the app for 6-7 months ONLY TO WAKE UP ONE MORNING to see hundreds of products being DEACTIVATED with NO WARNING and NO solution. I have a generic note that says my store is not eligible and doesnt comply with collective. WHAT???? Even shopify cant help. I have a great business and i dont even know what policy i am not complying with. This is a disaster and I DO NOT RECOMMEND FOR ANY BUSINESSES.

Some of the vendors here only offer 5% profit yet retail price is supposed to be 3xs higher than wholesale or dropshipping. We have just started using this app and already dissatisfied with some vendors here. This is absurd. We have to get more profit as retailers. Some of the vendors are retailers too on their website but are doing dropshipping and wholesale. This is unacceptable in business. Retail profit can't be less than dropshipping or wholesale profit.

Some of the suppliers are great, however the ones that aren't can ruin your business! Beware! I sold two products from a shop on here and they shipped the WRONG product to the customer! I couldn't get through to anyone on email or phone and they never accepted the return so I am having to process it. I actually LOST money on this app. horrible. Shopify is NO help! I tried to contact them and there is only a bot that answers. Customer support is nonexistent unless you are a huge shop on Shopify Plus. Shame on Shopify for not helping retailers protect their store's reputation from horrible suppliers like this one!

Does not pull customer email for providing shipping information. Does pull Name, address and phone, but not the purchasers email.

Even after multiple requests and chats, payouts have not been reactivated. As a result, our store remains ineligible for Collective. Very disappointing.

Pointless without a browse function so you can find retailers to partner with. Why on earth did shopify think this was a viable idea? Half a solution!
