Cin7 Core

Beware, if you try to cancel the subscription, your only option is to schedule a sales call. If you don't change your mind during the sales call, you are told there is a 30 days cancellation notice and you'll have to keep paying the subscription one more month. Of course the app isn't exactly great which is why I wanted to cancel in the first place.

tl/dr, we have a serious yet seemingly easy issue to fix. Support is in india (we think) and it has been impossible to fix our issue since cin7 was installed over a year ago. It has never worked for us.

We have been having a desperate time with cin7 core. We far preferred OrderHive which worked for us. Dear Systems bought OrderHive and shut it down, and we found ourselves talked into moving to cin7.

Our core problem which nobody seems to be able to fix is that, despite the myriad of settings and options, it appears to be impossible for cin7 to partially fulfil an order that contains items items we fulfill and items marked as Drop-Shipped. Regardless of what we do, when we ship the items we are responsible for shipping out of our warehouse, cin7 communicates back to shopify that all items in the order have now been shipped, inclusive of the drop ship items.

In reality, the we have a separate integration with shopify to Inventory-source which handles our dropshipping.

We want cin7 to leave the drop-shipped items alone. We have been operating with our integration with shopify disabled and we have been manually marking our shipments partially fulfilled in shopify and actually cut n pasting tracking numbers. Its been a total nightmare and we cant wait to get off this product.

Its now been over a year. We have been going back and forth with support in India (there appears to be nobody local). We have demonstrated the problem numerous times. There appears to be nobody local in the USA to help.

I am posting this here in the hopes that someone higher up in cin7 will FINALLY listen to us and help us with this issue. If they do I will edit this review.

The onboarding help has been great. We migrated from Orderhive and Atulya went above and beyond to reduce the pain from migrating. She was very patient and helpful getting us up and running. We're still getting up to speed as Core has different functionality. In some cases more robust than Orderhive however there are some things in Orderhive , like one central place of truth for product information (eg prices) that pushes to all 3rd parties.

This app works quite well -- keeps inventory quantity updated, pushes Shopify sales over to Dear, allows me to bulk list inventory from Dear to Shopify. Features I wish it had: 1) a way to push over search engine listing previews. 2) a way to easily associate a Shopify purchase with an existing customer in Dear. If the customer enters their name or company slightly different than last time then a new customer is created in Dear. Not a big deal but somewhat frustrating if you care about customer purchase history. Overall, I'm pleased with this integration.

Dear systems has worked excellently for us with Shopify. We have 3 shopify stores and Dear helps us manage the inventory across all and warehouse smoothly and efficiently. It integrates well with sales and refunds and everything is updated instantly.
