Shopify Marketplace Connect

This app SUCKS. When clicking install, goes NOWHERE and the page is blank. Tried 3 different browsers and still nothing! FIX your app or REMOVE IT from the Shopify app store!

Die App ist nicht wirklich zu empfehlen, sie ist sehr langsam und übermitteln von den ausgewählten Produkten willkürlich irgendwelche. Manchmal von 100 ausgewählten gar kein, manchmal 10 manchmal alle. Es werde auch keine Fehler angezeigt.

worst app for walmart marketplace

This app is completely useless, truly not usable. Codisto was great, it worked well, this new Marketplace Connect will not work with anyone who has more than a handful of products to list. I cannot even filter our listings, the data is so slow to load after 2 minutes (timed) about 10% of one filter option was loaded for our 5,000 live ebay product listings. After 3+ years with Codiso, I am now in a rush to move to a new platform that we can actually use. Super disappointed.

Broken link to ebay... second instance suddenly not working. previously selling on amazon and this app caused us to get banned from Amazon for breach of service. No warning. No alerts that orders were not coming, only by chance we checked. Bad service, stay clear.

Codisto support assured me that that they had fixed and earlier problem and that Pryce Sync for Walmart could be turned off. After months of back and forth with support and countless hours of testing different options, they could not find a solution and not even an apology for the wasted time was offered. If they had just acknowledged that it didn't work from the beginning, I would not be leaving this negative feedback. But they just kept insisting that it did it work, probably thinking that I would just let it go. At first they blamed Walmart for it, telling me to disconnect their app and test. I did, I tested for a week and reconnected. It was not Walmart's fault. Their solution is, find another app that can provide a fix for their app. A gigantic waste of time.

Here we go again, couldnt understand why my sales on Amazon had dropped massively only to find that my variations on the products werent listing even though the app said there were no errors. I cant imagine how many £1000s i have lost , as always they have told me its Amazon to blame 16/11/2020. Our best selling item is no longer listing properly on amazon, Codisto have now said it must be my fault or Amazon (usual excuse) as they cant get it to work either , What is the point of this software please tell me!!!!!! 29/03/2019
Again more problems on Amazon. today was a catastrophic failure of Codisto with most of my listings either having no price, wrong price, wrong photo or wrong description, this error seems to have coincided with a new update today . I was told 7 hours ago it was fixed and it wasnt and now i cant get any replies. I now have an Amazon business that has totally wrong data on most of my listings I am always shocked how fast i must reply to my customers but how slowly shopify app developers reply to questions, i really think that to sell apps on shopify they should guarantee a reply time of atleast 1 or 2 hours , or better still they should have a live chat works great with ebay but so many problems with listings on Amazon , constant errors that cant really be explained properly. If it worked on amazon as well as ebay i would give it a 5 and therefore really isnt worth the money they are charging

A simple problem of adding our Google Merchant account to Codisto has cost us hours or time and $100's of dollars due to Codisto support messing up. Duplicated orders, duplicated ebay and google merchant accounts in codisto. 2 hours+ lost time and staff having to deduplicate orders in shopify and our fulfilment system

Total disaster.. all we wanted to do was add Merchant center to Codisto. Worse still support really not listening to what we say blindly following their docs without a clue what to do when it goes wrong.. not even an apology!

Day 2 support still blindly followed their docs and ignore the customer , even when i pleaded with them they still took action without consulting us first. Honestly, they have turned into a disaster area!!!

As a long time user of Codisto I was quite happy with it, and it would have been a 5-star app.
Now, after becoming part of Shopify and rebranded Marketplace Connect, it went down to 1 star.

Functions that we used and need in Codisto have disappeared.
Why can I not work on variants in the bulk edit view?
Why would I have to go through single edit mode to make changes, especially when I need to do them in bulk to many of our listings at a time?

How is it not possible to at least match functionality?

I was hopeful that over time, some of the kinks that Codisto had would get solved after becoming part of the Shopify family, but I could not imagine losing core functions as a result.

Edit:
Support was able to revert me back to Codisto (the original app), which is great and enables me to be able to work again.

I was then asked to please delete my review, which I am willing to do as soon as the problems in the new app/design are gone. Until then, my rating stands that Shopify Marketplace is a sorry excuse in the state that it is now.

*Updated after Codisto became Shopify Marketplace Connect*

I am breaking my review down into issues that affect only Walmart, and issues that affect the Walmart, Amazon, and Ebay. A little background information about us, we have over 30K products on Shopify, have been selling on Walmart and Ebay for over 3 years, and Amazon for a little over 2 years.

Walmart Issues:
This is going to be my largest section. The Walmart Integration is a mess, the only function it reliably performs is order management- I can say this with complete confidence as we used Codisto for over two years. We have now changed to a new app to manage our Walmart listings, inventory, and orders and it works perfectly. Over the last two years, I opened at least 50 support cases due to functionality issues with the Walmart integration. I chatted, emailed, and even had video calls with support agents to try and solve these functionality issues- nothing was ever resolved.
Biggest issues:

1. The "lagtime" field isn't mapped to anything. I've been asking them to make the field functional for 2 years and it was just not a priority for them. I brought the issue to their head of support, Nikki, and explained how critical this piece of information is and it was still never addressed.

2. "We send updates in real-time, it's Walmart who is slow to process it". I was told this again, and again, and again by support- and now that we are on another app, I can say with 100% certainty that this statement is false. I have successfully uploaded more products in the week following the change to CED Commerce's Walmart Marketplace Integration than I was able to over the last half a year using Codisto/Marketplace Connect. I can upload a feed and see the results displayed in the seller center within minutes.

3. This app does not allow you to see feed error. God forbid something is wrong when you enable a product in the grid- you will not be able to track down the error. Our new app not only let's view and download the feeds we've sent from the feed log, but they also even provide suggestions and solution to the errors. Codisto just tells you to contact Walmart Support to figure out what the issue was, which on its own is not a big deal, except for Walmart Support to be able to assist you, they need a copy of the feed and usually ask for it to be uploaded a second time... I've discussed this roadblock to success with Nikki multiple times, but it was always brushed off.

Walmart, Amazon, and Ebay

4. Even before the rebrand, the grid was slow and at times completely unresponsive. After the rebrand, the grid is a joke... it is slower than before, often doesn't update after applying filters, and is generally hair-pulingly frustrating. Maybe the grid works better for companies with smaller catalogs. The update broke the Bulk Edit page to the point that you can't edit Variant products or even see the variants- only the parent.

5. This is one of the dumbest things I've seen a developer do... If you have a product with variants, and one of the variants is missing it's UPC/GTIN/EAN, the app will auto-fill the blank field with a UPC one of the other variants... which makes no sense... this leads to errors, including products being uploaded under the wrong child variant. Since the grid does not offer a field for "update product id" or "update SKU", this becomes a MAJOR headache and takes a lot of time and energy to fix... I reached out to chat support about both parts of this issue and got laughable answers. The agent on chat told me that to fix this SKU/Product ID mismatch, I just needed to "delete the product, wait 24 hours, and upload it again with the correct data", I responded to the agent that yes, that would fix the issue for Amazon, but that is not how Walmart works... The agents gave me the same instructions again and told me I needed to try it first and then wait 24 hours before they could look into the issue... I had to try to explain to this agent that Walmart and Amazon are not build the same way. This conversation with support went nowhere, I eventually gave up on this agent understanding the issue and emailed Nikki directly. To this day, neither part of this issue has been addressed, and I am still cleaning up the mess it caused... although the process is going much faster with a functional app.

I think Codisto's biggest problem, besides their god complex and inability/unwillingness to accept and address functionality issues, is that they expect Walmart to function the same way Amazon does- which is not the case by any means. I've encountered many, MANY, issues over the last 2 years, it would take too long to list them all, but suffice to say, I am counting down the days until I can fully remove this app and never have to look at it again.
