Shopify Marketplace Connect

The app can get extremely frustrating due to constraints when linking the Shopify catalog with existing listings on Ebay/Amazon. It leaves too much room for error, and the process to correct it is so complicated.

This app isn't very user-friendly. The instructions are incomplete.

The support is really hit or miss. Sometimes it's great, and sometimes it's downright infuriating and the person either doesn't understand the problem or is just trying to close the case without actually listening.

a very inconsistent app. doesnt consistently download and sync listings, doesn't match 100percent of the time. Doesn't carry through prices completely.

I use Shopify Marketplace Connect for Walmart and Target Plus to list my products. While Walmart's interface was initially less intuitive, it's now fairly easy to use. Target's listing process, however, has been very frustrating.

Walmart Marketplace:

Pros: Easy listing process once you're familiar with the interface.
Cons: Some prompts and expectations within the app could be clearer and more straightforward.

Target Marketplace Connect:

Cons:
* My first listing attempt was rejected without a clear explanation.
* The second listing required an excessive amount of detail, including numerous dimensions, making it unnecessarily time-consuming.
* The app needs clearer indication of which fields are truly required. Currently, it uses an asterisk to mark some required fields, but after submitting a listing, I receive critical errors for fields that were not marked as required. This inconsistency leads to multiple errors and wasted time.

* Target Plus lacks the shipping flexibility offered by other platforms. Sellers are locked into their initial choice of shipping carrier, which restricts options for both sellers and customers who may prefer different carriers or shipping speeds.

Suggestion:

* Target should streamline the listing process, clearly indicate which fields are mandatory, and ensure a smoother, more user-friendly experience.

* Improve shipping flexibility: Allow sellers to change shipping carriers based on weight, shipping cost, and speed.

Support Experiences:

Support experiences have been inconsistent. While some agents were unhelpful and unclear, I recently connected with Lou, who was fantastic. He was knowledgeable, empathetic, and provided clear solutions.

Suggestion: Ensure all support agents are trained to provide the same level of excellent service as Lou, with a focus on clear communication, empathy, and understanding.

Overall:

Enhance the seller experience by focusing on clarity and efficiency. Provide clear instructions, concise error messages (not everything needs to be critical), and a clear distinction between required and recommended fields. Streamlined processes and knowledgeable support agents are also essential.

I'm adding one star to my review because a leader from the company contacted me and explained the situation. However, the lack of follow-up and subsequent unresponsiveness from that same leader is disappointing and prevents me from rating higher. There are still issues with the app, and the customer communication via chat needs substantial improvement, including consistent and timely responses to customer contact. Addressing these fundamental communication and functionality problems should be a priority.

I like this app for syncing inventory and pushing photos and descriptions over to eBay from Shopify but the listing process could be better. The app overwrites or removes any changes you make on eBay with every sync, including products that were listed before you installed the app. So be sure to make all edits within the app. After I synced my existing listings it removed all the details like category, color, material, department, etc. It would be nice if there was an option to choose what to update after the initial sync like quantity, price changes, etc.

Also, DO NOT use the auto category feature. I've had products removed from eBay for being in the wrong categories. The app has listed clothing as books, adult products as crafts etc.

Avis mitigé à ce stade car notre portefeuille produits comporte de nombreux kits (ou bundles ou lots composés de plusieurs références )que nous avons réussi à créer pour Amazon. Toutefois les commandes Amazon ne remontent pas pour les bundles et MarketPlace Connect n'a pas de solution à date. Sommes déçus !

Really wanted to use this app, reading the reviews everything appeared to be positive about it.
Connected ETSY as wanted to start small, had an issue which Josh advised on swiftly.
This was followed by another issue whereby products were not syncing, spoke with Josh on the live chat and he walked me through the set up. All appeared to work and the information went from shopify to ETSY fine, did a test order and it didn't work.
Spoke to Live chat who said there had been a policy change (must have happened in the few hours between the morning and afternoon) this was now effecting orders from ETSY and i was best to carry on using ETSY directly as there was no timescale.
Sadly i wanted to get ETSY sorted before moving on the Amazon and EBAY so for the time being i have disconnected the account and removed the app
Hopefully it will work in the future but dont want to risk messing up ebay and amazon

I've been using this app for nearly three days to integrate my POD items on Amazon, but I'm still encountering issues. Customer service has been friendly and tried to assist, but they don't seem to fully grasp the problem. The user dashboard is very complex and hard to navigate. I've already spent two days on this app, so I'm hesitant to uninstall it right away. I'll give it one more week to see if I can make it work, but if you're new like me, you might want to consider exploring other options for now.

Muli bulk edit in codisto is way better

We've been using this solution for less than a year as an apparel seller. Overall, it's been a decent solution that will maintain the stock reliably and list products quickly to Amazon and eBay. However, there are two major issues that a Shopify retailer should be aware of before you move forward with Codisto:

- This app will only set parent SKUs to be FBA or FBM. This means that variant products can only be one or the other. If you run out of a size or color at FBA but you have it at your physical store or warehouse, it can't be listed until you run out of all the sizes and switch the parent back or send those units to FBA. This isn't a big deal for large retailers but if you're a smaller store, it means a good chunk of your inventory is unavailable to customers.

- Support. Right now, Amazon has set a series of mandatory requirements for Shoe listings. Codisto allows you to set up the required fields but it's been having a lot of trouble pushing the product to Amazon. We keep experiencing errors when listing this part of our inventory. We've been going back and forth with support and we're stuck in a feedback loop and nothing is being done about it. We hope Codisto's management will take notice and act swiftly.

Once these problems are fixed, we'll consider revising this review.

We've used Codisto for awhile and it could be better. The old eBay app used to allow us to choose locations by item. They didn't have a location option until we addressed it with them and was a serious teeth-pulling episode. Eventually they came up with the means to pick ONE location which we figured out a way to manage (despite the fact that some items come from one location and some from another). Now with Walmart Marketplace ending and this app being official (?), the Walmart portion does not have a place to choose locations where the product is coming from. So we sold items out of a location that doesn't have shipping facilities. Why can 2 of them have location option and not Walmart? If this cannot be updated immediately, we'll have to find another app (which I would rather have have to do).
