Shopify Marketplace Connect

Terrible app. Cannot connect marketplace after 20 trys

Was working OK,( the shopfiy makeover after they absorbed the app was a complete disaster ), but now our inventory is not syncing for days - we are now overselling 6-8 items on ebay everyday. They have been unable resolve the situation for several weeks now. We have to scramble to restock items, or refund purchases. Hours of our time wasted, and we look like amateurs who don't know how to run a business. And it is not cheap. Looking for alternatives.

Short review: App is slow, buggy, and may lead to your eBay account and Walmart account being suspended. Avoid this app.

Detailed review: I hate to leave a 1 star review but need to express how frustrating our experience with Marketplace Connect support has been. We switched over to using this app months ago and got our eBay sync set up to our account we've been selling from since 1998. Our account is now on a warning to get the seller rating up due to all of the cancellations we've had to do since using this app. It has constant sync issues with our Shopify inventory. If we sell something in store? It may take days, if ever (seriously) for it to update on our eBay store. Naturally this leads to regularly overselling items.

That's after you can get past the VERY slow UI on Marketplace Connect's end for setting things up. The Walmart connection is even slower to navigate, but at least, so far, that sync is stable. To their credit, they have improved the navigation on the eBay side some since we started using it, and I suspect a large part of their issue is that they just are not optimized for stores such as ours with hundreds of thousands of SKU's.

We've regularly provided support with updates on oversells and sync issues. They are always very fast to respond (kudos to the 1st level support group!). But they never have answers. We have zero communication from them other than when we send over a new example. No updates what-so-ever. After months. So when we do ask for an update on the underlying issue, 1st level support says the ticket is still with the engineering team and there is no further update to provide.

I feel like we've given support ample time to fix their issues, or at least *COMMUNICATE* with us on a regular basis to know what to expect. We've had to put our eBay account into vacation mode at this point and seek alternative options.

Edit: It's been well over a month and we've since found a different app from the eBay sync (Lionz) where all is working smoothly. In that month, the Marketplace Connect support has had one single response to our long open ticket. It was a promise from one of their developers that they would be looking into our ticket further, and that they would stay in touch. Not a word since then. So for anyone having similar issues, please check out Lionz instead. They are eBay sync only for now, but actually work well for that portion.

Second edit:

We continued using Marketplace Connect to sync with Walmart. It worked for a few months, but now sadly suffers from all of the same issues we ran into with the eBay connection. Items sold in store do not get removed from Walmart, leading to oversells days, weeks, even months later. App support is not helpful. They just thank us for the bug report submissions, but nothing gets fixed or communicated beyond that. So we are divesting ourselves entirely from this app and moving on.

The worst possible connector app... you think everything goes smooth and then BOOM all your listings on a marketplace get deleted and nobody at support knows what to do. There goes years and years of work. HIGHLY RECOMMEND GOING TO A DIFFERENT APP.

This app was so bad we deleted it the day after we went through 2 support chats and nobody had any clues how to help.

My experience with this app has been absolutely awful. If you still have Codisto, DO NOT move to Marketplace connect. I moved over 5 days ago and was told the transfer would be essentially be "seamless". I haven't had any active listings on Amazon since i.e. no sales. I've been on their Livechat twice a day every day, I keep on being assured that it's with their engineering team. No fix, no timeline. NOTHING.

DO NOT TRANSFER FROM CODISTO

App keeps syncing prices of my Shopify listings with the my Etsy listings, even though the sync options are set to "web". Gave up and uninstalled after it done it for the third time.

This app takes an hour to transfer orders from an external marketplace to Shopify. By that time suppliers can be sold out of the purchased items. I contacted support and they told me on two separate occasions that the unacceptable lag time was fixed. They lied to me to get out of actually dealing with the app problem. they are unable to fix the app to work efficiently.

Horrible app. Does not sync to Walmart and customer support gives you the run around.

Unfortunately I have to give 1 star to raise awareness due to the fact this app, as some other users have mentioned, can result in sync issues with eBay. This is a major bug and in almost all cases will impact the business. We have not experienced any issues with Amazon, however, as such a major bug has been allowed to exist, this app cannot be trusted to not cause other issues down the line.

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.
