Shopify Marketplace Connect

App creates order for FBA but does not updates Shopify inventory. HORRIBLE APP

This app has given us nothing but countless hours of extra work. Slow to use and not intuitive at all.

It closes my account automatically. When I reopen account it shows it's all good, but once I leave the page, my acc. got shut down again. When I reached out to support and explained. They answered by "acc. is closed". When I replied by explaining again, they just ignored me. BTW, my one product is "publishing" to Etsy for 2 days. And app is super slow. Not sure how they managed to receive so much good reviews.

Can't seem to set mine up - either an issue with the asin or sku.

Great concept, just unfortunately doesn't work for me so will try the old fashioned way of manually adding the products to Amazon.

This app is unpredictable and support is spotty. They are clearly still developing this app. I have been using it since November for Ebay and Etsy and the app nearly caused my etsy shop to be suspended with the recent developments they made to it. It was resetting my supply listings to claiming they are handmade, by me, recently. This is a HUGE violation of etsy's number 1 policy and led to them removing 2 listings in the past month of raw materials I sell for crafts. This caused Etsy to also remove my star seller status and they are threatening suspension of my shop. As of this moment there is no way to correct this on the app in settings. I always choose "ALL etsy rules" and the app was still behaving this way. I audited my entire shop of nearly 2000 listings, manually, going through the listings one by one, about 5 times in the past 8 months correcting these mistakes, as well as repopulating the SEO tags the app removes from Etsy. Interestingly, these mistakes are pretty random and unpredictable and effected about 75% of my listings with no rhyme nor reason. There are also issues with the formatting of descriptions, so, as a workaround, the past 8 months I was forced to listing everything separately on etsy and then link the listings- which is also difficult because the app is unable to show a thumbnail of the etsy listing when linking, leaving lots of room for human error. It also does not correctly show shipping details the buyer choses at checkout when pushing the order through to Etsy- like it wont tell you the buyer chose Priority mail, if they did, once the order gets pushed through to Shopify.

I am still using the Ebay connect, but there are also issues there regarding item specifics. The app creates duplicate policies on ebay with a sku at the end and when I contacted support about this they denied the app is doing that. I have no reason to create duplicate policies with a sku and no listings attached to them. The app also deleted all the item specifics I had on ebay and there is no workaround for that in the app, other then entering them all again on the app itself, which doesnt include all the specifics Ebay is asking for, especially regarding jewelry. It also removed variants from 5 of my tumbled stone listings (of which I have nearly 200 working just fine with their variants) and have been trying to work with support on this issue for over a MONTH with no fix in sight other than random pulling at straws- seriously some of the most asinine "ideas", like changing the variation name, or the category, or the title, which doesn't make sense as I have 200 other listings, listed exactly the same way, in the same category, and they are integrated and working just fine.
I am going to try waiting it out a little longer with the Ebay connect side in hopes that these issues will be straightened out, but I do know theres another great app out there, the one I was using before trying Marketplace connect, that I will be returning to if this doesn't get sorted out soon.

App was working great, then they changed something forcing it to now send Walmart orders to Shopify with sale tax. According to their knowledge base and all documentation, it should not do this, because Walmart collects and pays tax.

So we are now stuck doing manual adjustments for tax on every order to ensure we don't double pay tax. The app has become unusable.

Tier 1 chat support acknowledge the bug but then moved to email where the dev team was going to work on resolution. However, decided not to do anything about it. They won't say anything more than "This is how it works" and wont escalate or assist in any way.

Support is simply ignoring the bug that they know exists.

We're trying to find a 3rd party app that will work. This doesn't!

Despite having 24/7 customer service available via chat, I am yet to receive any resolution to the issues I am facing. The responses I get are limited to a single email per day, either requesting additional information or stating that I will be updated on the progress. The core issue is a SKU mismatch on all the items. If you are trying to run a serious e-commerce business, this platform may not meet your needs. I was informed that my case was forwarded to an engineering team that appears to be non-existent. very disappointed !

After investigation we found out that our inventory with Amazon is not sync correctly. Contacted support and they said that they only update inventory when Shopify have quantity updated, but if order placed on Amazon directly then they don't update quantity on Shopify unless you turn on order sync as well. Now we have to process inventory count to fix quantity that wasn't updated, and it's hours of work.

It doesn't work properly.
I have connected my Shopify with eBay account and some of the items on Shopify have sold out but they are still showing as available on eBay.
I have deactivated an item on Shopify and manually removed it from eBay as it did not get removed automatically and it kept getting re-listed for some reason so I had to keep removing it until I was forced to permanently remove the listing from Shopify to stop it from being re-listed on eBay

If you are just getting started, don't use this app!!! It's a normal nightmare to sync it with Amazon and eBay if you haven't configured your products on Shopify (nobody will tell you that) - It's definitely not newbie recommended and not as straight forward as they want you to think it is.

Until today (23/08/2024) I haven't been able to send a single product from Shopify to Amazon - there's always an error somewhere! Not great!
