Shopify Marketplace Connect

If I could leave zero stars, I would.

The problem is not just the support; it's the app itself. I've spent weeks dealing with Marketplace Connect issues that continue to impact my business, sales channels, and ability to operate effectively. Even after extensive troubleshooting, product cleanup, variant cleanup, and countless hours of my own time, the issues remain unresolved.

What's most frustrating is that the app appears to struggle with stale data, outdated mappings, synchronization issues, and lingering references to products or variants that no longer exist. In today's technology environment, I would expect a Shopify-supported marketplace integration to have better tools for clearing old data, refreshing mappings, rebuilding catalogs, and identifying synchronization conflicts. Other platforms and applications offer these capabilities, so it's difficult to understand why Marketplace Connect continues to struggle with them.

Unfortunately, the support experience has made the situation even worse. Instead of receiving meaningful assistance, I've spent weeks being sent in circles, answering the same questions repeatedly, and receiving little to no actionable guidance. Only one support representative appeared knowledgeable and genuinely interested in helping solve the problem. Everyone else seemed focused on repeating troubleshooting steps rather than driving the case toward a resolution.

As a small business owner, this is not a minor inconvenience. I have lost valuable time, delayed marketing campaigns, delayed marketplace growth, and experienced a significant impact on my ability to generate sales. Every day these issues remain unresolved affects my business.

What is especially disappointing is that Shopify actively promotes this app and associates it with its platform. As a merchant, I expect better reliability, better escalation procedures, better communication, and better technical support. Instead, I've been left managing the problem largely on my own.

The app needs significant improvement. The support organization needs significant improvement. More importantly, merchants need real solutions, not endless loops of questions and unresolved tickets.

This app is good when it work but all of sudden it cannot connect eBay. Customer support looked at the issue 3 weeks but still cannot come up with a resolution. This is affecting the daily operation badly when something just doesn't work all of sudden and without a fast resolution. I am disappointed and 1 star is giving to the support team.

Does what you need it to do... usually.

The main problems we have with this app:
- Doesn't properly sync inventory: this is a huge one because ebay will penalize you for cancelling an order for being out of stock

- You have to navigate to certain pages in a certain order for functionality to work. For example, going to a product in shopify then hitting "view in marketplace connect" works to get you to that page. But functionality like listing or delisting the product? That tends to break unless you go to listings, search the product and then get there that way.

Very finnicky and while support is responsive, they're mostly just reading off a script and it takes a lot of back and forth before you get competent help.
