Sofortig: Australia Dropship , 21 reviews

This app is a big help in importing stock, but it fails to find a number of products. They are on the dropshipzone site, but searching for them in sofortig just gives the message "No Product". This is extremely disappointing. The app has also been producing a number of errors "connect ENETUNREACH 3.105.169.68:443 - Local (0.0.0.0:0)" which prevents me from logging on or if I am in the app, it will prevent me continuing with what I am doing, and more recently "server instance pool was destroyed". It would appear that some work is needed on the back end of this application to make it more stable and useful. UPDATE: This app continues to disappoint. Inventory is not updating on several products and I have customers ordering products that are not available, because they haven't been updated. If I go to the inventory section they don't even show as having tried to update. Several products will NOT update price and again this is a problem when customers order them. I am tearing my hair out trying to make this work.

Hi Im have trouble with the status code 500, and not letting me log in. are you able to help please.

Product inventory doesn't update despite the products being bound in Shopify. This is extremely embarrassing when people are ordering products I don't have stop of... when You have to go and manually update cost prices, so my customer ended up buying below my cost price causing me to lose money. Seems only email support is available, can't phone and get actual support!! Nightmare

For some reason Sofortig does not update my inventory, even though they are connected to Shopify and have an app. Instead, I get a CSV file emailed to me every day - which is NOT made in the Shopify approved .csv format, so it is completely useless. I have to manually change my stock quantities every single day! The stock on hand on their .csv file does not match the stock on hand on their website, which shows 2 different stock levels depending on where you are on their site at the time. Also, I cannot find Sofortig as an option in my Shopify shipping settings, so I have had to create a separate supplier profile, which makes it more difficult & time consuming. But my biggest problem is this one: I sent them an email last week to ask why many of their 'wholesale' products I have imported cost me almost DOUBLE than that of retail prices offered to the public from Officeworks and Harvey Norman. And why they quote the RRP as being up to 3 times higher than retail actually is. They haven't responded after 3 days. So if I don't get a reply & an explanation soon I will publish the prices here. I have also made a formal complaint to Shopify.

The app is useless. It cannot link my existing products which I have already imported using CSV. On top, it is confusing to use. I'd rather stay and use my macros to update stock and data rather than relying on this app. Also there is 0 support from the developer. Sent them a couple of mails but no response. Oh and did you know that Dropshipzone sells their own products on ebay and other marketplaces way below the cost price they give to the dropshippers. I wished they could play fair!

product search not loading product search -> petcare. Tried to import 3 products and getting error - "server pool instance killed"

I used this app, so that the stock on the store is always up to date. But only after 2 days, we realised that the app is not updating the stock. Its showing the items as in stock on the app, but actually they are out of stock on the website. Its really upsetting, that the core purpose of the app is not fulfilled.
Also, the app takes over the shipping rules for the store. So if you have multiple vendor, as we do, sofortig shipping rules are visible for all products across different vendors. This is clearly not the right use case. Sofortig shipping rules should only apply for products which are managed by that app, and not for all vendors. We already lost shipping cost because sofortig calculated as 0, where as we had to pay the other vendor shipping cost.
Finally, not all the products have Logistic weight. It could be a bug or its intentional. But it would be hard to understand how the shipping charges are calculated for products with logistic weight as 0.
This app really needs some working. As it stands, its not fit for purpose.

I got really excited to use this app as i thought the products would suit my store.
I uploaded a number of products and then thought id check the market value of them to organise my pricing.
it seems as if this app is designed to make retail price sales for a 3rd party from your website and make $5-$10 profit yourself(if that when shipping is involved.
an overhaul is needed and i wont come back until pricing is genuine wholesale not retail market value minus $10
