Merchants highly recommend this app for diversifying product offerings, especially in footwear and custom items, which boosts revenue. It features a user-friendly interface with helpful video tutorials and offers Express shipping and simultaneous style design capabilities. High-quality mockups and excellent customer support, including personal Skype calls, are also praised. Continuous updates and new product additions keep the platform fresh, making it a game-changer in e-commerce.

I'm feeling unhappy with this app. Many orders still in transit, even no tracking update after 30, 45, even 60 days. So much impact to business. Terrible.
Used this app for around 2-3 years and all was perfect, but last 4-5 months it's a pain in the ass.
Support replies in 2-3 days. With a response that they will send the email to the production then other 2-3 days for the response from them. Orders not shipped even in 2 weeks after ordering. Clients very unhappy and leaving bad reviews or refunds.
I have been using Pillow Profits for a few years and i stopped selling anything from them 2 months ago. The customer service is HORRIBLE. They don't send what is ordered then tell you they will give a credit only and not a refund. I will be forced to file a paypal claim for thousands of dollars worth of products. My customers are mad at me and calling me a scammer because of Pillow Profits. The products I ordered as DHL and FE Ex orders are shipped china post without any refund or notice and things from March are still not here as of 7/13. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY.
We used Pillow Profits for 3 years and pulled them a couple of months ago. It wasn't the pandemic, but that their customer service was just inflexible and rude most of the time. We had given them a second chance and done more than $100k in orders. For the most part, their items are decent, but their prices aren't competitive with several other brands that have better customer service. Shipping times BEFORE the pandemic were not consistent. Sometimes items arrived in 2 to 3 weeks and other times it took 5 weeks. If they want to continue to successfully work with US merchants, they will need to change their system a bit. Response times aren't great. And just overall not fun to work with. You can see, whomever is responding to poor reviews also has a very standoffish and aggressive way of handling constructive criticism. It's basically the same attitude you will get when dealing with their customer service with orders.
We have found much more success and profits with other companies.
I did not install the application, I contacted the support, but they did not respond
UPDATE July 11th:
Here is an example of a recent transaction I am trying to get corrected due to PP sending the wrong color shoe – twice. Despite me asking for shoes they keep offering a refund as “We are afraid that our production team might again missed the details due to volumes of orders that are lining up and they are dependent with the information that is showing in the system.” – this is VERY VERY VERY concerning if they cannot process an order to correct an error their system has generated. We are now verging on incompetence - I'll let you be the judge.
June 10 – I advised PP that customer received the wrong colour shoe again
June 17 – PP emailed: “We will further investigate this with our facility. We will circle back the soonest time we get the response from them.”
June 19 – PP emailed: “Would it be possible to send the picture of both items that your customer received (Old and new order). Our facility needs it for reference.”
June 24 – I obtained photos from customer and sent to PP
June 30 - PP emailed: “Thank you for the pictures. Our sincerest apology for the inconvenience this may have caused you. We would like to ask if a refund would be amendable to compensate the order. We are afraid that if we are going to process a replacement, our facility might missed to it again due to volumes of orders.”
June 30 – advised PP the customer wants the shoes they ordered asap and not a refund.
July 3rd – I asked PP for an update as have heard nothing
July 9th – I asked PP for an update as have heard nothing
July 11th – PP emailed: “We have received the request for the order. We are afraid that our production team might again missed the details due to volumes of orders that are lining up and they are dependent with the information that is showing in the system. This was also the reason that the replacement was also missed.”
Original Review:
I have no issues with the app itself. There has been one or two times where it wasn't uploading new designs but 24 hours later was fine. BUT, using the PP app you're designs will end up on one of these two sites:
https://merchfactory.store/
https://merchfactory.sale/
I have raised it with them multiple times and nothing has been done (in fact it was initially said that it was my fault). I have uploaded designs to PP App and then imported to my store but then did not make the product live. I've then seen that same design in one of the above 2 stores. PP denied any security issues. I emailed PP again only last week and still no reply. There is either a security issue with the app between a store and PP app, or PP and the factories they use in China (which i wont name here). Pillow Profits, you need to get this fixed.
Update (June): rating downgrade to 1 star. During April as shipping started to get impacted I started to utilize the option in the PP app to upgrade the shipping for each order to express shipping (this was before PP automatically put them on express and raised prices). What i didn't notice at the time (and PP were oblivious to this aswell) was any Canvas Low/high tops that were black toe/sole were somehow changing to white when shipping was upgraded. I raised this with PP and was initially being told i was doing something wrong on my end. I provided them with video showing it happening they finally said there was a glitch. They then agreed that if the wrong show color was sent out because of this glitch they would rectify if we got photo evidence from the customer. This initially worked for the first 4 or 5 pairs of shoes that needed to be replaced but now I am waiting literally weeks for these exchange requests to be actioned ...and then it can take weeks again for the production of the replacement shoe. Meanwhile customers are flipping out firstly because they got the wrong shoe, and then secondly because the replacement is taking so long. i have one request i sent on May 7th ....still not in production. followed up June 6th, 14th, 22nd and nothing. I have another from April 10th and still not in production. When I look at all the shoes that have needed to be replaced, they are averaging 4 weeks from my request to PP to the item being noted as shipped. PP , you're starting to drop the ball badly.
Short: DO NOT USE WITHIN EU!
Kurzfassung: Nicht nutzbar in der EU!
We are using PP for more than 2 years. During this time we have faced several improvements but also some major downsides. The quality of their products is most often average. From time to time, the factory has quality issues and you are recieving a higher than average amount of complaints. Shipping times are average with express, but not very comfortable. The major downside is, that PP is not providing proper customs & duties documents and they are switching express carriers without notice. They also don't take care of mail agreements they made before. If you are selling to the EU, you or your customer will face massive issues with customs & duties. They are not willing to change this and threatening to ban your account when insisting on improvements.
Wir haben PP mehr als 2 Jahre genutzt. In dieser Zeit haben wir verschiedene Verbesserungen, aber auch Nachteile erfahren. Die Qualität der Produkte ist durchschnittlich, es gibt Spitzenzeiten mit extremen Qualitätsschwankungen. Dazu kommt es, dass die Lieferzeiten stark schwankend sind. Im Bereich Zoll & Versand ist PP leider nicht auf dem Stand der Zeit und hat keine Prozesse für den Versand in die EU. Dieser Anbieter ist klar auf den US Markt ausgerichtet. Das führt dazu, dass entweder der Shopbetreiber und / oder der Kunde massive Probleme mit dem Zoll haben. Es gibt schlichtweg keine akzeptablen und guten Zolldokumente und damit ist der Ärger vorprogrammiert. Zudem mussten wir erfahren, dass man sich nicht auf Vereinbarungen via e-Mail verlassen kann. Besteht man darauf, wird gedroht den Account zu sperren.
Their customer service is terrible. Ask a question, I get a non-answer and a video to watch. There is no phone number to call. It' s taken 6 months to get a sample ordered.
Such a pity!
You would be forgiven for thinking that subscribing to Pillow Profits $30 per month club fee for over a year and a half, regardless of how many sales you have or have not made, that you might at least be communicated with like a valued longterm paying subscriber to their app and business.
Unfortunately not.
When we receive replies to our communications they are abrupt, indifferent and robotic. These guys are stone cold when it comes to their support style and they seem to find it unthinkable to assist you with good spirit and be reasonable and helpful.
We really loved these guys and their products right from the beginning. We have enjoyed watching these guys go from strength to strength over the last 2 years. They really do have an awesome app and products.
But their support style and attitude towards us just leaves a bitter taste every time.
Unsubscribing and deleting now.
Such a pity.
Tracking code still no active since 2 months ago!
None ship supplier!
Please beware of this vendor! Open the case on Paypal to get a refund
