If you’re considering this app, save yourself the frustration. It’s a waste of time, money, and effort, with nothing but broken promises in return.

The core features are completely unreliable. Pricing is inaccurate, costs don’t sync, and basic functions fail to operate as promised. While it does allow product uploads, you’re essentially paying extra for a service you already have access to, and the added features don’t even work as they should.

This app has been one of the biggest disappointments I’ve ever experienced. Do not buy into there shop in a box. No matter how much time or money I put into it, it never worked properly.

Customer support responds quickly, but that’s about it. They acknowledge issues and promise to escalate them, but nothing actually gets resolved. It’s just an endless cycle of waiting with no results.

Thank you for your review. These are brand-specific data issues which are not under our control. For example, the cost issue that you mentioned is due to the brand coding from the distributor. We have notified them and included an override in our app to correct it. We also notified the manufacturer about invalid image URLs. Our app relies on accurate data from the distributors and catalogs. We recommend that you reach out to the manufacturers when you run into these types of issues. Or if you prefer, contact support and we can advocate on your behalf.

For the past year, I have been paying $199.99 per month for Slingshots services and $99.00 per month for Turn 14 apps services to import our data and catalogs from Atech Motorstate and Wheel Pros. Unfortunately, despite these efforts, no products have been successfully added to our website. While we do have SEMA data on the backend, it should not hinder the importation process. We are also confronting numerous challenges, including broken links, unindexed pages, and a variety of other technical issues. Even if you click and check out the sites that give positive reviews for the most part they have the same issues. Look them on your mobile device poor placement, extended load times, random other script issues.

I am actively seeking resolution with Slingshot and will provide updates on our progress. As of December 4, 2024, they have consistently ignored our requests for communication and support. Moreover, they conditioned their assistance upon the removal of a negative review. We have incurred expenses exceeding $5,000 for their services, and they recently communicated via email that they would cease working with us and recommended that we find an alternative vendor.

As of December 6, 2024, they suspended our account without prior notice. Currently, I am collaborating with a capable developer and have identified that, despite my careful exclusions of specific brands and collections from our site, their system continues to upload excessive amounts of unwanted data and products. This situation remains ongoing, and I will provide updates as necessary. Should you have any inquiries regarding their services, please do not hesitate to contact us directly at our shop +1 508 857 5858.

Thank you for your review. Please check the Products tab in your Shopify admin to see your products. URLs are set when the products are created and can be tailored using the Enhancements tab (for example, to add the manufacturer name or MPN for SEO purposes). Page indexing is not something that Shopify provides but you can use Google Analytics to get better insight into your SEO.

Versatile platform with flexibility to add or modify brand listings. Very impressed with the layout of the catalogs and response rate of the product syncs. Experienced one connection delay with a distributor, hindering products from syncing. The Data Here to There team quickly stepped in to alleviate the broken connection, effectively doing the job of the distributor for them. Needless to say the API subscription fee the distributor was getting is now going where it belongs each month.

Hello,

Thank you for your kind words! We really appreciate you taking the time to leave such a great review. We have been working hard to improve Slingshot over the past year or so, and have made many enhancements, as well as adding several new distributors and catalog data sources. We will continue working on the UI and UX, as well as adding to the documentation. Ask us if you ever want to receive the latest version of the User Guide.

We're a fan of 10 Second Racing. All the best as you continue to grow your business!
