Review of SPOD/Spread Connect App on Shopify:

The transition from SPOD to Spread Connect has been an absolute disaster for my business. When the app updated, every single one of my products was flagged with a notice stating: “The print area has changed for this product. Please check whether your design’s placement is correct.” I checked each design, and everything appeared to be perfectly aligned. Yet, despite nothing needing correction, I was forced to re-upload every design, description, price, and product detail manually. This has been an incredibly tedious and time-consuming process, especially for those of us with larger catalogs.

Adding to the frustration, customer support is nonexistent. I’ve been calling their customer service all day, multiple times, during their stated hours, and no one answers. Relying solely on email to address urgent issues—like needing to cancel or adjust a product—is impractical and frustrating. Clear communication and accessible support are vital for a business-critical app like this, and Spread Connect has completely failed in that regard.

This experience has been nothing short of a nightmare. The lack of consideration for users’ time, the disruption to my store, and the absence of responsive support have made this app unusable. I cannot recommend Spread Connect to anyone looking for a reliable print-on-demand service on Shopify. Stay far away unless you want to risk hours of lost productivity and unresolved issues.

I will say some of the things are useful But I have to agree with alot of the posts its a pain staking process to set up the shipping and your help file is not at all helpful. The way you have your shipping rates are very frustrating cause price should not be the determining factor for shipping. Either set up shipping integration or get rid of cost based shipping cause that is a nightmare to set up in shopify. especially when you have so many different products.

Haven't had a problem yet. Very nice job!
One note, check spelling on your big banner ad asking us if we like SDOD.
Would also be super nice if the names of colors were capitalized so I don't have to change every one in Shopify. Thanks!

They ship out quickly, but my customers are constantly receiving the wrong items. Many times items we do not even sell! Their turn around times are great, but their quality control is severely lacking!

I Love the ease of use of this app I upload my content, then order samples and inventory for my little shop! It's also way easy to create a listing for my non local customers to order and have their choices drop shipped to them. great app.

Been using them for a couple years and at this point only use them for one item because their prints wash off after a few washes for most of their items. Love the actual hoodie garment itself. High quality! I just wish their print was more consistent.
