Merchants highly recommend this app for its robust integration and synchronization capabilities across multiple Shopify stores, essential for efficient inventory management and real-time updates. It's praised for user-friendliness and significant time savings in managing products. The responsive customer support enhances user experience, while its ability to handle large volumes of SKUs and adapt to product changes is particularly valued. Continuous improvements based on merchant feedback are also appreciated.

What a terrible app. Just does not work properly and support is so slow.
Syncing inventory works properly but everything else is a mess.
Payouts are giving totally rubbish numbers. For example an order for $129 is showing on Payouts as $15,000 and $2,000 commission when it should be $129 and $10. Complained about this one month and they fixed it. Next month all the payouts are messed up again.
Can't even sort out showing the correct currency symbol everything labelled in $ regardless of the actual currency.
If you look on there system for work they are doing, things have been on there for months and years but nothing ever appears on the actual app.
They expect the destination store to set all the commission rates... Errr hello thats for the source store to do surely. Not created by people that have actually tried to use it themselves
There is clearly ZERO actual development going on.
What you get is a very pretty interface with very little substance and just a load of headaches.
Has the potential to be a fantastic app but it is NOT fit for purpose.
I've only stuck with it so long because I can't find any alternative... But after a couple of years i've decided enough is enough.
Update after reply from Syncio
You say it's fixed but my June 2025 payouts are still all wrong with massive numbers???
I get that you created the app for your own needs, but as you are charging for it thats no excuse for not making it work. You have expected us to pay for it. I reiterate that things have been on your "working on log" for years without seeing changes on the app.
I don't think my review is harsh - I'm just trying to put an honest review out there.
I would love to discuss it with you if you want to make the effort to discuss. I've asked for a call or on-line meeting before and been ignored.
Hi,
Tough feedback, but we appreciate it, as that's how we get better. What you experienced with the wrong numbers is not good enough - it seemed to be an isolated experience for your store, but nonetheless it shouldn't happen, and it shouldn't have happened again. That's totally fair.
For some of the other points you made, I just want to give our side - I built Syncio initially to help a marketplace that we used to run - all the features that you see in Syncio today came from what we needed in our marketplace - that includes Payouts. From the marketplace days, it was us (the destination store) that set the commission rates, so thats why it is designed as it is. Of course, that is not how every business likes to run it, but I just wanted to clarify that - Syncio was created by Shopify merchants - we are not just app developers.
The other thing I want to add is that it is not accurate that we do not improve Syncio - our universal store release, marketplace, upgraded order syncing to handle paid and unpaid orders, have all been recent upgrades.
Those aren't excuses, just another side. In terms of the incorrect numbers that you encountered with Payouts - we are truly sorry about that, and need to improve on how we handle these types of issues, and get better on that.
If you ever consider having a look at Syncio again, please reach out to me directly (the support team will connect you with me) and I will run through Syncio and the features and improvements that we're working on, and see if it's a fit for you.
Kind regards,
Jimmy
We installed Syncio a long time ago to sync with another store. But we always had issues with inventory being out of sync. Along the way, through trial and error, we discovered the reasons for inventory being out of sync depended on a range of things including the ways stock were entered back into inventory, how exchanges were processed etc at both the source and destination stores. It would drive our staff insane having to notify customers that we were in fact out of stock of an item.
We put up with these things for a long time, but then when they changed their plans to include billing for source stores that was the final straw. The 'free threshold' is extremely low. They also charged us twice during the same period. We only noticed it because we were looking at the costs of Syncio vs other apps at the time. We reached out and they confirmed this and have applied a credit, but had we not have noticed we wouldn't have received anything. We have since switched to another app which does what we need it to do and is much cheaper.
Hi,
Thanks for the feedback, it's greatly appreciated. We've supported your stores through the years, and despite the issues that you've encountered, we hope that overall, Syncio has played a small role in the tremendous growth you've had in this period.
The double charge is absolutely a mistake on our end - that's a huge apology on us and we have credited you back. As for our price update - we had to do this in order to stay sustainable and keep improving Syncio. Amongst many price pressures, we are also based in Australia like you.
I'm happy that you have found another app - if that turns out to not work out as you have expected, please give Syncio consideration - we'd love to help your business again.
Kind regards,
Jimmy
Great product. It saves so much time, and you are always confident that you don't sell anything your supplier does not have by accident. All it needs is a connection to Apple pay so you can pay your suppliers while on the move via you phone.
App works very well. Very helpful customer service when you run into issues
Claudia was amazing! Took the time to truly
listen to what I was trying to accomplish and helped me step by step!
We compared several inventory-syncing apps, and Syncio was the only one app that met the niche-specific requirement. The customer support team is exceptional and the responses were very fast. They even set up some customizations for us. Highly recommended!
Syncio is the perfect app for seamless integration between stores. We have used Syncio for years now with our drop shipping retailers and it's always been super easy to use, with great customer service if we've ever needed any assistance. Would highly recommend!
Isaac was super helpful. Im operating 2 stores and needed more detail on how to properly connect ... very thorough and knowledgable with assisting the process. Thank you so much, I look forward to using this app!
Disgusting app! It literally deleted all the product pages from the store and even tampered with the inventory of the source store, which was not supposed to be affected. Please never use this app!
Hi,
We're sorry to hear about your experience. We'd love to get in contact with you to get more information as there are a couple things about Syncio in regards to your review:
1. Syncio can delete products on the destination store, one-way is when you disconnect your source store, you get a prompt to 'disconnect and delete' products from the destination store.
2. Syncio cannot change the inventory of the source store unless it came from an order from a destination store. From our records, it would seem unlikely this happened due to your stores being test stores at the moment.
Our contact is support@syncio.co. We'd love to speak to you to see what happened but also importantly get your stores connected correctly. We have 10K+ Shopify merchants, including thousands of Shopify Plus merchants that are happy with Syncio. We're confident that you can too.
Kind regards,
Jimmy
Syncio has been an absolute game-changer for our business. We’ve worked hard to create partnerships with other organizations to offer a mutual product-sharing and bundling strategy, and Syncio has been central to making this collaboration seamless. It enables us to offer enhanced bundled discounts and shared product listings, providing customers with a much broader range of options while driving increased sales for everyone involved.
The app is easy to set up and makes syncing inventory across different stores effortless and incredibly efficient, saving us countless hours of manual updates while keeping our stock levels accurate and in real-time.
Customer support has been top-notch, with quick responses and helpful guidance whenever we’ve had questions. A special shout-out to Claudia, who has always been quick to assist us—her dedication to customer satisfaction really stands out. It’s clear the Syncio team is focused on making a positive impact, and that resonates with us.
If you're managing multiple Shopify stores or collaborating with other businesses, Syncio is a must-have for seamless product syncing, increased sales, and stronger partnerships. Highly recommend!
Thanks so much for your thoughtful review! This is the type of validation that provides so much motivation for us. I know that Claudia has worked tirelessly and to hear your shoutout means the world to her and us!
Cheers,
Jimmy
