BrandsSync | Dropshipping

**USE EXTREME CAUTION BEFORE SUBSCRIBING** I was considering using Brandsdistribution for dropshipping, but I found a serious issue that anyone planning to sell their products should investigate before paying for a subscription. Their shipping information page, linked from the website footer, currently returns an error: https://www.brandsdistribution.com/en/cms/shipping-fee More concerning, when I attempted to place a test order to determine the actual shipping cost, I was not given a shipping price before submitting the reservation request. Instead, the website displayed this message: “By clicking the button above, you will submit your reservation request. Our staff will immediately forward the request to the supplier, who will verify the actual stock availability of the selected products. Within 24 hours, you will be contacted directly by the supplier to receive the final order with: Confirmed quantities Shipping cost quote Available payment methods” For a dropshipping business, this creates a serious problem. You need to know your product cost, shipping cost, and actual stock availability BEFORE your customer places an order. Otherwise, you cannot reliably calculate your selling price or profit margin. If a customer purchases an item from your Shopify store and you only learn afterward what the supplier will charge for shipping, you could potentially discover that the order is unprofitable after you've already collected the customer's payment. I strongly recommend getting clear written answers regarding shipping costs, inventory confirmation, and fulfillment procedures before purchasing an annual subscription or building your store around this service. The product catalog may look attractive, but predictable fulfillment costs are essential for running a dropshipping business profitably.

I installed BrandsSync through the Shopify App Store, but opening it only displays a welcome page with no buttons or way to continue. I can’t access the dashboard or use the app. The setup experience needs fixing.

Very poor customer service. There is no direct communication channel and no response to emails. There is also no tracking information provided for the order, which is still not delivered after 25 days. Despite being marked as "dispatched," I have no idea where the order is or when it will arrive. No updates, no replies. This is extremely frustrating and unprofessional. I will seriously reconsider whether I should continue my subscription or cancel it altogether.

The app integrates seamlessly with Shopify stores, making it easy to import products and automatically create orders, ensuring availability. The process is straightforward and user-friendly, enhancing the overall shopping experience. However, despite its basic integration, the app has room for improvement. One notable issue is that after importing a product, any new sizes that become available are not automatically added to the product variations. Additionally, the app does not save credit card information, which means orders cannot be placed automatically, requiring manual entry each time. The product information provided is quite basic and often riddled with mistakes. It is time-consuming to find accurate manufacturer information to build relevant titles and descriptions for each product. Furthermore, the catalog is not updated consistently, and since the onset of Covid-19, shipping costs have increased by over 500%, making it challenging to remain competitive. Another drawback is that despite having an account with BrandsDistribution, you cannot place orders directly on their site. Instead, you need to request monthly that they manually add order-edit permissions, which is an inconvenient process. In summary, while the BrandsDistribution app offers a seamless integration with Shopify and simplifies the import process, there are significant areas for improvement, particularly in updating product variations, saving payment information, and enhancing product data accuracy. The increase in shipping costs and the cumbersome process of requesting order-edit permissions further detract from the overall user experience.

Comme le commentaire précédent.. je rejoins l'avis des autres utilisateurs et constate les memes problèmes.. Nous avons utilisé leurs services pendant moins d'un an. Plusieurs problèmes dans l'application BrandsSync, la synchronisation et le fait de bug concernant l'import de produit. Contact uniquement par email aucun conseillé au téléphone pour régler des soucis liés a leur application. Attention : Lors du désabonnement de cette application, catastrophe le dernier paiement d'abonnement a été facturé deux fois bien volontairement de leur part (déjà arrivé a d'autres utilisateurs apparement) !!! Apres relance et explication pour bien justifié le problème et l'envoi de nombreux e-mails explicatif avec Shopify, sans succès il campe sur leur position, très peu professionnel lamentable !!! Nous sommes très déçus de leurs traitement, de leur service relationnel non humain. Je ne recommande donc pas cette application perte de temps et d'argent.......

We used their services for about an year, overall was relatively good experience except several glitches in their BrandsSync app, where all products sync was gone and had to delete all products and import them again, which is too much effort for us. However out last subsription payment was charged twice!!! We sent many emails and tried to reach out brandssync, without any success!!! We are very disappointed from their services, actually no services at all. Do not recommend, we dont plan to use them anymore!

When you upload the products, the app upload different quantity. If you see 20 pieces, you can see ZERO in your shop... what!?

0 support!! I am waiting a week to pay for an order and add the express shipping and no one answers!!! I can't ship the orders I have and causing that losing money.

I am using this application. However, there is no standard for the names of the products and especially the size information. The products do not have sufficient descriptions. It does not have a standard size information for shoes numbers. Some shoe sizes are giving in US sizes, some in UK, and some in EU. For example, the Nike - Wmns-Outburst yakkabi number has been sent to you with the US information, U.S. Polo Assn. - NOBIW4156S9_YS1 EU was sent to you, Adidas - YUNG-1 was sent to you by UK. This is causing confusion in my customers. When I gave this feedback to the company, they were not interested either. Just send us a size chart so that we can see which size up to what size.

I have been working with this application for almost a year, and I can say that it has become much better, more stable, and faster. The interface is improved. I'm surprised that I can control it through my smartphone because it adaptive. However, there are things that I would like to suggest for improvement: 1. resolve the common issue with Shopify 100 variants limit 2. I noticed the another issue - sometimes when BD changing the structure of the product in their website (for example adding or merge new variant) it don't sync with shopify and the product in Shopify still are in old version, so it needed to be deleted and re-imported again. 3. I would prefer to be able to pay for the app in advance (for me would be convenient to be able to pay annually or half annually) but now it offers only monthly payment.

4.5* Good App. Easy to use. Easy to import all products. Only thing I would like is the ability to change/add tags after products have been sync. It says I should delete the entire product catalog in order to make any changes. Please fix this.

Worked with this App for the last 4 month without any issue :-) easy to use with automatic sync of products, just like that.......

The app is well designed in integrating with Shopify. The one and only bug I have encountered so far is that the app seems to be not aware of 100 variants limit per product. So when I enable the option to merge similar variants into one product (why not? it is easier for customers to navigate), some products stuck in product queue. These products are always the products with >100 variants (i.e. sneakers). I hope the developer can make a work around.

Works really well, and updates seamlessly. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to sell branded fashion.
