Makes it easy to get your Shopify inventory into Whatnot. That's where the good part of this app ends. It also imports your Shopify shipping profiles without any way to stop that. And there was no indication that would happen either. My first show had all the shipping costs totally F'd up as a result and likely cost me bidders and ultimately money as everyone was charged too much for shipping. The toggle to import orders into Shopify doesn't seem to work. I have it off, orders from Whatnot still imported into my Shopify after the show. As a result they also imported into PirateShip and clogged up my view with all the orders that I actually need to post from Whatnot. Looks like I will have to get rid of this app and just manually list stuff going forward.
Doesn't support Shopify Market, so if you live in Canada and your store default is in US, it won't work, they will force you to change your default currency, which doesn't make sense, or will tell you to setup a new store. They need to implement Shopify Market API to their app.
Installed it just to write a review ... Claude can create an MCP to do all of this with whatnot.. SO your 11% fee just convinced me to do just that.
I had my whatnot account first and wanted to upload my inventory to Shopify and apparently it does not work the other way around. Can't use it if it doesn't work in both directions. Who's the genius that purposely didn't do that feature?
