i used it in google merchant about 2 years. after cancelling the subscription they took over my google account and locked me out. google told me contact them to release ownership of my account and they never complied. google cant help because i gave them access now they are the sole owner and they refuse to give me access to my account, pretending that they don’t know what google talking about.

Hi there we just started working with this plug-in and we love it! We do have a problem with connecting to google, it returns a 403. any ideas how to fix this?

After multiple rounds of talking with support, they’ve now told me it doesn’t support ShipStation for integration. It is not passing back tracking information to Amazon, so you need to enter it manually for every order. This plugin does a good job of pulling orders into WooCommerce and updating the status back to Amazon, but in order to be a full solution, it would need to support ShipStation (and other popular shipping platforms) and be able to pass tracking information back to Amazon.

Let’s start out with the good….. Customer support has a pretty fast response time. Now on to the bad- We were able to figure out how to use this plugin, but we’re technically genius level merchants. Other folks might have a harder go of it, though Codisto does offer some pretty ok training videos. It’s quite a complicated plugin setup. You will have to know a lot about database maintenance (if you’re using WooCommerce) and the pricing…. Let’s talk about the pricing…. So, the 2nd level tier option costs resellers $720/year just to list products on eBay or Amazon, both of which are going to charge you commission on top of that. eBay has insertion fees of $.35 per listing plus they take 12.9% seller commission. Amazon charges 15% commission plus either $1 per sale or $40 per month depending on your seller account. We resell items with typically a 10-25% profit margin with means after we’ve paid everyone, we’re making almost nothing no matter what Codisto plan we choose. As a business owner, I’m not comfortable makeing the least out of everyone at the table. But that’s just me. Combine that with the overload this plugin places on the web browser, it’s shipping policy limitations, the plugin defaults every physical good to free, 1 Day fulfillment (still pretty pissed about that), and it truncated all our product listing names (even cutting off words so ‘Download’ reads as ‘Downl’) leading to more work managing customer questions than we actually made in profit, and this is a pretty poor plugin for the money. The verdict? Use WP-Lister for free. It’s clunky but the support is about as good as Codisto and they won’t rob you blind. Plus you’ll have much greater control over your listings templates and profile if you don’t know HTML. We decided to go with a 2 star review because the support folks we chatted with were very courteous and helpful, even if they work for a company with an overpriced, market gouging product.

I sign up an just trying to test out on my woocommerce and in a week I get a bill for over $300!! They not only billed me twice for monthly fees but then they billed me a fee for every sale I made on my websites (that are all connected with other apps). They said they are entitled to a percentage of all my sales. I did not even use this app for these sales!! These sales were not a result of this crappy app but they still charged my credit card over $300. If don’t want to lose over $300 in one week I would avoid CODISTO! I plan to make sure people know about this everywhere I can so they don’t have to lose over $300 like I have.

After initially trying to get the plugin to work I gave up on using it. Support was good but ultimately nothing worked after trying for about a week, so i gave up on it. I’ve since given it another go to find out that my “two week free trial” on this ‘free’ item listed on woocommerce.com has expired and that I will need to pay the monthly fee to see if this thing is worth using. Its a less than ideal way of trying to get anyone to trial a plugin. If you go for that lower priced plan they will also take a percentage of each sale, which on top of what amazon take will cut your own profit margin. I would love to give this plugin another go but the limited trial period and percentage take on sales is a no sale for me.
