Shopify Apps

Topic summary

A merchant is seeking alternatives to Stock Sync after experiencing critical failures with the app over a 2-year period. The main issues include:

Primary Problems:

  • Stock Sync archived 500 unrelated products without authorization
  • Price synchronization failures showing wildly different prices compared to supplier spreadsheets (screenshot provided)
  • Poor customer support that only refers to self-help articles
  • Recent incident where 7,000+ products disappeared from store after a support meeting

Suggested Alternatives:

  • Simple Inventory: Manual CSV upload starting at $2.99/month (now $5.99/month), faster performance, responsive CEO support
  • Ablestar Bulk Product Editor: Inventory Sync feature supporting Dropbox/Google Drive/FTP/URL with custom scheduling, free version available
  • EZ Inventory: Supports FTP/SFTP and URL feeds (not email)
  • FlexSync: Free version for small stores with 24/7 live support

Stock Sync Response:
The founder (jorhan) acknowledged issues were configuration-related (unmapped price fields) and offered direct support meetings. However, multiple users report ongoing problems including unauthorized inventory changes and unresponsive support.

Status: Discussion remains open with frustrated merchants sharing similar experiences and seeking reliable alternatives.
