The potential of Buddify has all the right ingredients to be a great and wonderful app, possibly a champion in its own right, especially more so as it works so well on the Shopify platform even in its early stages of overall rollout.
Buddify Development Team - please don't overload the app with all sorts of requests just because people ask for it, continue on the path of how to make the app better and simpler in all your developments. This is the potential of what I see about Buddify, hence the 5 star rating - keeping it simple and making it smooth makes for a better app for all. Thank you!
Thank you for your insightful and fantastic review, as well as your valuable feedback. We are delighted to have you as part of the Buddify community.
I initially gave this app a 1 star review (because I had a poor service when I first installed this app), and was contacted by the owners and given an upgrade to try it again, and to rewrite my review. I then gave it 4 stars.
That was a mistake.
I set up my store on this app, with the instructions that were given, at the time (November 2024) and my store was set up so that others could sell my wares, NOT so that I could sell others' wares, as I had intended.
I got busy with Black Friday and end of the year and have just now been able to come back to this app and I see there are 8 "partners" to my store.
The app has better instructions now, and has a guide, including a video, telling you how to get set up with them.
No where on this video did I see that people are to import your listings, which not only copies and pastes photos/videos from your site, but several stores have copied and pasted the descriptions that I painstakingly created myself. This is not okay with me. This can confuse customers, and can severely hurt SEO.
I have now had to contact the owners of these stores requesting them to remove those listings from their stores, only to be told by some store owners - that (1) this is the way Buddify works; (2) that this doesn't hurt SEO and (3) just remove my store from Buddify and that will fix the problem.
None of that is a solution. (1) This should NOT be the way Buddify works, because you should write your own listings. (2) It does hurt SEO and (3) I've contacted support already and awaiting a reply from them, but am not holding my breath.
This is not a good app.
Thank you for acknowledging that Buddify connected you with eight partners genuinely interested in selling your products. That’s the true spirit of Buddify—stores supporting each other's growth.
It seems there may have been some misunderstanding about how the platform works, despite our resources and support. We genuinely strive to help store owners succeed, often without expecting anything in return, as was the case with you.
Thank you for your review!
Thanks a lot for your review! We're very happy to have you as a part of our Buddify community
