Business Warning: Our Costly Experience with Syncee – A Case Study in What Not to Use for Supplier Management
As a growing U.S.-based ecommerce business, we made the unfortunate decision to use Syncee for managing product sourcing and supplier connections. What followed was a series of avoidable failures that cost us time, money, and customer trust. We're sharing this feedback as a real business challenge to help others avoid the same mistake.
Key Challenges We Faced:
1. Product Cost Changes After Orders – Daily Financial Losses
Syncee forwards order data to suppliers. However, once the order is placed, suppliers are still able to change pricing, and those changes reflect in the final invoice. This means we were often charged more after a customer had already paid—leading to lost margins and direct financial losses daily.
2. Unverified, Unreliable Suppliers
Syncee allows suppliers to onboard through free, unvetted plans. There’s no quality control, no accountability, and often no guarantee the supplier is legitimate. One supplier shipped the wrong product to our customer and refused to refund us. Syncee refused to intervene or assist.
3. Nonexistent U.S. Support Infrastructure
As a U.S.-based business, we operate during North American business hours. Syncee’s entire support team is EU-based, and there's no live support when we need it. The support process is clunky, reactive, and not aligned with ecommerce urgency.
4. Weeks of Chat Support, No Accountability
After extensive back-and-forth over unresolved issues, we formally requested a meeting between our business team and Syncee’s team. Instead, they continued responding with AI-generated answers—often generic, repetitive, and unhelpful. No real human interaction. No accountability.
5. No Issue Tracking or Escalation Process
There is no proper ticketing system to track problems or escalate them. It’s impossible to monitor the status of ongoing issues, and responsibility is passed around without any resolution. For a B2B platform, this is simply unacceptable.
Business Impact
Operational Disruptions
Customer Complaints
Loss of Revenue
Supplier Disputes with No Resolution
Wasted Time with AI-Driven Support
Final Recommendation:
If you are a serious ecommerce business—especially in the U.S.—we strongly recommend you avoid Syncee. It is not built to support growth-oriented companies with real operational needs.
Our advice: Uninstall Syncee now before it damages your business further or you thinking to build business based on their supplier support.
Hi there,
We’re sorry to read your review. At Syncee, we’re committed to supporting ecommerce businesses with reliable tools and supplier connections, and we’d like to address a few important points.
Syncee works with verified suppliers from around the world. Each supplier is reviewed before being listed, and we provide detailed profiles, ratings, and data to help retailers make informed choices. Our partners are trusted, professional vendors with excellent fulfillment histories. While we cannot control supplier actions, we always do our best to assist with disputes where possible.
It’s important to note that Syncee does not update product pricing in real time. While our system syncs regularly, there may be rare cases when a supplier updates their price between two syncs. If a customer places an order during that window, a price mismatch can occur. To avoid this, we recommend applying a higher profit margin than 10%, as it may not offer enough coverage against supplier-side price changes. Most suppliers include margin suggestions to help you stay protected.
Another effective way to avoid price mismatches is to place wholesale orders in advance. Syncee supports this option as well — you can order products in bulk directly through our platform, ensuring fixed prices and secured stock before listing items in your store. This option is beneficial for growing businesses.
As for support, we responded to your requests according to the coverage included in your subscription. While our team is based in the EU, we serve users globally and are continuously improving our processes, including escalation handling and response tracking.
We’re proud to be a platform trusted by thousands of growing businesses and remain committed to delivering value and transparency to our users.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to our support team. We are here for you.
This app charge your $39.99 right away even when you cancel your subscription to same day and they don't refund back automatically. Therefore this app is a scam and you cannot come in contact with them so you'll have to get your money back.
Hi there,
We're sorry to hear about your frustration. Just to clarify, our app does not offer a free trial currently, which means when a subscription is started, the charge is applied right away for the billing period. In your case, the charge occurred because the subscription had already started before you uninstalled the app.
That said, by uninstalling the app, your subscription was automatically canceled, and you will not be charged again.
We’ve been a trusted app on the Shopify App Store for nearly 10 years and are proud to hold the Built for Shopify badge, which is only awarded to apps that meet high performance and support standards.
If you have any further questions or need help, feel free to reach out to our support team — we're always happy to assist!
Very disappointed i had seven days trial period after seven days automatically charged me $99 didn't even charged me charged my wife's account and I have no idea how you guys did it she is so gutted unbelievable before seven days I deleted this app but you guys charged me I still have free period with new plan even though I didn't automatically authorised you
Hi there,
We’re sorry to hear about your experience. After checking your account, we found that the plan you started was part of a $1/month for 3 months promotional offer following a 3-day free trial—not a $99 charge. The standard price of your chosen plan is $39.99/month after the promo. If you check your Shopify Billing page, you can see the app charges and that our application has a 1 USD monthly fee at the moment for you. Based on this, it seems the charge and review may not be related to our app, Syncee Collective Dropshipping. If you have any questions, we’re here to help.
I signed up without realizing it. I thought it was a free trial. Turns out it was a $99 mistake as they charged me because I was one day late figuring it all out.
Not intuitive, not helpful, waste of time. Also, it took forever for them to answer simple questions, ones I had to ask several times. Steer clear.
Post script your poor response times and you're confusing. Sign up procedures cost me a hundred bucks. Keep up the good work.
Hi there,
Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear about your experience. You started a free trial, which lasted for 14 days. When starting the trial, the terms were clearly outlined. Since the trial ended and unfortunately the plan wasn’t canceled before its expiration, the charge was applied. Our team works diligently to respond to all inquiries as quickly as possible, but we apologize if our response time didn’t meet your expectations. If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out via in-app chat or email—we’re happy to assist.
Syncee provided horrible customer service. It's a small team if you look at their website. When I had my issue, I kept asking them to escalate. Basically, they passed me off to their friend 2 times (Sarah -> Peter -> Richard). When I asked to speak with the CEO AKOS Gulyas, they told me no. I reached out to Akos directly on Linkedin; no response. If you are selling baby or pet toys, or women's sports bras, maybe this company will work for you. I am creating a website using a niche market. The company advertised that they have distributors/ dropshippers that sell my products. I paid for a year in advance to take advantage of the discounted pricing, as I was looking forward to a long-term relationship with this company. As I started to build my website, and reach out to the various vendors, I discovered that the vendors are no longer in business or do not reply to my emails (bait and switch). I asked Syncee for a refund of the subscription as I was unable to get a vendor to work with. They said the policy is NO REFUNDS but they would look into my situation. Syncee blamed me for paying in advance and said that I should have canceled within the 14 day cancellation period. This is something that I discovered after building my website. So basically the company is promoting that they have vendors to sell your niche product, but the vendors are no longer in business. This is false advertising and a scam. Unfortunately, the company is NOT based in the US but based in Hungary so you can't pursue any legal action. They have good reviews (might be legit or a bot) but them refusing to refund me $288 because they don't properly vet their vendors is sad. Horrible experience and I would not use this company if you are selling a niche. They don't care that they are stealing your money. This should have been a no-brainer to refund me my money. Looking at other negative reviews, many of them are very similar to my situation. Sad experience for a new business owner.
Hi there,
We’re sorry to hear about your experience, nevertheless please let us clarify a few points.
1. We offer a free plan where you can explore the platform, as well as a 14-day trial on our monthly plans to help you decide if Syncee is right for you. The yearly subscription comes with a significant discount but doesn’t include a trial, which is clearly stated upfront.
2. Our support team followed the proper escalation process, and your case was evaluated by a dedicated finance team. It wasn’t a matter of passing your issue between friends.
3. Since you subscribed and accepted our policies, your request for a refund was rejected. This decision was made because you actively used the app, and the products are still available in your store.
4. Our suppliers are vetted and monitored regularly, but we can’t control their communication. However, when issues are reported, we investigate and take necessary actions.
In case of any further questions, please reach out to our support team via chat or email.
I had a very disappointing experience with this service. After signing up for the trial version to evaluate the app, I decided it wasn't for me and canceled the subscription promptly. However, they still attempted to charge me an annual subscription fee.
Despite their claim that there was no trial period and I had to pay for the subscription, I had already canceled. I contacted customer support multiple times, but each time, my issue was passed to the billing department with no proper resolution. To make matters worse, they repeatedly tried to charge me £231 through the Shopify store.
The customer service has been extremely unhelpful and frustrating. I do not recommend this service due to their poor handling of billing issues and lack of effective customer support
Hi there,
We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. We understand your frustration. As our support team already shared, we want to clarify that our refund policy was clearly outlined before your subscription, stating that there’s no free trial or refund for annual plans. A 14-day free trial is only available for monthly subscriptions which information is also accessible within our application.
We apologize for any confusion or inconvenience. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact our friendly support team directly for personalized assistance.
Some of the suppliers listed for dropshipping don't dropship. Pet supplies suppliers to ship in Canada are either too expensive, long lead times, high shipping cost, or poor quality.
Hi there,
We are sorry to read your review. Please contact our support team so we can investigate it further for you, and help you find suitable suppliers, or take those up with the business development team that you saw do not dropship to your location. We have plenty of pet suppliers and would like to check what you experienced more thoroughly. Our support team would be more than happy to help you.
tl/dr: 100% DO *NOT* RECOMMEND
The Syncee website catalog is slow and often unresponsive, and the search function is.... well, dysfunctional. With regard to my situation (searching for vendors who ship from the US to my US customers), a majority of the wholesale vendors I found charge completely unreasonable shipping fees, and many sell the same products on their own consumer-facing websites at better prices for product and shipping. I could go on and on, but save yourself some heartache and 6 hours by looking for a legitimate drop shipping partner.
We’re sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet your expectations. Our goal is to provide a seamless selling experience for all our customers.
We saw that you only used our app less than 1 hour, but sure we understand that it may take some time to familiarize yourself with Syncee's features and functionality.
We've recently implemented significant performance updates to our catalog and search functions to address your concerns, it's important to note that the platform's effectiveness can be greatly enhanced with continued use.
Regarding shipping fees and product pricing, please note that Syncee works with a diverse range of suppliers, each with their own pricing and shipping policies. We encourage users to explore and compare different suppliers to find the best fit for their business. While some suppliers offer competitive rates, shipping costs can vary based on factors like product weight, size, and distance.
We also strive to offer a broad product selection. We hope to have the opportunity to improve your perception of Syncee and look forward to serving you better in the future.
We encourage you to give Syncee another chance and explore its features more thoroughly. Please also note, our support is free, so you can chat with our support team and they can suggest supplier or help you about our features too.
Minussterne kann man leider nicht vergeben. Die App ist nicht in der Lage, Produkte als Entwurf zu importieren. Syncee behauptet ferner, sie würde ihre angebundenen Lieferanten überprüfen. Der Witz war gut. Bereits bei den ersten beiden deutschen Lieferanten ist weder das Impressum vollständig noch sind diese Firmen an ihren gemeldeten Adressen in irgendeiner Art und Weise bekannt, somit Scamfirmen, Briefkastenfirmen wie auch immer. Dafür dann Geld zu nehmen, für eine App die weder unsere Anforderungen erfüllt noch für uns interessante und vor allem seriöse Lieferanten beinhält ist einfach nur frech. Jeder kann Syncee gerne verwenden, für uns ist es sicher keine Option. Was sie sagen und was sie tun, sind zwei paar Stiefel und das hat unser Test mit der App gezeigt. Das erspare ich uns und vor allem unseren Kunden...
Halo,
Vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback. Es tut uns leid zu hören, dass unsere App nicht Ihren Erwartungen entsprochen hat. Wir verstehen, dass es frustrierend sein kann, wenn die App nicht alle spezifischen Anforderungen erfüllt, wie z.B. das Importieren von Produkten als Entwurf. Leider unterstützen wir derzeit nur das Importieren von Produkten als unveröffentlicht oder veröffentlicht, aber nicht als Entwurf.
Bezüglich der Lieferanten möchten wir betonen, dass wir kontinuierlich daran arbeiten, die Qualität und Vertrauenswürdigkeit unserer Partner zu gewährleisten. Wir haben Ihr Anliegen ernst genommen und sind gerne bereit, alternative Lieferanten vorzuschlagen, die besser zu Ihren Anforderungen passen. Wir hoffen, dass Sie sich diese Optionen anschauen werden.
Wir schätzen Ihr Feedback und bedauern, dass unsere App für Ihre Bedürfnisse nicht die richtige Lösung war. Wenn Sie weitere Fragen oder Anliegen haben, stehen wir Ihnen gerne zur Verfügung.
Well as promised to advise you after I have tried the product. Definitely not happy with this program and feel that it is a waste of money.
Lots of hidden fees and other subscriptions and not enough vendors for what my store needs. The vendors I considered like for Men's products/clothes only carry maybe 1 or 2 of the items and not even multiple sizes, very, very limited.
I paid the subscription in full so that I would capture the discount offered. I really had high hopes that Syncee offered exactly what I wanted in my store. But after much vetting of their suppliers, the only companies offering what I want, charge additional subscription fees.
I asked for a refund even though I know it is non refundable, because as stated, in the beginning, the program looked amazing, but then as I dug in further, it is not.
Hi there,
We’re sorry to hear that our app didn’t meet your expectations. We also regret that our supplier selection did not meet your store's needs.
We strive to provide a comprehensive platform and will take your feedback into account for future improvements. Please know that the selection of suppliers is growing daily, so stay tuned for more upcoming brands in your niche. In case of any questions, do not hesitate to reach out to our support team via in-app chat or email. We are here for you.
