Convectional provides the thoughtful, well designed automation and integrations we are looking for to keep up in the fast-paced world of e-commerce so we can spend more time with customers and creating products for them and not on admin work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not all of our buyers are on Convictional yet. But we look forward to switching them over and showing them the benefits to their business. Convictional has a wonderful team that also reaches out and helps onboard buyers and sellers on behalf of their customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Convictional has been incredibly easy to integrate into our systems. I appreciate that the orders are transferred into our shopify and our employees can easily print and ship orders. We had previously partnered with another business using a similar b2b product. The platform became such a pain point for our employees and systems that we ended up severing the business relationship due to its bottleneck. I was apprehensive about accepting another drop shipping account using a 3rd party platform, but we have all been pleasantly surprised with Convictional! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We had one hiccup in inventory registering across all platforms, but it was addressed quickly with the Convictional team. They were able to walk us through and troubleshoot quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Products sync right to our retailers shopify - no need for PIM. Orders come right through our store for easy and fast fulfillment. Great support team (real humans) at Convictional to ensure that the platform meets our needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish that Convictional could sync products to our retailer without it having to be active. I know that there is a way to do this through meta fields, but I need some research in meta fields! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We use Convictional to grow our brand in a marketplace setting. We love the integration and how easy it is for us to manage orders. Orders pop up as usual and we fulfill them in the same way we would fulfill any other order. It was easy to implement the first time, and even easier the next time when we onboarded with a new vendor who was also using Convictional. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have to pay extra attention to the time an order was received, as there is a score given on the amount of time it takes to fulfill an order. This hasn't caused us any problems so far however we are especially mindful about getting all Convictional orders out as quickly as possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When we were first approached by the Convictional team, we all thought it sounded too good to be true. We were concurrently getting EDI compliant for placement with another retail partner and we had also participated in other drop ship ventures with no integration with our 3 pl. Both forms of retail placement, were long winded, time consuming and involved a lot of our teams bandwidth. Convictional involved no cost to us. The on-boarding process was relatively easy. It does integrate with our 3 pl so reduces the manual inputs needed from our team. It was also a direct bridge to some buying teams that we are so excited about and we wouldn't have secured on our own. It has been a huge boon for our omnichannel strategy.

We had to make an initial decision on our end about whether to create a unique Shopify site for better integration. Our Squarespace site was not able to integrate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

From a buyer perspective, it is very easy to sync products over to our website. For the most part, the automations work and help us keep track of order status. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are a few features that are lacking including import and export features on the platform. The order issues tab is a bit hard to stay on top of during busy times and we have to monitor pricing very closely since brands control this from their end. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Simple to use and very intuitive web tool. the support team is quick and attentive. Setup was quick and relatively easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Really just one stumbling block is the way inventory is managed when you have an extensive assortment of products and multiple criteria. it would be great to have tools within the portal to manage multiple criteria. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We are using Convictional via SeattleMet and it's great how seamlessly it syncs with Shopify to show our catalogue of products on SeattleMets shop.I'd have no problem using this site in the future! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The one issue we've had is that it didn't appear to collect shipping on behalf of the customer when someone placed an order. Not sure whether it was a setting in convictional we had unchecked or not. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We've had a good experience so far with Convictional. They are very helpful during the set up phase and already have retailers to put us in contact with once we completed set up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So far, I am unable to find a way to manually edit products pulled from Shopify. This is sometimes necessary if we want retailers to sell with different terms to the ones we use. Hoping there's a fix for this. I've reached out to our account manager and I'm sure they will be helpful as always in their response. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
