CommentSold vs. Meta Commerce Manager

Prior to using CommentSold I was manually invoicing customers which took up time (and caused a lot of paperwork). Commentsold has saved me a TON of time. I also really like the waitlist feature. When items are restocked we often get sales without having to do anything. Like I mentioned before, I do wish that CommentSold synced with Shopify a little more seamlessly. There are some things that take more time to do because I have to do it on Shopify and CommentSold (like rearranging product photos, assigning items to collections etc)

Meta Commerce Manager is well suited for posting content to semi-targeted users; posting is easy as a few clicks once content is created. Some of the tools are very easy to use. Back-end analytics are there, although it can be expensive or complicated how far your institution wants to drill down.

• Setting up for live sales and being able to be live on multiple platforms at once
• Setting up the App was very easy
• Sending push notifications directly to my customers
• Reporting is simple and informative

• Targeted ads.
• Analytics.
• Simplicity (at basic level).

Incentivized

• We also use Shopify and I wish that CommentSold integrated with it a little better. For example, I wish gift cards worked both places. And I wish the collections synced.
• We sometimes have issues getting our lives to work on Instagram
• Customer service is good but I wish they still had the programs where we worked directly with CommentSold reps to help build our business

• Nuances of service are confusing.
• Pricing is all over the place.
• Customer services can be lacking.

Site navigation isn't the best, but there are many tools available for you to use. Plenty of data on metrics and everything else you would be looking for on a platform like this.

You can only contact support via Facebook Messenger. They are fairly quick to respond, but cannot always help you. When items get falsely flagged as inappropriate for the platform, it is a crap shoot whether or now submitting them to be re-evaluated will pan out.

We use CommentSold AND Shopify. We would prefer to use only one but each has different features that we can't let go of. If CommentSold improved their in-store check out and website personalization options, we would consider dropping Shopify

It is inferior to all of those products, but since there are zero listing fees and zero commissions it is worth the effort to use it. I have already mentioned all of the pros & cons, so will not bother to do so again here.

Incentivized

• Our online sales have increased 50% since starting CommentSold
• We're slowing increasing app downloads every day
• We are building a relationship and connections with customers who watch our live sales

• Community engagement.
• Needs better and more simple analytics.
• Needs trainings.
