Overall Satisfaction with QuickBooks Commerce (formerly TradeGecko)

Commerce is used by several employees of our organization and by me.
Mainly it helps to account for revenue by multiple channels and track inventory in multiple locations. This was the primary reason we switched to it. Also, we were planning to use a b2b portal.
  • Track inventory at multiple locations
  • Record revenue by multiple sales channels
  • - Couldn't integrate with existing QBO account. Had to set up a new QBO account and transfer all data, create lots of journal entries - was very time-consuming and labor-intensive. Caused some financial discrepancies to resolve.
  • - Have to process returns on Amazon and Shopify orders manually
  • - Tax-inclusive is not allowed - European sales are tax inclusive - can't import order with VAT included. Looks like the software is suitable for US only. Have to create such orders manually in Commerce and then manual journal entries in QBO
  • - Supports accrual accounting method only. In cash - it's a mess
  • - Support - not knowledgeable enough - I could only call for support (now they have chat) and they always had to get with the back-end and every call was not less than 1 hour. At the end I would get a link for the training materials
  • - Inventory not synching timely sometimes - I have a screenshot proving that inventory on our Amazon account was 0 but Commerce still had quantities, I had to manually press synch
  • - Shipping line from Shopify orders is not coded to Shipping income account but goes together with Sales of product income account
  • - When partial of the PO is received, not able to create a bill for the partial. There're only 2 settings: either bill created at the time of PO creation (for the whole PO amount - which increases your AP right away) or at the time the whole PO received. It works only when PO is shipped as a whole.
  • Track inventory on multiple locations
  • Record revenue by multiple sales channels
  • No specific impact
QBO works fine, i still use it in conjunction with Commerce

If things I listed in the "issues" section are resolved and addressed - I could recommend it more. Currently, it's still very undeveloped and I have to do a lot of manual work in order to make it work more or less.
