### "Simple yet great!"

December 10, 2021

4.0

My overall experience with the software was great, and cannot really fault it. My business used this software for around 12 months while the company sold merchandise.

Pros

I like that its pretty straight forward and self explanatory. It doesn't take someone with a lot of previous inventory knowledge to pick up and start using this software from day one.

Cons

It doesn't have all the features that some alternatives softwares have.

### "Value for Money"

December 30, 2025

5.0

I HAVE NO COMPLAINTS!!! Choosing Thrive by Shopventory has been one of the best decisions we have made. A FIVE star review thus far.

Pros

This is an amazing help to our little mom and pop store. I love all of the features although I am still in the midst of learning. It is such a great way of tracking your inventory and ensuring that your count is correct. I love how you can reconcile items with ease. It certainly is worth the cost. The team is awesome when you run into an issue.

Cons

I wish I could afford all of the features that they have to offer. I tried the AI for purchasing orders but we had too many variables from vendor to vendor. It is great if all of your vendors are similar but in our case it was hard to determine invoice discounts and other items. Love the feature but not a good fix for us.

### "Best Customer Service I've Experienced"

July 11, 2025

5.0

Overall it's been incredibly positive. I've learned enough playing with it to keep myself busy but anytime I have a question, the AI is actually helpful and the Humans are a delight.

Pros

The customer service is outstanding. Being a frequent issue creator means I get to talk to them a lot! The chat is so quick and so easy, sometimes I pop in just to say "Hi!"

Cons

It's not tailored to books sales and doesn't handle card processing. If it were tied to Ingram reporting and databases, it would be a game changer for us. Thrive would become our permanent inventory solution instead of a temporary one.

[Clover](https://www.capterra.com/p/226864/Clover/)

Booklog license renewal was prohibitively expensive. Then I got caught in a scam card processing lease through Clover. Clover inventory management is trash. Thankfully they offer Thrive through 3rd party subscription plan and Thrive has been refreshing to use since using Clover.

### "The only Inventory sytem you need!"

June 25, 2025

5.0

Overall, it's been great. I've been a long time customer (9 years now), and they've always answered all my questions and been so helpful navigating through any points of confusion I may have had.

Pros

I love the reorder process for all my po's. I used to spend hours getting them all sent out, and now with their automatic reorder points and par levels, I can have all po's sent off to my vendors in 30 mins or less!

Cons

I didn't like the multiple steps required to make a case of something. For example, if i sell a 12 pack case of energy drinks, to get those to properly deduct the right case qtys as single cans are sold, it requires quite a few steps and sometimes confusing math.

June 23, 2025

5.0

So far, so Good, Had lot all our inventory data in Square Cynthia from Thrive support made sure as soon as she came to know the situation, she made it a point to see it's resolved and she even logged in on a Saturday to check and update us that the scheduled task had completed.

Pros

The overall inventory management system features and support. Integrates with Square, WooCommerce & Shopify.

Cons

All good features are at a higher price slab. If a product has more variants, it becomes very slow to update.

June 18, 2025

4.0

Overall, I'm happy with Thrive. We get the data and reporting we want and we only occasionally have problems that can't be fixed immediately.

Pros

Thrive has prompt, friendly customer support! I'm usually able to resolve occasional problems right away.

Cons

Sometimes our products don't load in our catalog, which can be hard for work. But usually, a quick refresh or a browser restart helps.

June 23, 2025

They have great customer service everytime I've had an issue the last 3 years they have been great in assisting me.

Pros

They are the best inventory app out there! clover recently raised prices and i cancelled thrive to give other apps a try 3 weeks later and I'm back with thrive

Cons

I wish the second integration was part of the $59 dollar plan I don't need all the features of the standard plan. all I need is to sync with clover and my shopify store.

Reason for choosing Thrive by Shopventory

none of the others apps offered what shopventory offered.

June 10, 2025

5.0

I have absolutely loved Thrive. It handles a complex inventory of our smoke shop but the main thing I have loved the most is the customer service. Every rep has taken time to help and dive into every issue I have had. Unlike so many other apps I've encountered.

Pros

Customer service and user-friendly software. Training, onboarding, inventory setup everything was very easy.

Cons

Some reporting could be better but really no cons for me. Some of the pricing could be a little more competitive.

### "Management Inventory with Shopventory"

November 27, 2024

5.0

The tool is tremendously friendly and easy to operate. The difference is made by the incredible staff that support the end users.

Pros

I like the fact that the supporting team of techs are cordial, friendly and supportive no matter what I ask. I appreciate their speedy and complete response to some of my most outlandish questions. Every member of the team has been great in helping us get through the hurdles of inventory management and in helping us become experts as well. Thanks to the entire team supporting us here at Wigs Beauty Plus and Wig & Beauty.

Cons

There are some shortcomings that make our job a little cumbersome but are not show-stoppers. I think the bulk upload can be refined to freeze header frames when displaying products.

### "Best app to help manage inventory"

June 22, 2023

5.0

Overall we have had lees inventory issues with unaccounted for product, can easily look at the product and look at history. However it is not easy to find a product that we have on hand and no longer in the system to find the history of the product.

Pros

The ease of importing from Shopify to Thrive, and customer service was top notch when help was needed.

Cons

The bulk edit reports needs help, not able to hide columns so you can see the ones you need to work on side by side without having to scroll left to right constantly. Would be really nice to edit just the product or products you need instead of the entire catalog which includes archived products. Way too much informaiton not needed and would speed up the download time to generate a Google sheet. Would also would be nice if can enter in additional field such as country of origin which would save a step in by having to enter into Shopify. As well as placing the images in the correct order of the variants to show online (I think this is more of a Shopify issue). When we need to add sku's we have to click each time and no there's autofill of drag down option same with other fields such as price. Time consuming when you can have 100 attributes and you have to add 99 attribute boxes 1 at a time so you can enter the variant weight & color. We never know what and how many of each product we will receive until unpacked and sorted. No way to use the bulk edit option for the specific product to add

### "Quick Help, Good Features, More features may be needed"

July 10, 2023

5.0

Overall, a great start to a strong inventory system. Like anything, it needs some features that seem to be basics (or obvious), and has other features that would not have crossed my mind to use in our warehouse. The support team is usually very helpful and courteous. Sometimes we need something more along the lines of production software, but Thrive has also helped manage these types of activities for us too!

Pros

Support members are very responsive, and try hard to understand the situation. Most of our big issues have been escalated to the engineers and often fixed in about 48-72 business hours. Many helpful options to make some complex items (bundles and assemblies) as well as some features we don't use just yet.

Cons

There's no organizing by SKU number, so far; by name or barcode number only. They always suggest downloading the product list and organizing on a spreadsheet, but not all of our employees who would need it have access to do that. When using in tandem with BigCommerce, we had a few "behind the screen" issues with programming, but the support team was very helpful.

Thank you for your detailed feedback. We're pleased to hear that our support team has been responsive and effective in addressing your concerns in a timely manner. It's great to know that many of our features, especially related to complex items, are benefiting your operations. We genuinely acknowledge the limitation regarding SKU organization. Your insights are invaluable in helping us prioritize areas for improvement. While there have been challenges integrating with BigCommerce, we're grateful for your patience and are committed to smoothing out any kinks. Your perspective on Thrive's capabilities, both its strengths and areas for enhancement, is deeply appreciated. Rest assured, we're continuously striving to refine and expand our offerings to best serve your needs. Thank you for partnering with us on this journey.

Thrive has been great to work with. Anytime I have an issue they are quick to help out. Members of the team like Sean have met with us one on one to help us maximize the benefits of the software.

Pros

Thrive makes it easy to manage create and manage my inventory for our Shopify and our Clover POS. This software is simple and easy to use. Thrive saves me hours and hours of work.

### "Keeps us on track with our inventory"

June 28, 2023

5.0

Thrive by Shopventory allows for a one-stop easy-to-utilize platform to keep on top of inventory, and product trends. Owning and operating a business is a second (post-retirement) career, so this product has been very helpful in keeping up with all the details and metrics of product management.

Pros

I really like the built-in and custom reports that can be generated to get a comprehensive view of the status of the business. The customer service is also top-notch and very quick to assist in answering questions. I feel as though they really care about ensuring that the users are getting the most out of the product. Being able to remotely utilize the system for product management is essential.

Cons

This is likely an end-user issue, but on occasion, the "Bundling" option is a bit glitchy with listing "components". Again, more than likely, this is a user issue.

Reason for choosing Thrive by Shopventory

Ease of use. Price. Flexibility.

### "Shopventory is a great software"

December 19, 2019

5.0

Pros

Shopventory is defenily great at linking a great inventory with square or syncing between to platforms such as square and shopify or woocommerce or even clover. There definitely is a need for something like shopventory.

Cons

There are a few things I wish they had on the software but with the team working hard I feel like they will add more stuff. I would like to see a option where if you get the same product from multiple vendors that it tell you to get a product that is below par from the cheapest vendor first. This would save lots of time trying to figure out the cheapest place to find that product again. I feel like that is where computers are supposed to step in and save time which is money. It should also alert you if most of your vendors went down in price so you know that your company should probably lower price as well. Shopventory does have an where it will automatically guess when you will run out of a product which is really cool but is a little pricey. I imagine if the software works really well it would be worth it based on the size of your company.

Pros

I like being able to bulk upload new products and being able to modify existing products at once. It saves a lot of time!

Words have to be spelled out exactly in order to find them in the system. Also, the inventory doesn't sync with Clover automatically. Sometimes it takes a while.

November 9, 2018

In a retail situation, the inventory is what the business revolves around. This program is the best and easiest to use. I have tried a few. Their Support Team is the best. They go out of their way to help you solve a problem is it can be solved. However, users do make not smart moves sometimes. Some of these cannot be recovered from. I had a problem with SKU's last week, their tech support went in and helped me reset all my SKU's to something that was valid. No one stops until a problem is solved.

Pros

The software is easy to use. A lot of features are being upgraded on a regular basis. Seems there is a way to do whatever you want to accomplish. If it is a feature that would benefit a many of their clients, they upgrade as soon as they can.

Cons

Not much really. Every so often, I find something I would like that it doesn't have. However with the help of their Top Notch Support Team, we can usually find a way around to get what I need. You are also dealing with someone in the United States. No language barrier.
