I use catalog machine to create a physical printout of my webshop whenever I present my products at a tradeshow. I like the different layout templates and the app functions well with Shopify. Most important to me is their quick and helpful support service. They get back to you within a few hours and continue to help Until your issue is solved

Great app! Allowed us to create a catalog with all of our Shopify products. Customizable but not too complicated. Way more cost effective than other systems we checked out - Responsive and helpful team!

takes so long to learn and use!! Totally not worth it and the app crashes right before I try to save. Not stable at all. Looked around more and found Easy Catalogs is much more reliable

Wow, so old and outdated! This is a big company and clearly the founding team has no idea what they are doing. All the code is old and themes really oudated. I tried them out for a while and it does not do what it says. I tried Easy Catalogs, another PDF maker and it's way better and CHEAPER

There are a lot of catalogue builders on the app store. We tried most of them. This one is by far the best. It provides outstanding control over every single detail. It is the only app we found that satisfies all our requirements. It appears expensive compared to the others, but it is well worth it. The only caveat is it is so flexible you need to invest 10 min reading the docs. If you dive straight in, you will miss a lot of powerful features.

REVISED: Finally, someone got back to me. It didn't take that long, but I dont' have time to sit and wait. They had a holiday. (pls have a notification in your chat stating so, next time.....) I started working on the tool and so far it is great. Support has been great too, they help me on chat and are really great. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am looking into this app to create online lookbooks. I sent two messages on different days on their chat. No reply. I then tried to install the app and it's not installing. I initially created the account outside of shopify. Now trying to connect, it's not working. I uploaded my lookbook (PDF) and there is a limit on the trial version. I click on UPGRADE (yes, I was to pay guys!) and when I enter my shopify store and click continue, nothing happens. A colleague mentioned this app as a good fit for our needs, and I think it is, but if it is this bad where I can't upgrade AND no one replies, I wonder how this will be!!!!! I hope that by writing a review here someone will notice.

Catalog Machine has helped us maintain a large catalog and keep it connected to Shopify. They are very helpful, and responsive. We have had great success using Catalog Machine.

Seems like the reviews are fake.... the setup process of this app is extremely time-taking, annoying and complex.

Catalog Machine is remarkably user friendly; I'm moderately tech savvy and I was able to "dive right in" and productively use it. I uploaded all my products from Shopify with ease. The level of the catalog I have begun to produce and the searchable showroom I am creating has been shockingly good. I cannot wait to share them with our customers! These services are priceless for a startup, or any company, that doesn't want to spend ridiculous money on catalog creation. We have the Pro subscription and are happy for the wonderful services it provides. Catalog Machine has solved many challenges for us in our wholesale sales too! Their personal level of customer service and support is truly top notch. You can always get questions answered and help if you encounter challenges. Their videos and tutorial articles are thorough, easy to follow, and understand. I also highly recommend Olha's Webinars! They are a much appreciated bonus source of knowledge and sharing. You are guaranteed to learn something new and useful from Olha and Andriy! I will recommend using Catalog Machine to other businesses and I definitely recommend it to you!

Catalog Machine has been extremely useful and time saving for us in creating paper catalogues for customers. There are plenty of options when it comes to importing product fields, we've got almost 2000 products with over 4000 variants, so automation was essential for us. With Catalog Machine you can import and set up automation for almost everything. There is now integration with Zapier, which is very useful in keeping your catalogue updated. You can set up an automatic import of products every week. My favourite feature that I've enjoyed using is being able to import all info and options about variants into tables. The one thing that seems to lack a little bit is the styling of the catalogue, but it's not an issue for us as our process is exporting grids straight into a PDF which is automatically linked to Adobe InDesign, making it easy for us to change the styling of the catalogue whenever we want (would highly recommend this option). Using Catalog Machine can also cause lots of lag, I've found ways to get around this by using linking child catalogues into a parent catalogue, but I wish there was a better way of creating child catalogues, rather than have it count towards the final subscription catalogue count. Maybe an option could be to be able to make child catalogues for every Collection or Category. Finally, the team at Catalog Machine has been unbelievably helpful. Andriy has been answering questions very quickly, and has implemented requested features within a week. I'm very impressed with the service, and with Catalog Machine in general.

Catalog Machine helps solve a problem for me as I often need to publish paper catalogs for my sales reps and customers. As with many complicated apps on Shopify, it's not perfect, but with a little tweaking it does the trick. It took me a little time to get the catalog looking right, but after working with the staff and experimenting, I got it to run great. It's the only app that I've seen that can make meta-fields go over; this was a key feature for me.

Uninstalled after 5mins. Only allows 20 products in catalog as opposed to 100 stater in free trial period. Don't get greedy...

It took me some time to learn how to use the app properly, but eventually, I got there. However, the support was truly outstanding. Andriy was extremely patient with me even though I had so many questions and went to great pains to help me despite the time difference. Thank you Andriy

Love this app. This app is easy to learn and does exactly what I want.The only thing is that I wish I could also print the actual catalogue through your company.

Great Product and GREAT Support, I am thrilled I went with Catalog Machine. Once you have the basics the rest will full into place. There are lots of templates and design tools. The importing of the products from shopify is brilliant and works like a charm. The editing of the is simple and working around the application is very easy. I highly recommend it.

I've been looking for an app that would import selected fields and also drag and drop. Catalog Machine has a lot more to offer and customer service is excellent.

Apparently they did something after direct contact to allow the app to load. Looks decent, i might be able to review more thoroughly in the future, but don't have time at the moment, but have bumped from 1-star to 3-star based on customer service effort they made. ******* The app is trying to load my Pure Hearts International account but it just won't load, it's like the servers are overloaded or something. Willing to revise 1-star rating if developers will proactively address this.

It has been a learning curve since, but I can definitely recommend this app. I’ve done my catalogues importing my products directly from Shopify (www.unboncafe.eu) which made it super easy. I've created catalogues for my wholesale customers in a week with no design skill at all! not to mention a great costumer service.

Mess of functionality. Convoluted, and chaotic. Wanted to upgrade to see if it was better in a more premium version, but it's not connected with Shopify Charges so you have to create another account and link your credit card to it.

If it could be automated more it would be convenient - as it stands it takes as much work to create a catalog manually.

We are really impressed with this App! We were able to put together a much needed catalog in about a week that is easily shared with our customers. The customer support was incredible! Every question and issue resolved in a timely manner and the follow up through out the process was professional and much appreciated. I highly recommend this app to anyone. We will be starting a new catalog in the near future for another web site. You won't be disappointed! Thank you, thank you!

I actually really like this app. It's easy to use, has good layout options, and I like the fact that I can turn my catalog into a downloadable PDF file for my customers and/or sales reps to download. I give it a 5 star rating!

We are a happy Shopify user (Holland Boutique - www.hollandboutique.com). One pain in the bum for us has been requests from wholesale channels who require a nice looking PDF catalog. The product info is already in Shopify. How can we easily create good looking wholesale catalogs from our Shopify products and send them out to wholesalers? Well, that s easy now with Catalog Machine! And guess what, it s actually also an easy tool to quickly update prices and stuff, and simply sync this all to Shopify. Excellent and quick customer service.
