Retail Manager finds Handshake feature updates stagnated, limits primary use

Read at g2.com

What happened

A Retail Store Manager at a mid-market company reports that Handshake's organic buyer volume is lower than competitors and feature updates have stagnated. This limits its use as a primary wholesale engine, making it only a convenient 'side channel'. The reviewer mentions 'Faire' as a competitor.

    “However, organic buyer volume on the platform is lower compared to competitors like Faire, and feature updates have stagnated. Overall, it is a convenient side channel for Shopify users, but shouldn't be relied on as a primary wholesale engine.”
