The quoting system could be a little more streamlined but good overall\! No ----- ### "Try it out, why not" — 4.0/5 > **Rania** | *26 September 2025* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Shopmonkey does a great job of making the workflow easier to manage. It's very intuitive, and the guys at the shop enjoy using it. The team that onboarded us gave us full confidence that they would help us merge it with QuickBooks seamlessly. > > **Cons**: The merge has had some hiccups. The team did not have the foresight to start the invoice numbers in SM at a different number than the invoices in QB, so we had a big mess the first month of performance. Also, the team has to actually push through the workforce for it to work properly, which doesn't always happen, so again, more hiccups with QBO. It is hard getting someone on their QB knowledge team to help with issues. > > Great, if you work it properly. If not, don't expect much help from them. It's intuitive, but there is opportunity for many errors if you don't operate the software properly. ----- ### "My Experience with Shopmonkey" — 5.0/5 > **Cherif** | *17 March 2026* | Sports | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that Shopmonkey has great customer support team that is highly responsive which is very essential as employees do not face any challenges that could cause downtime. The tool has great reporting and analytic capability which helps in diagnosing devices bugs thus enabling us to fix issues on time. > > **Cons**: Shopmonkey has been an exceptional tool for us, it has great features that helps ensure our devices are in shape 24/7. I do not have any dislikes. > > My overall experience with this tool has been exceptionally great. It has seamless features that helps us fix issues with efficiency.The dashboard is intuitive and very easy to use. ----- ### "Version 2.0 ruin the functionality" — 1.0/5 > **Amanda** | *27 August 2025* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10 > > **Pros**: Shopmonkey version 1.0 was very functional. It wasn't perfect, but it was as intuitive as I think invoicing could be. The features made a number of tasks, like running reports or processing payments, decently quick. > > **Cons**: Since we've been forced to update it has been a nightmare. So many features have been removed, it's almost not functional for our business. We would prefer to switch programs, but we have just over 5 years' worth of data essentially stuck in the program. We used to have a direct contact to help us with questions/concerns. Now, we can't get those same people to reply to our texts or emails, and the front-line customer service can't help with much more than "Did you turn it off and back on again?" > > Previously, I would have said this program has some issues, but it gets the job done, and it's fairly easy to use. Now, I would suggest that anyone looking for an invoicing program to choose anything else. The convoluted processes and programming are just not worth the cost. ----- ### "Seemeless process" — 4.0/5 > **Adewale** | *28 January 2026* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I think that the Shopmonkey is an intuitive application. Shopmonkey application is quite easy to navigate and the functionalitiea are easy to use both dor me as a user and the company. Quite seemless throughtout the initial process until payment and i think it is quite secure and their support system is great. > > **Cons**: The shoponkey application page could be quite over engaging for new users. I would recommend it to anyone but that they take care with use. Most of the time i need some work done, i would usualu visit the shopmonkey application pages i have been to before so i do not mix things up. > > Overall, i think that the shop.onkey application is great as it affords me the secured transaction i need. Also, it gives much value for money. I think the client would love it for managing their business efficiently. ----- Page: 1 / 12\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/88459/shopmonkey?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/88459/shopmonkey) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
