Description

Ever buy paper towels, protein powder, and a birthday gift in one Amazon order… only to see it grouped into a general “Shopping” category in Monarch? Now, there’s a better way. This extension helps Monarch sync with retailers like Amazon and Target to better categorize and split your retail purchases, automatically. You’ll now have… 🧠 Smarter categorization 🧹 Cleaner budgets and reports ⏱️ Way less manual editing 🗒️ Notes to remind you the details of a transaction HERE’S HOW IT WORKS: - Download the extension and log into Monarch - Make sure you are logged into your Amazon and/or Target account from the same browser, then connect to that retailer using the extension - Your initial sync will include orders from the past three months - Any orders that are matched to transactions in Monarch will be split and/or recategorized as needed - You can choose to have a new sync occur every 24 hours to match and categorize any fresh orders - Historical orders can be synced with a manual backfill from the extension settings The extension currently works with Amazon and Target, with more retailers coming soon. No more guessing. No more re-categorizing. Just clear, accurate categorization and insights that make Monarch work harder for you. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION - While the extension currently supports Amazon US, we’ll be working on Amazon Canada soon. - This extension uses AI to process receipt data and properly categorize transactions. No personally identifiable information is ever shared and the only information passed through is what is required to analyze the order itself (i.e. item name, merchant name, price and purchase date).

It seems completely inert and defunct, like a placebo. It literally does absolutely nothing. I will automate with Claude instead!

Please add support for Amazon business accounts. Otherwise this is useless for me and the other 8 million Amazon business users in the US.

Not even sure how it's supposed to work. There are no extension settings that allow me to connect to my Amazon account. The instructions are horribly unclear.

Never seems to work for me. I have to go through the whole process each time I want it to sync and then it is likely still not to work. It is also an inconvenient process. Nice idea, just not at all reliable. Monarch's support is appalling too. You have to wait a day, before getting a reply. That's the best they got, lol, - -smh - - appalling. I miss MINT.

Target sync does not work at all.

Hasn't worked for a month: Transaction Status says "Unmatched" for all my Amazon purchases, which are all just categorized in Monarch as "Shopping". Feels like a very-beta Extension that probably shouldn't be out in the world because it's so buggy.

Doesn't work at all. I have to remember to save my Target receipts to categorize in Monarch later.

As far as I can tell this thing doesn't work at all. The screens and actions described in the help docs don't match reality. Nothing functions as it's supposed to. Except one thing, thank goodness: "Remove from Chrome". At this point that's the only button I need for this failure of an extension.

Doesn't work for amazon.ca ... Please make this work for Amazon's Canadian website! (it's literally the same website)

Cannot get it to work. Support said it won't work if I have over 180 transactions from the last 3 months. I uninstalled to try to get it to only sync new transactions and it just shows it Syncing and then stops. Frustrating - this would have been very helpful to me!

Can I give this zero stars? First, using a browser extension is lame. Second? It doesn't work at all. Wondering if/how it works with amazon business accounts, or amazon accounts that use passkeys, etc. Was waiting for this for a long time, and this turns out to be a dud.

When it works it is great, but it doesn't work most of the time. I spent a month of back and forth with Monarch's support and in the end they told me their bug is too hard to fix and they don't have a fix ETA for it :-/

Still needs some work! The "Sync older orders" doesn't work for me at all. Drilling into, for example "Import orders from 2024" just sits and spins. Nothing in Chrome's inspector console log. Last 3 months works great, I've logged in/out and reinstalled the extension a few times.

I was really excited to try this out, but after spending a couple of days trying trying to get it to work, the sync consistently fails without any clear error messages or explanation of what went wrong.

Fine when it works but unfortunately not reliable

I think Monarch has potential to be a one stop shop for simple personal budgeting however accounts that use a two factor authenticator (i.e. financial institutions) fail when syncing so unless you go in and update manually each time you open the app/website it really doesn't give you a full picture of your accounts.

Love this. Except I'm unable to sync anything older than 3 months. Just get spinny wheel.

It's a great idea and a feature that is a must. However, more than 70% of my transactions are unmatched even though the exact amount is found in my monarch transactions. Very strange.

I like this functionality and think it could be applied to other services, such as Venmo. However, I would really want to see the name of the product I bought in the merchant field (or at least show the item name in a column in transactions). It's not easy to see the notes field in Monarch and you can't add it to the list views.

yeah it's actually kind of lame that it only syncs recent data. Otherwise it would be really cool.
