ProductChimp requires a supported version of Google Chrome to function properly. Since Chrome no longer supports Windows 7 and Windows 8.1, ProductChimp cannot run on these operating systems. Users must upgrade to a newer OS to use the platform.
Overview
ProductChimp is designed to operate through Google Chrome, ensuring a fast, secure, and seamless experience for managing your listings and automation workflows. However, compatibility depends on both your browser and operating system.
As of recent updates, Google Chrome has officially discontinued support for older operating systems like Windows 7 and Windows 8.1. Because ProductChimp relies on Chrome to run its features and interface, it is also affected by this limitation.
