  • Great support, easy to use

    I'm giving this a 5 star review because of the great support the good folks at Ademti Software provided, when I encountered what I thought was a random occurrence of extra emails being sent to customers. Their detailed support, helped me to see that the source of the extra emails was from product testing we where doing at the time, not the plugin. I really appreciate the time and effort they put into helping me, even though I was only using the free version of their product. I can't say enough good things about these guys, great product, great support!

  • I use it on all my eCommerce sites

    I build a lot of websites for numerous clients and I make sure they have the free one as a default, and if they really want to up their eCommerce game, we go with the Pro version, adds quite a lot of flexibility so worth a look. It tracks which ones it has recovered, and there is always a recovered cart on there which is amazing, to think that otherwise we'd have lost that sale. The developer is on hand for any questions and is super friendly and helpful. Great plugin, highly recommended.

  • Two Thumbs Up

    Smart, clean, super user-friendly. It's easy to set up, easy to customise, and the coupons worked perfectly even in our multi-currency environment. Plus they actually responded to our suggestions, nice. Five stars and two thumbs up!

  • Useful addition to any woocommerce site

    The developer added a new feature just because I needed it. Awesome.

  • Excellent plugin

    Two reasons why this plugin is excellent: 1) It works. It's simple (that's a good thing) and does its job without a fuss. It's well designed. Competing products do basically the same thing but charge literally 10 times as much. 2) The support. I think the author takes pride in his work and it shows. He's very responsive with support and feedback. It gives me confidence that this plugin will be kept up-to-date and supported in the future. Try it!
