  • Great Plugin - Thank you for making it

    Great Plugin - highly recommend it. The free version is very useful and has basic controls, and will look at upgrading it. Very useful for anyone with time sensitive products in the shop.

  • Nice plugin

    Seems to be working smoothly. Nice plugin to have a FOMO notification in the cart and checkout page (also an option for a notice in whole site, but i think this is too much of CTA).
