The plugin is great, the support is fantastic!
I've been using the paid version of this plugin on a handful of my client sites, and it's really top-notch, a real premium experience. There have been occasions where a theme update has broken things in CheckoutWC, and every time I contact support, they have been wonderful. They've worked with me to diagnose and fix the issue, and when they find a bug on their end, they've provided a temporary fix and rolled it out in the next release. 10/10!

Best Checkout Plugin with Amazing Support
This plugin takes the confusing Woo default checkout and turns it into a clear, easy to follow process. Plus the support is phenomenal! In addition to being generally lovely to interact with, the CS team have helped us troubleshoot everything - even when it's turned out the issue we were experiencing lay within a different plugin! Five stars isn't enough stars for these folks.

Insanely good free support
I wasn't expecting much as I was using the Lite version, but when I contacted I received quick and extremely detailed guidance, even with issues that were not related to the plugin itself. Love the plugin, but love the support from Simon even more.

Brilliant
So far so good. Came across a random error, the live chat feature within the plugin is amazing. Ian helped me sort an issue. Was very quick to respond. Hope to purchase pro features. Thanks
