Good but not easy to figure out at first
Does what I needed it for, but I had a bit of a problem figuring this out. I think it needs a clearer guide on getting started.

Useless
The moment I create new shortcode, it overrides the old one, so there is no way to add more shortcodes for more products, it only works on one, for me it's useless.

Great plugin, feature-rich
Very pleased with this plugin - styles look so much better than other similar plugins I've tried. And the bulk upload is particularly handy - saved me a huge amount of time recently when I had to launch my new site before schedule!
