  • Excellent support and great customer service!

    I had an issue with the integration between Poptin and FluentCRM that was quite difficult to solve. The support team was extremely helpful, patient, and attentive throughout the entire process. They took the time to investigate the issue in depth and even involved their team to try to understand what was happening. Although I ultimately found an alternative solution using a custom WordPress bridge, I really appreciate all the effort and support from the Poptin team during the investigation. They were always kind, responsive, and genuinely interested in helping me find a solution. I’m very happy with the support I received and would definitely recommend Poptin, especially because of the quality of their customer service. Thank you to the Poptin support team for your patience and dedication! ❤️

  • Easy to use and very flexible in design options

    Poptin is super easy to use. You can drag all the items around freely, which gives you a lot of freedom when designing your popups or embedded forms. Also, inserting images or graphics is easy. The embedded forms are a piece of cake to make, and with the embed code for Wordpress my forms are live in no-time. I spoke with Osama from customer service who provided my with some extra tips, quite useful. Overall, I am very happy with the services provided!
