  • It says Free Trial but they charge without Notification

    To try their free plugin they required me to register a credit card, the first day my account in their panel shows an invoice of $0 but after a while the bank notifies me that Richpanel made a charge for $395. They no longer respond in their chat or from their support email and I have evidence of all of the above. Incredible that this happens within Wordpress.

  • Best customers support plugin / software ever

    I have been looking for such a complex and well-functioning solution for managing my customers for a long time. This helps a lot. The team is fast, transparent, extremely flexible and endlessly helpful. I can only say the best about them. Impressive customer service, which is to be expected from a company dealing with these. 100/100 points

  • Best CRM I have found, easiest to use

    We searched alot, we have over 2k customers emailing, messaging, commenting on our page and instagram it is impossible for us to keep up, we needed to streamline our communications. With this we integrated our 2 FB pages and Instagrams accounts, our woo commerce website, messenger and emails. We now can supervise our Virtual Assistant's activity overseas as well. Now we never miss messages, sales or worse, a customer who has a problem and really needs our attention. Some customers mention in a comment, then messenger us and email and it all comes in to the same place so we are not confused. If my assistant is replying, I can see what they said. We have a healthy list of canned text for responses for our VA and also are turning them into auto self serve responses in our website. It is so helpful that we can put the customers communication messages next to their data from our website so our we can see their order history, what they are shoping for.... its a very powerful tool. As we get really good with using all its features, I am sure we are ready to start scaling up our sales. We can handle the volume with this on our team. We had an issue with setting up our server with the emails. Our server is a little funny. Richpanel took the time to have a zoom meeting and help us through it. Quite excellent.

  • Automatically activates automated plugin updates in wordpress!!!!

    As soon as this plugin is active automated updates are activated for all plugins and can't be deactivated. as soon as the plugin is deactivated again, I am also able to deactivate automated updates for plugins again. since plugin conflicts can occur when updating everything automatically we usually first test the updates on a staging environment. if everything works fine we update the plugin on our live site. this is not possible when richpanel is active. totally useless and bad behavior by the plugin!

    Fantastic product. Simple setup and allows you to automate the customer service process from end to end. I am so glad we found Rich Panel. We are using it across different project and it's eliminating the need for different systems in a big way. Support is also very responsive and helps you every step of the way!
