  • Wonderful plugin and works great

    Wonderful plugin and works great, too bad they don't support it anymore. I'm loving the plugin and I use it to create my dream store, thanks to it it's coming true.

  • Perfect Plugin

    Just what I needed, it works perfectly. I only wish that it continues to be supported. As the project is not under active development, I'd consider donating at some time to ensure compatibility.

  • Perfect

    WooCommerce by default doesn't allow for multiple external links for product variations, so this plugin fills that void perfectly allowing you to link to different URLs for each product variation. Its a must have if you offer external bookings on a separate platform. Support is excellent as well!

  • Works fine but their is a lot of room for improvement

    This plugin worked correctly for my website but there is room for improvement. Like:- 1. The plugin does not work in the product's quick view, it directly adds the product to the cart instead of taking to the external link. Still, I'm rating this plugin 5 stars because this plugin did what it said. But I always hope that the developers will improve this with time. Thanks for providing us with this awesome plugin.
