What merchants praise

“Loved the app during the trial period and made a suggestion for a feature that was accepted and implemented before my trial was even over! An amazing team, functional and vital app for my business, and outstanding customer service. They earned this customer! 10/14/2023 Update - Still enjoying and relying on this app daily. For a store with over 24k products that go in and out of stock constantly, you cant beat this Hider/Publisher app!”

What merchants complain about

“hiding products with this app has a negative affect on SEO, as they are no longer visible to search engines. i had hoped this was made more clear before i had so many out of stock products as they are now noindex and i'm not sure how to get those pages to rank again”
