    What merchants praise

    “Without a doubt the best app in the Shopify Plus niche. We had very specific needs, and literally tried all other apps in the niche. - Developer is highly supportive and present for bug-fixes and features - App is priced very reasonably for its capability : no revenue skimming, no eye-watering monthly fees - App is very well designed without being overly complex. - 6 months after using - app is better, support is still excellent, pricing is still fair.”

    What merchants complain about

    “Everything is 'Only on Shopify Plus' - So it's pretty pointless, even if it is offering a 'FREE' plan... Unless, you have shopify plus!”
