    What merchants praise

    “Not gonna lie, for a FREE app this thing is really really good. It does much more than a lot of paid apps do, and it allows Custom CSS to get it to match your websites look 100%. Fully customizable, and a no-brainer to install.”

    What merchants complain about

    “I really liked the features this App provided, but I was getting issues with it. First of all, when I used the "free gift" feature, I noted that what it does is add the "free gift"product but at the same time it sets the price of this product to $0.00. So I could just keep adding as many of that product as I want, at no additional cost. The other issue I was having were shipping issues. It somehow disabled my shipping rates and no purchases could be made from any of my available shipping zones. So, I do not recommend this App at all, until these issues get fixed.”
