    What merchants praise

    I had given these guys a horrible review 9 years ago, but it appears that they have changed quite a bit since then. I needed help this morning and got Caleb on live chat in about 30 seconds. He was extremely helpful and within about 10 minutes he got into my Shopify store and fixed my FAQ problem. He was very attentive and his communication with me was excellent. I highly recommend these guys!

    What merchants complain about

    Stay FAR AWAY from this app!! The developers pulled a bait and switch and now we are missing most of our FAQ on our LIVE website. There are many other great options out there. Do not use this crap app!!!!

Install footprint is observed via Ongoing.AI’s tech-detection pass against actively-tracked Shopify storefronts. Catalog position is computed at snapshot time against every active app sharing the primary category. Snapshot generated .
