No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

    All I want to do is hide free shipping when a flat rate is available. Seems simple enough, but I could not get it to work no matter how many permutations I tried. Frustrating.

    Plugin is straight forward to use, but didn’t exclude the Easyship shipping method.

    We wanted to disable the local pickup method for certain products. The free version does the trick well, so I recommend the plugin!

    This is a really powerful tool. The many options can make configuration a bit challenging, but with some trial and error we got it working perfectly for a client that needed to restrict shipping methods available for certain products to Intl shipping destinations. Definitely a nice tool to have available if you have any non-standard shipping requirements. Works perfectly with their Easypost plugin too.
