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.

    It’s just stupid to install the plugin as it ALWAYS asks you to pay before using it. I will not use any of the plugins by mini orange.

    This plugin allows you to easily and quickly connect your store with WooCommerce and Firebase in no time.The people on the team are super available to help and respond in a very short time. Highly recommended in every way!

    Such great support. Purchased the premium plugin and the team spent over and hour on a call to help discuss my specific use case. Ended up needing a small customisation – which was fast, smooth and affordable. Would highly recommend!

    As being quite new to Firestore/Firebase I was initially a little unsure about purchasing this plugin, but from the very start the plugin was easy enough to use and the support that these guys provide allowed me to accomplish exactly what I wanted. I sent a few emails back and forth to the support team who were always quick to respond, and even get on a video call with me to help me set-up everything. I ended up combining this with the Firestore integrator plugin, which is equally straightforward and very well supported. For Firestore/Firebase integration I highly recommend this plugin. You won’t regret it.

    First off let me start by saying this plugin has been a godsend. It’s the only reliable plugin I have found (and I tried them all) for connecting WordPress with Firebase Authentication. So don’t even waste your time with anything else, trust me, I wasted months trying to make other solutions work to only end up with this plugin in the end. I have been using it for almost 2 years now with no issues. In the beginning, I was new to using Firebase and didn’t really know how it worked. Their support team went above and beyond in helping me. Always responding within 12 hours and always able to get on a zoom call to troubleshoot and help me with my issues. 2 years later and everything we did still works like a charm. I also wanted to do some things that were not supported by the plugin initially and they were able to accommodate and custom code the functionality for me. And they did it within a week no less! Miniorange is the benchmark I judge all other WordPress plugin developers. I can’t say enough nice things about them.
