Est. annual revenue
Est. acquisition value
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.

Plugin works but it really needs more customisation option.. Currently the “Add To Favorites” is sitting at the very bottom of the page where no one will see it, making it useless really. Not being able to move the button and the output message lets this down bigtime.. also the button colour was too dark, again, making it hard to see… this however I could fix via css… shame the position cant be fixed that easily 🙁 Ive been to the plugin support forum and the code advised just cause my entire website to crash… even after replacing all the quotes as instructed. It would have also been nice to replace the ‘add to favs’ button with ‘remove from favs’ once it appears in the users account.

Its very simple, very effective and a must have plugin. It does add a ‘add to favorite’ button to your product page. And a ‘Favorites’ Page. No other bullshit. Also the support is awesome. I mailed my questions twice and i got replies very quickly both times. Great work.

This is a very nice favorite plugin! Works perfectly. I have a very basic knowledge of .php (almost none) but it was very easy to change some things around so all the texts and buttons would be in the language of my site! It took me about 10 min. (yes i am that bad with php :p )

This is literally the only favourite that i can find that works how it should, the only closest thing after this is a wish list (which removes products after ordering them). Having initially installing the plugin and realised that the button goes to the bottom of the page and my customer wanted to see it at the top. Contacted Jonathan Boss who came back in exceptionally fast and assisted me. Can’t wait to see the development of the plugin, would be good to see features such as being able to select multiple favourites and put them straight in the basket. P.S If you want to move the button from the bottom to the top then simply add this code to the bottom of the function.php file in your theme: remove_action(‘woocommerce_after_single_product’, ’simple_add_favourites_button’, 10); add_action(‘woocommerce_before_single_product’, ’simple_add_favourites_button’, 10);

Best favorite plugin I could find after testing all wishlist, collections and favorite plugins.I have an art store so users need to see all their favorites in one place to see if they go well together. Wishlist plugins all have a small thumbnail that you cant really see. This plugin groups all your favorite shop items on one page so you can see how they look together.
