Estimated value

What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.

Est. annual revenue

N/A

Est. acquisition value

N/A

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. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

    This plug in works well, but is not as simple as it seems on the surface. I’ve had excellent support getting some persistent issues resolved so that it works as expected. It’s not perfect but it seems to do a better job than other supposedly similar products.

    We have decided on using this plugin for multiple reasons. At the beginning we experienced multiple problems, which were all solved by the really awesome support (especially from M Aqib Khan). The devs even provided me with an “early version” just to see if it fixed my problem. Today everything is working and i hope they add new features (like importing weight values for products etc).

    I installed this to support a store being able to accept Square. First, the directions are out of date. Plugin name and interface have been changed. It installed easily and immediately connected. The first three transactions had two failures but both messages indicated a failure from Square, however, Square didn’t show them. By the end of the day, the cart just showed “initializing” and we had several failed transaction that indicated that the API call was missing data. Moving on to another solution.

    Helped me with a performance issue with the WP Sync plugin. Granted me access to a beta version of the software in an attempt to fix it. Very responsive staff. Can’t fault the service!

    Automatic translation from Japanese.I was wondering if you could help me with the WC Shop Sync. My company’s accountant has gone through the procedure,I was going to buy the LIFETIME version of BASIC PLAN,I was supposed to buy the LIFETIME version of BASIC PLAN, but I bought the ANNUAL version of BUSINESS PLAN. Once I used the “14 Day Money-Back Guarantee”,I want to use the “14 Day Money-Back Guarantee” and purchase the LIFETIME version of the BASIC PLAN again.Please let me know how to proceed.
