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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

    Zip Co is a billion-dollar company and they can’t be bothered to provide an up-to-date plugin.

    PHP 8.2. Getting these errors flooding my debug.log. I don’t want to turn off deprecation warnings as I need them. Is this plugin being worked on? I don’t want to turn Zip Pay off but I am considering it. I’m posting this as a review because it looks like the developer is not responding in the support thread.

    Non existing support: they never answer requests. I notified several issues and never received an answer. The plugin does weird things in the WooCommerce database, as changing the post type of the order while it’s being accepted or not. They say they are compatible with HPOS, but they keep considering that Orders are Posts. If HPOS is enabled and sync with the legacy database schema is disabled, the plugin will cause problems and mess in the database, replacing the type of posts from shop_order_placeholder type to shop_order. This is potentially problematic. This topic was modified 2 years, 2 months ago by David Marín Carreño.

    What they don’t tell you here is that your Zip Payments application is subject to an approval process.🙄 Here’s the reply I got: Thanks for your application.    Hey Zip Partner,Due to our risk policy Zip has unfortunately declined your merchant application. Any application for a Merchant Services Facility from a retailer or business is treated on a stand-alone basis, reviewed against our commercial risk policies, and is at Zip’s discretion after this review. Some of the criteria that were considered as part of your application process include:     Length of time you have been in business (min. 6 months)     Annual business turnover     Your credit history     Operational website and website traffic     The types of products and services you provide to your customers     Shipping and refund policies (products must be delivered within 14 days)   We are unable to support Partners selling pre-paid services or selling to other businesses only. We wish you luck in your future endeavours. Best regards, -The Zip Team How can you get the plugin to work if they reject your merchant application? You can’t, because then they won’t give you the required API key.More of a problem with the onboarding/vetting process than the plugin.But still. They don’t make it easy. Who knows why.No reason given.My guess is that zip discriminates against the financially poor.🤷‍♂️Because it seems that they only want to do B2B with the 1%ers (massive already well-established retailers like JB Hi-Fi, Officeworks & Bunnings). The plugin shouldn’t even be in the wordpress directory in that case. The whole point of wordpress.org is that it is open-source, open to all. Discriminating against buyers is one thing.(as some don’t always pay, sure, understandable)Discriminating against sellers is quite another… Do you really think I’m going to … not deliver my art to someone who buys it? Really?Easier to set up Klarna, AfterPay.🤷‍♂️ This topic was modified 2 years, 7 months ago by lesliedeanbrown. This topic was modified 2 years, 7 months ago by lesliedeanbrown.

    Adds about 10% time to a pages load times, loads on every page even when you aren’t using any of the widgets. This topic was modified 4 years, 7 months ago by alkaway.

    Just undergoing some WordPress maintenance and updating this plugin. I noticed the reviews are few and not that positive. My experience with the plugin has been smooth. Minimal updates when I first installed a few updates but worked nonetheless. Seems to be better supported now. Would be great if there were a few tweaks made to improve load times (as noted in one of the support threads).

    With a few clicks I found this plugin incredibly easy to setup and get my clients store setup to use zipPay + zipMoney as a payment option in Woocommerce. Works great and haven’t had any problems a month into using it.

    If you’re looking to integrate zipmoney via a plugin, this is definitely the solution, since by the company zipmoney itself. to be honest, little confusing experience (even for a developer) bottomline: after some fiddling, great features! like the landing page etc, very well thought of. banners etc could be a bit better but you can embed cool linked banners yourself where you need them. Still confused that I wanted the zipmoney landing page and it shows the zipPay landing page… And I hope that one the 19th the plugin will have all changes correctly done with the rebranding, so it’s a hassle free switch to their new branding. Status 18 Jun 2018 P.S. thanks for the reply here in wordpress.org too! cheers! This topic was modified 8 years, 1 month ago by konradS.
