Reviews

Awesome

December 6, 2020
Plugin works in a great way with variable products

Not working

December 3, 2020
Nothing is displayed in Product Page. Author website is dead. I use the latest version on WordPress. Wordpress say that this plugin is not tested. But looks good.

So much spam

May 7, 2020
This plugin creates so much spam and shameless self-plugs everywhere in the backend that you want to delete it ASAP as an admin. The bright orange color of the product swatch tab goes against any design guideline. Spammy product.
