Reviews
Super lightweight, Easy to use, Fantastic support
By mcp1997 on July 4, 2025
I chose this plugin because my client does not need anything close to the size of Woocommerce, and I wanted to optimize the website as best as I could to keep hosting cheap. This plugin was the perfect solution, and fairly easy to get setup. Sure, some of the implementation could use some improvement, but I was able to reach out to the developer and get lightning fast responses, and he even pushed out an update right away to fix an issue I was having.
Please give this plugin a shot if you need something lightweight. I assure you any problem you might have the developer will be able to help you, and quickly.
So so...
