Reviews

October 14, 2021
Been a customer for three years and where the support was great at start, it is awfull now. Eventhough there are several application bugs, they are unwilling to do anything about it and just mention it might be in the development scope. Just a minor bu like registered users in your wordpress system cannot be converted to affiliates through forms.
