User sentiment analysis

Users appreciate the WordPress plugin for its ease of use, stable performance, and quick, responsive support. It's effective for selling downloadable items like music and e-books, and the plugin works well with any WordPress theme, although some CSS modifications might be necessary for optimal appearance. Users value the customizable templates and the integration of payment methods like PayPal's sandbox for testing. However, the plugin has drawbacks: limited coupon functionality, unclear setup instructions, and insufficient security on download links. Users express frustration over the high cost, restricted features in the free version, and difficulties with translations. The need for better functionality and clearer documentation is also highlighted.

I chose (and sadly paid for) this program from reading what was offered. I needed something to sell downloads but that had the feature to give them at no charge to people who qualify for a free gift. A coupon code is what you need, right? Offer it with a “code’ that they apply at checkout and make the discount 100%. Unfortunately the code offered by this program lets just ONE person redeem it, then it goes inactive. It also is not per product, but for the entire catalog of products. I don’t wish to give everything on my site free, just the one that was qualified for. Still trying to figure out a way to make this work since the cost is so high.

Instructions are not clear as to how to set this up to get purchase control. All sorts of demonstrating except how to insert the proper purchase link onto a page. meh

I installed this plug in for a non-techie client who is selling mp3 downloads of her music. The plug in is working well for her without any problems. I appreciate all of the hard work you’ve put into it.
