User sentiment analysis

Users appreciate the plugin for its ease of use, seamless integration, and clean checkout process, which aids in preserving customer retention during transactions. The quick setup, convenience of handling both PayPal and credit cards in one plugin, and generally favorable interaction with detailed support when available are notable pros. However, several users experienced significant issues, including outdated elements, deprecated warnings, compatibility failures with server updates, unresolved bugs, and ineffective fraud protection. Many reviews highlight poor and unresponsive customer support, which exacerbates technical difficulties and leaves unresolved problems, ultimately leading to frustration and lost sales opportunities.

The plugin seems fine. Support–especially here on wordpress.org–can be pretty terrible. This rating is for plugin support.

The plugin still uses the Godaddy Plugin Framework and ends up throwing deprecated warnings on subscription renewals. We’ve raised a bug on the support forums regarding a deprecated warning, which they closed as “resolved” to make their stats look good and via woocommerce.com (where you can’t see the number of open tickets) and this is still pending 3 months later and “At this time, there is no ETA for the fix.”. Furthermore, contrary to the Stripe plugin, they keep this in a private repo, so we can’t send a PR either, so we have to rely solely on their goodwill to resolve this 10-minute bug. There’s no reason to keep a free plugin in a private repo… p.s. to the support moderator who rejected my previous review saying “I have removed your review. Please do not use the review section for support.”. Your comment is completely invalid. This IS a REVIEW and NOT a support request – I’ve already requested support via the appropriate channels. Here, I am REVIEWING the support we receive from this plugin and the way the dev team of this plugin handles bug requests. I get that nobody likes negative reviews, but others have the right to read genuine reviews and decide accordingly before deciding which plugin to use. This REWIEW is within the guidelines and there’s no genuine reason for removal. This topic was modified 11 months ago by George.

The plugin is very easy to use, and they have a great support team.

Braintree claims to be available in Australia but there is no way to setup an account nor does the sales team respond. Just not interested in getting new customers.

Put $100k plus through their parent company, PayPal, but can I get a simple response to a tech request, as if. It’s been a whole day of support going “hit email response 79, 48, 86” whatever, just don’t answer the question. Steer clear. This topic was modified 2 years, 4 months ago by nitsa100.
