User sentiment analysis

Users generally praise the Wordpress plugin for its easy integration, excellent customer support, and its capability to handle complex transactions, including advanced features like customizing payment banners. Another standout point is the support team's rapid and helpful responses, often going above expectations to resolve issues, even providing specific coding solutions. However, significant drawbacks are reported. Users have experienced critical issues like failed or duplicate payments, inconsistencies in payment processing, and bugs related to updates. These problems have sometimes resulted in considerable financial losses and operational disruptions. Additionally, customization options are limited, and technical support can be inconsistent, with some cases of unresolved issues and delayed responses.

J’ai installé l’extension, l’ai péniblement configuré pour que rien ne s’affiche dans la page de commande. Pas merci !

I tried going through the support forum after getting my site back up, thanks to IONIS. I found how to submit a request, but it asks for a status report, which I copied and pasted, but the button to submit was greyed out so I couldn’t send it. I looked for a phone number, and couldn’t find one. I finally found out if I upgraded, I could get support. Why give a free product if you don’t intend to support it? I cannot use WooCommerce PayPay because of this issue.

The new update results in the error “There has been a critical error on this website”. Had to bring back the site with a backup and lost some work I did that day. Are these things even tested before they are uploaded? Because I’ve never had an update crash my entire site like this.

I didn’t want to install this after reading the reviews, but was forced to by WooCommerce. It worked fine for years until a few days ago. The latest update caused “There has been a critical error on this website. Please check your site admin email inbox for instructions.” The entire site is now down. The email sent me to a WordPress recovery mode, which reactivated the site, but payments were not working. I reactivated the plugin and problems came back, site is down. I went back to recovery mode, turned off recovery mode and I get “Recovery Mode not initialized.” with no way to get out of this. Woo provides no useful way to get out of this. except for boxed advice for simple issues, there is no support for issues caused by crappy coding. No human interface for something not easily boxed. I’m completely disappointed. I have influence with several WooCommerce websites and will not be recommending WooCommerce in the future.
