Best shopping cart solution out there!

5.0 5 years ago

Comments: Overall experience is just awesome! If you are looking for a shopping cart solution, then don’t look further… Buy Plug&Paid, you won’t regret it! ;-)

Pros:

Since i bought it there has been regular updates, and the future looks very promising. They keep innovating the product and the team behind it is very user orientated. Support has been superb! Small issues were dealt with immediately and a function that i needed they made sure i have it when i need it. The whole platform is super well done and you can use it literally everywhere! Put it on your website, social media in an email, etc. Awesome, awesome!

Cons:

Nothing right now. When they started out, they were building the product and many features were coming. Right now it is pretty much complete and i am not missing anything.

Really Simple to Start Selling ASAP

4.0 5 years ago

Comments: Does what it promotes and advertises. Happy that developers are actively improving the saas

Pros:

The onboarding process is simple. First, we just have to choose the product type which we'll be selling (eg. subscription-based, physical item) and follow through the prompts. A plug will be created and we can start sending traffic to the url or embed within our hosted webpage. User-friendly process.

Cons:

My screen resolution is still 1366px x 768px and i've to zoom out so i can see the complete details/ information. Not a big thing but maybe place a vertical scrollbar so at least users can see there's more info below.

Boost my process to sell digital product but...

4.0 5 years ago

Comments: Happy to buy it from Appsumo at a very affordable price.
Hope the vendor can improve the product as I mentioned above.

Pros:

Easy to use, just set up the product and plug anywhere you want.

Cons:

The UI/UX needs to improve. Some functions need to enhance (coupon code, up sell...)

Good basic shopping cart

4.0 5 years ago

Comments: It is a better more professional option than just using a paypal button and once you have the hang of the set up it is easy

Pros:

It works well and it is quite easy to set up and add to a website while it can also be used to send as a link via social media or emails which make sit nice and flexible.

Cons:

I was a little confused initially by having to set up products and then plugs which seemed very similar yet different.

Plug&paid helped me turn my Wordpress site into a storefront in very easy-to-follow steps.

5.0 7 years ago

Comments: The software has enabled me customize my website into a storefront. This has rendered the former middlemen redundant. My customers can now directly order for products from my website. This improves their online shopping experience on top of increasing my margins as a vendor.

Pros:

What amazes me most with this software is the ability to allow my page visitors buy products directly from the page. With the middlemen cut out, my customers now enjoy shopping in a secure platform that guarantees the safety of their personal details. I no longer have to configure my store in a separate platform away from my website. This also increased my profits by eliminating the fees for middlemen. The software is also very easy to set up and use. I was able to do it in a few minutes. I particularly liked its ability to be tailored to fit my website's existing design. By accepting several payment options such as Paypal, Stripe, Alipay and Bitpay, my customers round the world find it very convenient to shop. The EU VAT automation also won my heart. I no longer have to manually do the calculations and generate invoices.

Cons:

I'm eagerly waiting for the day when the software will include calculated shipping. This is one shortfall I find with Plug&Paid.

Pretty Easy to Start Collecting Payment Fast

4.0 6 years ago

Comments: Thumbs Up!

Pros:

Sometime we just want a simple online shopping cart/ payment method that doesn't require any domain/hosting/ecom setup and that's where Plug n Paid comes in efficiently. The whole process from creating the product details, price, payment options to generated url link is simple enough for anyone without technical knowledge (credits to its clean UX in the backend).

Cons:

Currently there's no way to use it for adding multiple products but spoken to the developers, it's on the roadmap. Another frustration is there's no buyers/clients/paid users area where they can track their past payment with us.

I always hoped someone would build this

5.0 5 years ago

Comments: Brilliant piece of software, you can create discounts, coupons, invoices - and I've noticed that it looks like tracking affiliates is coming soon!

Pros:

I love that you can share a link on social media and have someone buy your offer directly without having to build landing pages or websites. The dashboard is intuitive to use and I plan to use plug&paid to sell membership subscriptions and digital products going forward because I hadn't realised that the digital delivery of goods is included in the service. Basically everything you're looking for if you are starting an online business!

Cons:

I can't think of anything so far which I don't like about this software - it really is great to use!

Best Shop Option on Single Link

5.0 6 years ago

Comments: Overall experience is good but need some improvements and features.

Pros:

I like the concept of this app, you can sell physical and digital products both from this single app. Best part is , you can integrate more than one payment gateway on the same account. Right now they support credit cards, Alipay, Giropay and paypal, and working on Indian payment gateway also as per their official mail.

Cons:

You have no option of sell many products on single link, you have to create separate links for different products but now they are working on multi-cart feature. Hope this will available soon.

Literally Solves Our Once Complicated Cart Problems

4.0 6 years ago

Comments: Loving it

Pros:

Simply love the simplicity to create a 'plug', display it where we want (with a url link), then process orders online. The whole flow is a breeze and we no longer require something like magento or woocommerce to start accepting online payments for our services.

Cons:

One of the issue we're facing is there seems no way to track past history orders from a certain entity or email address. This can be quite frustrating as we feel past orders history will benefit both our buyers (know what and how much they had invested in our brand) and ourselves (to make some marketing decisions)

Super simple payment gateway

4.0 6 years ago

Comments: Plug&Paid simplifies selling online very much. I'm extremely happy with it, but I would like to see some improvements.

Pros:

Plug&Paid has provided me with an easy to use gateway to sell my digital products. You can also sell services, which I haven't used yet, but might in the future. I like how simple it is to set up, share the link and get paid.

Cons:

The only problem with Plug&Paid is that it is sometimes too simple and you cannot upsell/downsell or sell multiple products at once.

Pros:

Inexpensive with lot of features, great affordable checkout.

Finally a Cart System without requiring a website

4.0 6 years ago

Comments: Works Great

Pros:

Is so easy to start selling a service online with 'plugs'. There' no need to create an ecommerce site, host anything. Plug n Paid pretty much does it all for us. They take care of digital delivery, site speed, security and online payment processing. Impressed.

Cons:

No ability for users to register and login to see what they've paid/bought/transacted with us. Most of the ecom providers have this feature and we hope Plug n Paid will also implement.. especially if Plug n Paid intends to be an authority in hosted ecomm cart Saas.

Plug&Paid is all you need to have an effective store button

5.0 7 years ago

Pros:

When my friend and business partner suggested we use Plug&Paid for our shared store, I was apprehensive at first, until I became familiar with it and saw how effective it was at directing traffic to where I needed it to go.

Cons:

I think it has even more room in regard to what platforms it could integrate with in regard to directing traffic from point A to B.
