# Talented Developers that stand by their product

 * **Update:**
 * Despite two major hiccups in setting up this plugin (one regarding virtual products
   and one regarding express checkouts) that initially led me to leave a one star
   review, Adam took the time to respond comprehensively and respectfully, even 
   in the face of an angry and short tempered customer such as myself. It’s rare
   to see plugin developers for WordPress make the extra effort to improve and provide
   a quality product to help overcome WooCommerce’s significant shortcomings, so
   this was a welcome relief, and I’m glad in spite of being a curmudgeon about 
   it CartFlows still worked hard to find a resolution on my behalf.
 * After a few email exchanges with the internal development team at CartFlows we
   were able to resolve the issue to my satisfaction, and I now look forward to 
   using this plugin to help improve our revenue stream.

 * Hi Frank, Adam here. I am one of the co-founders of CartFlows.
 * First off, thanks for taking the time to write a review here even though it gives
   CartFlows a poor impression. Let me try to unpack your review here and shed some
   light on some of the statements made.
 * So I see you have opened up 4 support tickets. Let’s review these here.
    – Saturday,
   Feb 20th, 2:21am a ticket was opened up regarding analytics. We responded on 
   the 21st at 3:43pm. Keep in mind we don’t publicly state that we have support
   on the weekends, however our team pitches in over the weekends to help. – Thursday,
   Feb 25th, 11:39pm a ticket was open regarding one-page checkout. We responded
   on the 26th at 11:57am. – Thursday, March 11th, 11:16pm a ticket was opened regarding
   shipping address and virtual products. We responded on the 12th at 8:48pm. This
   one had to go to one of our engineers which may explain why there were 2 typos
   in the email response you received. This was an odd one because we can’t possibly
   account for every scenario someone may encounter. CartFlows is being used on 
   nearly 200k websites and has been on the market for almost 3 years. In that time,
   not once has this ever come up. So we provided an option for you and added your
   request to our custom development task list. – Friday, March 12th, 9:59pm a ticket
   was opened regarding Apple Pay and Google Pay. We responded on the 13th at 6:
   50pm. In this instance, our support rep responded with a screenshot and a short
   video. You responded by asking him to try in Google Chrome. Since this was a 
   few hours ago, the ticket is still open and we sent a reply that this had to 
   go to our dev team.
 * So with that information, let’s address the specific points you are bringing 
   up.
    – The issue of using our CartFlows Pro feature, Product Options, when you
   are offering a virtual and a physical product. This is the case where this is
   the first time this has ever come up after over 100k users of CartFlows, not 
   once has anyone ever come against this. We responded with an alternative way 
   to approach it and added this to our custom development task list. I understand
   that hearing that doesn’t solve your problem right this second, but this was 
   literally just reported 48 hours ago and it’s currently the weekend. I really
   don’t see anything we could have done differently here.
 * – The issue of express checkouts. This is an open ticket and we haven’t responded
   stating that we don’t support it. Your request was just opened up last night 
   and it’s currently the weekend. Please allow at least a reasonable time for us
   to see what is happening there.
 * Your criticism of our support. This is really hard to read because I reviewed
   every ticket that you opened and I am not seeing that at all.
 * – We have promptly responded to every request you made, even when they were on
   the weekend.
    – Each response provided clear answers, direction, solutions. –
   I don’t see how any of our responses could be interpreted as “insulting your 
   intelligence” nor did we ever request that you deactivate anything. – The only
   response that contained a grammatical error was when our engineer responded to
   you. I am sure it wasn’t done intentionally. – Your statement about us claiming
   that noting is wrong, this simply never happened in any of the responses to you.
   When you opened a request about Apple Pay and Google Play, we visited your website
   and there were no Apply Pay or Google Pay express checkout buttons on the checkout
   so we responded to let you know that. I am not sure what you think would have
   been a reasonable alternative for us to do there.
 * Most premium WordPress products provide support in 2 – 3 days. For CartFlows 
   Pro we state that we will respond in 24 hours Monday – Friday. Because we are
   committed to our customer’s success, we have support most hours of the day and
   on weekends.
 * In all of your interactions with our support, we promptly responded every time
   regardless of time zone and whether it was the weekend. We were polite, professional,
   and always tried to provide a solution.
 * When I read these reviews I try to see what we can improve. Yet I am having a
   tough time here. The only reasonable thing we could have done better was the 
   grammatical error our engineer made.

 * Thanks for your response Adam.
 * I wanted to point out a couple of things: one is that I was I fact asked if I
   deactivated all plugins and changed the theme. I realize this is a stock answer
   but it’s still frustrating to see it as it is a waste of my time and only prolongs
   fixing the issue. It may not have been said explicitly but the allusion is that
   this is a user error and nothing to do with the plug-in.
 * To provide some context I’ve been getting this same stock answer dealing with
   other technical issues regarding different plugins (that did turn out to be plug-
   in related after all) so at this point once I had to deal with CartFlows as well
   I had zero patience left, so maybe I read too much into the responses.
 * I also did not receive a screenshot or video either.
 * Still, I don’t see how Express Checkouts is supported as is, you have to rely
   on functions to enable and place them, and they have no link to the products 
   at all, so when you switch back and forth between different product selections
   the default product details in Google/Apple Pay remains the same.
 * This has been a completely frustrating experience overall, a funnel that I expected
   to set up in an hour has now instead stretched into a week with no resolution
   yet. I’m angry but I should have been more patient and charitable so I apologize
   for that. I will of course adjust my review if this can still be resolved and
   I’m able to use the plug-in as expected.

 * The review has been updated, thanks for being cordial and professional about 
   this even though you had no obligation to be.
