Thanks for confirmation about Attributes. I would consider this closed as I went to WooCommerce > Status > Tools and ran 3 tools, which seemed to clear the problem:

• Clear transients (which didn’t seem to help)
• Re-schedule expired transient files cleanup
• Un-schedule expired transient files cleanup

Thanks! That did it. Must have been quotes issue. I am using Chrome on Windows 10.

Thanks. I will try that. Just confused why your plugin inserts a whole new send email feature vs building upon the one already part of WooCommerce. Just redundant and confusing. It would be ideal to turn this feature on and off in the settings. My clients were confused as was I. Thanks.

1) We have an established system for making feature requests here: http://slicedinvoices.com/developers/feature-requests. Leaving a 1-star review instead does not encourage me to want to develop new features.

2) We have a separate WooCommerce integration called Woo Invoices. Did you even try it? If you did you would have noticed two things: 1) to add line items, you have to do so from the order, *not* from the invoice. The invoice will be updated automatically based on the order, not the other way around. We even put a message about this right at the top of the page to remind you. 2) Tax calculations are pulled in from WooCommerce. So again, if you want to change tax settings, change the order, *not* the invoice.

3) The whole purpose of Sliced Invoices IS to help professionals and small business do their billing! (i.e. what you call “ad hoc” services.) You make it sound like this is just some small side feature, but it’s actually the core of what we are all about. If that’s not what you’re looking for, if what you need is WooCommerce-specific functionality beyond the simple integration we offer, then why not find some other plugin specifically made for that purpose? I don’t understand why you would trash us for simply being what we are, as opposed to being some other kind of plugin that apparently you think we should be.

It’s not that we’re advertising some feature “X” that doesn’t work — if we were I could understand the bad review. No, this is simply a review that says to me “thanks for putting a huge chunk of your life into developing this free plugin but it’s all garbage because you only did 97 of the 99 things I need, so I’m going to punish you by trashing your rating here.” Like Paul Kerin says, “Try mowing your neighbours lawn for free for 12 months, and then have him complain about the quality of the job you do”. That’s all this review does.

This is an open source project so if you want to encourage new development, there are lots of better ways to do it. But a review like this one doesn’t help anybody.

Is there a reason you have gotten so personal? If you are going to be in the product management business, you need to value basic feedback like feature requests. Sorry it was made in the wrong place. It’s a one star because it’s unusable for me and my client, no other reason. I edited my reply and gave you three stars if that helps. My goal is not to discourage development at all. I provided very specific feedback, not randomness.

I would happily pay for an add-on but did not find one that met my needs. If I missed one of your premium add-ons, this could have been a chance to educate me and get me to purchase an add-on.

I am not mad. You seem to be frustrated. I took the time to install and test your software. I USED it and configured all backend settings.

I will surely check out the WooCommerce add-on. I went with your better adopted product that seemed to also be “for WooCommerce.” So perhaps pointing me to your other software would have been nice without all the commentary. I will check it out as it has two features of the three! Not bad. In fact, since it is architect-ed from the order >>> invoice and not a quote/invoice turning into an order, that is an excellent thing and probably better. By ad hoc, I meant running a consulting company of professional service or something, not a company with 2000 auto parts (like my client) with 1,000’s of customers. So if you want to create an invoice/quote from an existing customer and can’t, it’s a deal breaker for my client…He wants to pull up all the Bill to, Ship to information of a customer and sell more products from his catalog.

If (and I don’t know), the plugin is geared more towards pro-services or something, then perhaps it can be branded as such. I just took it to be a generic plugin for a product store like my clients.

Since you seem to be an engineer…let me walk you through my purchase behavior. I was looking for a WooCommerce compatible plugin that provided invoice functionality. Then I saw yours based on keyword searches at ww.wp.xz.cn (e.g. woocommerce invoice). Your other plugin did not rank as highly as it seems to be newer, less reviews, etc.

So apologize for the one star. You have built alot. It’s tough to shop for plugins! You do it quickly. I didn’t mean to offend, just offer feedback…I get your one-star feedback. Noted.
