 [BobHatcher](https://profiles.wordpress.org/bobhatcher/) ఏప్రిల్ 16, 2024

I find the info from this plugin indispensable but am disappointed it hasn’t been
updated in a long time. What’s happened?

 [glenkpeterson](https://profiles.wordpress.org/glenkpeterson/) జనవరి 29, 2020

We find this plugin useful, but it takes up more space in our database than the 
entire rest of our site! I’m on the technical side, so I can say that it’s not obviously
slowing our site down, which is good. I know our business side finds the data useful
and looks at it regularly.

 [Shapir-Vi](https://profiles.wordpress.org/shapirvi/) ఏప్రిల్ 11, 2018

Прекрасный плагин, довольна много параметров отслеживания покупателей. Если кому-
то не будит хватать, можно заказать под свои нужды дополнительный параметр. Жаль
что пока нет в валюте Украинской гривны, надеюсь она вскоре появится. Желаю удачи
в разработке. Успехов.

Hi, Hats off to the Tao team that built this. This is an amazing plugin: clean, 
concise, detailed (without it being overwhelming), and very intuitive. It doesn’t
take much to understand how it works. Thanks a bunch for releasing this to the public.
I’ll definitely be buying one of your addons (Import & Export) in the near future
to support you. Keep up the amazing work.

I have rarely seen such professionalism in a WP plugin. The UX design is also brilliantly
done! 5 stars for sure
