Our Customers Say

Excellent Plugin! We use this plugin to add enquiries (email and whatsapp) and downloads tabs to products. This really helps to keep important info front and centre, without it getting lost within lengthy product descriptions. I also helps massively when changes are made to forms and downloads as they can be made in one simple interface instead of multiple edits to the actual products.
