This plugin fits my clients needs perfectly and the developer support was excellent! I looked for somewhere to donate? Thanks very much again ?? -DG
Intuitive to set up and worked like a charm upon testing. The ease in changing parameters (for example, prices) is really appreciated too.
Thanks from someone working on his first website.
