Don't waste your time

  • The free version of this plug-in does, literally, nothing. The shortcodes don’t work nor does the widget appear in your widget menu. So I decided to fork over the $20 for the paid version. Even worse! It works, minimally, but it looks NOTHING like the demo site. Instead of a nice row of 3 listings, I got a row of TINY listings (6 to a row) in haphazard order. The listings will not be arranged the way you’ve painstakingly arranged them in your Etsy shop. They’ll just be thrown in there (maybe by date listed) and you can’t change this. The the sidebar shop categories appear in the sidebar as promised but- oops – the links are broken. They lead nowhere.

    Then, if you can get past all of this, the listings themselves are all janky. The ‘materials’ list is the most prominent thing someone sees when they open your listing. ????????? WHY would anyone ever want that to be prominently displayed?? Obviously I want the item description to be the most prominent thing.

    THEN, if you can get past all of THAT, the shipping/policies tab is all messed-up. My items show “United States” about THIRTY TIMES with the international shipping price. Then on the very last “United States” (as if anyone would scroll all the way down there), the correct US shipping cost is listed. My international shipping destinations have disappeared altogether.

    The little video tutorials are great I suppose, but that is ALL you will get from these folks. You cannot adjust anything or fix anything unless you have advanced programming knowledge and if you have that- you wouldn’t need the plug-in. Completely useless. I’m going to ask Paypal to get my money back immediately.

  • You might try putting in a ticket with their support desk, or looking to see if one of your plug-ins or something about your theme is causing a compatibility issue (that was my problem). I found the customer support system very helpful.

    Their FREE version DOES do something. It provides a convenient way to promote Shop owners listing on their website. To say “free version of this plug-in does, literally, nothing” is not really a valid statement.

    I’ve been using it for sometime now and before purchasing their product I READ their features list which DOES meet what they are selling. There’s nothing in the features list that says you can define the number of columns for your shop listing page. That would be a nice feature, which I have requested for their next release.

    The sorting of listings coming back from Etsy are not controlled by Etsy360 because it’s a limitation by Etsy NOT the developers of Etsy360. Again, it’s not mentioned that there are any sorting options such as custom sorting.

    Their video tutorials and customer support is GREAT (I’ve also used them)… and judging by the above satisfied customer, it contradicts your comment.

    In conclusion, you have some nerve making statements like these without first understanding what you are buying. I would say to those that are considering Etsy360 for their website….GO FOR IT!
