Doesn’t mention it’s a paid product before installation

Hi,

Thanks for leaving this review but you must be misunderstanding. This is not a paid product at all.

There is no misunderstanding, the product is not fully functional and has a paid version,
which is almost impossible to know until you install it.

It shows this in the plugin description:

ELITE PAID FEATURES
WPML / WCML support
Aelia currency switcher support
Polylang support
TranslatePress support
Addition of the extra fields on your product edit pages
Data manipulation feature
WooCommerce structured data bug fix

Aswel with every topic description in the header is shows.

*Looks. Reads.*

@yaron_elh You may not like the features that are not in the opensource and 100% supported by unpaid volunteers but your review is wrong.

There are many features that come with this plugin. You’re unhappy that plugin developers upsell here but that is allowed and this is not “trialware” and not a non-functional plugin as you make it out to be.

The two posters above me are obviously invested in the product, so they have a very specific perspective regarding this. also they miss categorize what I say And that’s fine, but to be clear.

When I wrote this review it was almost impossible to understand that this is a paid product, let me emphasize that there’s nothing wrong with having a paid product, a partially paid product, trial version, on up sale product, or any other type of mixed free/paid product.

It is common, and expected. the rating I’ve provided is solely regarding pre-installation clarity, and whether finding out after the installation should be a red flag for user trust. for me it is.

I also acknowledged that the whole thing could be an oversight by the development team, But the comments above leads me to lean toward this being a marketing strategy, maybe it is maybe it isn’t, I can only comment on the end result.

I agree with yaron_elh !

I have seen plenty of this type of tactic with other plugins. It is very frustrating when you finally pick what appears to be a good fit for your website to install a plugin ONLY to find “After” installing it that to have any value to your site you need to Activate and PAY. Yes, we don’t mind paying IF you know that to be the case Before installing. Just COMPLETELY Wastes your time and Certainly REDUCES your trust in the Author and any other plugin the are involved with.

Maybe they consider the “Risk V Reward” system in employing this tactic !

I also Agree that the posters above, Jan Dembowski is Or may be “Invested” in the Product. WHY? would a “Moderator” Jump to the defense of a Plugin, or (Author) like that? Surely that is for the Plugin Author NOT the Moderator.

I have seen this before as well, and Wholeheartedly disagree with ANY Moderator sticking their nose in. Yes, moderate the Community, but Not to the extent of defending a Plugin, that’s none of their business HOW an Author of a Plugin decides to run the Business model.
It’s Called ” impartiality” which is what a Moderator should be. Is it Not?

Huh, I submit and I receive: This post has been held for moderation by our automated system and will be manually reviewed by a moderator.

Bet this does not get approved, or I will be blocked or removed! se la vie
