[Plugin: WP e-Commerce] No help/support for customers

  • I purchased their gold cart upgrade two weeks ago and I accidentally entered the wrong email address during checkout. To unlock the upgrade they email you an api key to the email used during checkout. Since it was the wrong email address I never got the key (my fault I know.) I tired emailing the email address given to me at checkout. No response. The only other email address I could find on their site is no longer monitored or supported.

    They have a premium support option on their site for gold cart customers but in order to submit the request you need to enter the api key or the user they assign (both things distributed to the user’s email address at checkout.) Since I can’t access those things I can’t get premium support.

    In their forums they have an open topic to post to in regards to the gold cart upgrade. I posted my problem there. It’s been almost two weeks and still no response there either.

    I have no way of contacting the company that I purchased a product from that they will respond.

    Right now I’d recommend looking at other e-commerce plugins where the support team ACTUALLY responds to you.

  • I’ve posted the exact same issues. Seems they pick and chose who they respond to in support forums. If you can get the simple free plug-in to work fine for your needs all by yourself than it’s a potentially great plug-in. The upgrade on the other hand, is NOT something I’d advise unless you’re a programmer also, who can fix the problems and bugs on your own. Even if you’re that, the API key hostage issue will bring you to a complete standstill.

    There’s nowhere to even request a refund for the upgrade purchase… which is scary, have to open a dispute with your credit card used to undo the regretful purchase.

    I’m willing to wait/be patient for support, but 2 weeks without even so much as an automated response that my requests were delivered via their premium support ‘token’ system… 2 weeks of buggy derelict plugin has cost me 10 times as much as I paid for the upgrade. I gave it a fair chance. I had high hopes. Really disappointed.

    Hi Retro, that’s an easy way to get yourself locked out from Premium Support. Flick me an e-mail and I’ll bounce a message onto Instinct to get your Gold Cart API sorted, can you please include the correct e-mail address as well as the one you used in Checkout.
