Incredible product from an amazing team. I had a very niche problem that does not have many solutions and this plug-in solved it perfectly for me. Outside of the plugin the support I received was fast and with attention to detail. Brilliant!

One of the WooCommerce-based projects needed a solution that would allow the transfer and synchronization of products via various APIs from different suppliers/wholesalers. For a long time we could not find a solution that would meet expectations (both technical and price). Then I came across a great solution from miniOrange. You can test everything before purchasing, I could see the plugin in action on a special Google Meets. The entire process is accompanied by great support, with a very quick response time. Possibility of customization according to needs. I sincerely recommend it!
