    Groan..I think we get the idea. You like the plugin. I don’t. I did offer a solution, however: “Buy something that works”. I had no idea my post would get anyone so worked up, or that I needed go into massive amounts of detail reporting what I did to get the thing to work. Short version is that I did try to get them to help, but got little or nothing back from them. I actually tried to hire two guys like you to fix it and they threw up their hands. AFter three weeks of fighting it I threw in the towel and bought something that worked out of the box. That’s all I’m going to say about this. My opinion stands…this plugin is broken! I’m glad you love it though…Happy trails!

    Methinks you protest too much rcano. Before you give me a reading lesson, I would like to point out that I did not quote you in any way. You just said you have “helped” over 50 people fix this plugin. When you say, “I’ve helped” that could mean free or it could be for fees. No way to tell what you meant by that. There is nothing wrong with charging for your time and there is nothing wrong with doing something gratis. I’m sure you do both.

    My point was that at least 50 people you have experience with couldn’t make this stupid plugin work out of the box and had to have outside help…free or otherwise. My point is about the problems with this plugin…not your business practices. This is not about you.

    rcano: Well I’m glad you have figured out a way to make a living helping people fix this plugin and make it work! Somebody has to do it because it certainly doesn’t work out of the box.

    I believe when you pay $50 for a plugin it should meet the same standards of any piece of software you buy. I don’t complain about “free” stuff. When you buy software you expect it to work When you install it. That’s the bottom line. I’m not inclined to pay somebody like you $75 – $100 an hour to fix it.

    And, if you “Web and Plugin Developers” don’t want to hear complaints – then build them better! If you look at the ratings of this plugin you will see that 1/2 of the entries believe this plugin is broken! Finally, you in your own post admit to have been hired by over 50 people to help them fix it and make it work!!! And, I’m sure you don’t have a monopoly on this doing this, so how many other victims have had to hire some “guru” to make it work.

    I do understand, however, that if people quit buying this thing there would be fewer people to hire you to fix it.

    Another thing: I have no relationship or ties to Tribulant software! I found them reading reviews and researching the web. All I wanted was a cart that worked!

    Another thing about “checkout”. List price is $55 (for single site), but you get a 10% discount if you enter the discount code: 2011

    I got the Checkout plugin by Tribulant Software. Got it up and running in about an hour and a half. Very intuitive and I found it really simple to execute. I’m happy. Their site is: http://tribulant.com/plugins/view/10/wordpress-shopping-cart-plugin
