Not easy to use. Also, must buy monthly subscription to display the barcode image on your website. The Free version just displays numbers.

Works like a perfect plugin. Support solved the issue in an instant

Excellent Plugin & Support

mfghost January 17, 2024 2 replies

I was having an issue with the EAN numbers not showing correctly on some of the products on my site and was stuck. I posted in the support forum and was instructed on how to fix the issue and it worked. This is the fastest I’ve ever received help+how to fix on this forum. The plugin is perfect and works great and the support is great.

Easy plug-and-play plugin!
