Reviews

Favorite web to print designer

wordsfactory January 10, 2017

Have to say one of the most interesting web to print designers for wordpress that I found. They could improve on the documentation, but still a very powerful tool.

Unprofessional

kk78 December 28, 2016

One more W2P plugin that costs more than gold but doesn’t work properly. On top of that, a very poor customer service.It took me more than few attempts to get In touch with them but they certainly didn’t bother to contact me back as promised. You get all that for few hundred dollars per month! Give me a break!

Great plugin

wcards September 3, 2016
