– By @Gert Maetze👨 Excellent software, excellent support
We had some problems with initial configuration, and there is one plugin that is required which is currently suspended, but Nitesh and his team were able to resolve our problems in extremely short order, and our charity auction is running perfectly. Definitely fit to purpose.
– By @Charles W👨 Amazing Customer Support
Honestly, customer support are so helpful! I cannot rate them enough for the support I received. The issue wasn’t even with their plugin – it was a theme issue and they still supported me and offered great advice.
– By @storageauctionsnearme💁 Worked well and quick and helpful support
We needed to run a one-off auction, so couldn’t justify a paid extension. Even though we used the free one, we got very quick and helpful support with some questions. Auction went well and we may do more in the future because it went well.
