★ WHY IS IT BETTER, THAN SIMILAR EXTENSIONS? ★

Smart Seller was created by people, who have huge experience in selling files. It has several unique features and so easy to use, that you won't even notice, how it works. You customers will buy files, get a notifications with download information and licensing limits, see the list of all purchased files and renew them without asking for your help. All is done automatically and basically require only to upload files and put a {smartseller} marker in any place of you site (article, module, footer, header, you name it). To make it even better, we've added our popular Price Converter plugin in Smart Seller. If you have an international store, your buyers will love it!

Waste of time



Posted on 04 June 2020
Functionality
There's no way to test the functionality because the tooltips aren't clear, and some are missing, and the documentation is very incomplete.
Ease of use
It looks like it would be a good extension - if there was decent documentation or the author was willing to answer simple questions.
Support
I had a question related to a function that was not documented, and all I got was "there's no support at all for this"
Documentation
The documentation is poorly written, and at least one major function is not documented at all.
I used this to: I'm not using this, because of the notes I made above. It would be a nice product, except the author is not willing to answer questions even about features that should be documented but aren't
Owner's reply: I think I was very clear in my reply: this particular extension comes without any support. Not sure why it wasn't clear for you.
