Been pretty disappointed with the support for WooCommerce Checkout Manager from QuadLayers. The support tech responding speaks broken English and doesn’t seem very interested in really helping. All answers thus far have been essentially, “sorry, that’s all our plugin does. Can’t help you.” Even their ticketing system is frustrating, as it doesn’t show your response immediately nor does it email you when they respond. Overall, a real “dud” of an experience with customer service.
