Popups for WooCommerce: Add to Cart… Reviews
Excellent!!!!
Nice and easy. It does hide the original messages w/o the Pro version. Not sure what that other reviewer experienced, but my admin section has that option. Easy to style if you scope your CSS properly
Not very useful as it is
Like many “freemium” plugins nowadays, Pop-up notices for WooCommerce wants you to buy the “Pro” version. Which is OK I guess, if the free version provides at least some basic functionality. Problem
Super plugin and support
Best woocommerce notifications plugin, super support, Pablo is the top of the developer
