An excellent API and excellent support
by egalland·8 months ago

I have the free version of miniOrange Custom API installed on my site since I only require a specific API, and it’s more than enough for my needs. After an update, the API I was using stopped working, so I contacted the support team. Even though I didn’t have the paid version, they listened to me and resolved the issue I reported in the next update, and everything went back to normal. I’m grateful to Sukhada for the support provided, and please don’t hesitate to install this wonderful plugin.

API importer it is a bit on the expensive side but will save you hundreds of hours of importing products to your website. So it is balancing out. Customer service and help is excellent. If you have to import large number of products to your website I really recommend this plugin.

Miniorange is the best product API importer
by garmentdecor·10 months ago

I’m happy to say that Mini Orange exceeded all my expectations, and their customer service, especially from Swapnil, has been the best I’ve ever experienced.

While searching for a reliable plugin to import products into our WordPress site via API from suppliers like S&S Activewear and SanMar, I came across Mini Orange. Naturally, I was cautious. I needed an enterprise-level solution that could handle large product imports and allow for seamless integration

And, I couldn’t be happier. This plugin has allowed me to seamlessly import thousands of products, saving countless hours of manual work. I’ve been able to get live inventory, variation images, category syncing, and more.

Swapnil has been an incredible partner from day one. He has guided me through every step of the process, ensuring the project’s success, and going above and beyond to help me get the most out of the software. He truly treats your success as his own. I can’t put into words how much better this plugin is with him supporting you every step of the way.

If you’re looking for the best plugin to import products into WordPress, look no further. This is the only plugin you will ever need.

SanMar Integration

Swapnil did an incredible job helping me add products to my website using the SanMar integration. In depth tutorials were given and demonstrations when needed. He saved me hours of time.

MiniOrange does wonders!
by zaidahhmed·1 year ago

We had the pleasure of working with MiniOrange to integrate our hotel booking website with our property management system using APIs and webhooks, and the experience was nothing short of outstanding!

From the start, the team at MiniOrange took the time to understand our requirements thoroughly and delivered exactly what we needed. Despite our extremely tight deadlines, they remained highly responsive and ensured that we got the best results without compromising on quality.

Our goal was to have a real-time booking engine that seamlessly syncs with our PMS, keeping room availability, pricing, and reservations updated across multiple platforms. They successfully developed a system that ensures prices update dynamically, availability remains accurate, and any reservations made on our website are instantly reflected in our PMS with all the necessary details. They also ensured that bookings are only confirmed once payment is verified with our payment gateway partner, aligning perfectly with our operational requirements.

Despite facing limitations due to our WordPress theme, MiniOrange went above and beyond to overcome those challenges, delivering a smooth and efficient solution that exceeded our expectations. Their work on the backend is exceptionally clean, optimized, and reliable, ensuring long-term stability and ease of management.

A special thanks to Vidushi Gupta, Rohit Sharma, Sharshdeep Saluja, and the entire MiniOrange team for their dedication, expertise, and professionalism. Their services are also cost-effective, making them a great choice for businesses in the hospitality industry.

If you’re looking for a team that can handle complex integrations, deliver tailored solutions, and work under pressure while maintaining high standards, MiniOrange is the perfect partner. Highly recommended!
