Smart Coupons for WooCommerce plugin

Glad you got it sorted! Badly coded plugins are such a pain. Have you let the develoeprs know about it?

@d-healey Thank you.

Have you let the develoeprs know about it?

Not yet, but I certainly will. It is not a cheap plugin either ($120), and they want that amount every year to get updates and support. Insane.

Insane.

I had some custom work done on a licensing plugin and it works great, but they released an update last year and didn't include these extras and haven't sent me an updated version with the changes. So now I'm stuck on an old version. I'm very tempted to fork their premium version, implement the changes myself, and put it on github for all to enjoy.

@d-healey Yeah, I have a customized discount plugin that I hired a developer to customize. The original plugin was updated, and I am stuck with the slightly older customized version. I am tempted to compare the two to see if there is a way I could implement the changes, since the developer I originally hired couldn't be bothered.

@gorangrooves it’d be interesting to hear how the partnership with avid came about

[gorangrooves]

@RastaChess Sure. To distribute AAX plugins, you need to sign them and to do that; you need to register as a partner developer with Avid. They provide you with NFR licenses of all their PT and associated plugins and grant you free access to PACE signing tools.

In addition to that, they keep you posted on the current developments via their newsletter. Well, it pays dividends to open such newsletters and read them. They launched a program called Inner Circle more than a year ago, in which partner brands can donate products to their subscriber base in return for obtaining those customers. They promote the products as their own. As soon as I became aware of it, I contacted them right away. They checked our website, the promo video, and product pages and loved what they saw.

They were interested in including us in the program, and we patiently waited for a year to have our turn.
It works great for us, as we currently have 25 products and each product is independent.

@gorangrooves doesn’t get much cooler than that. Thank you for sharing.
