This integration is/has been a critical aspect of our business especially during the extended lockdown and closure of our physical retail space; it was a key factor for our e-commerce site to launch. Inventory & customer sync is very reliable and efficient, it has saved the team valuable time. All centralised/managed through Vend. The fantastic and timely service from Binod has surpassed my expectations, any issues were always fixed, questions answered - always a pleasure to deal with. The developers treated all matters urgently and made it their priority to help. Very grateful for this integration and the team behind it.

This plugin is absolutely fantastic! we would be completely lost without it. Our site has over 2,000 products that we sell in a retail environment, as well as online. If a sale is made in-store, the site's QTY's are updated. If a new product is made in-store, it goes straight on our website. If a product is deleted in store, it gets deleted from our site. You get the picture. Without this plugin, we would have had to manage all the stock for the site separately from the stock for the store. We would have had to use up to 5 premium plugins to manage the stock from the site, as well as having a plugin custom made to handle stock forecasting. We would have had to employ an extra staff member to manage the logistics for the site, and we would have constantly had to cross-reference pricing and stock from the retail division. This plugin removed EVERY ONE OF THESE REQUIREMENTS!!!!! One final thing to note is that Sujith and her team of developers have gone above and beyond to offer the most comprehensive support I have ever received from a plugin developer. We required some modifications to be made to the plugin and the team was absolutely fantastic to communicate with and delivered results in a timely manner time and time again. I can not praise this plugin and it's developers enough. If you need to integrate your Vend products on Wordpress, this is the only plugin I will ever use.

The integration from Vend to Woocommerce has been great through using this plugin, it has allowed our store to grow by allowing us to have a website with in sync data. The support from Sujith has also been great any issues we’ve had have been fixed within a day. Overall I am incredibly pleased with this solution after trying so many others, this is the only one that allows true flexibility.
