Super easy to install and setup. It’s integrates well into the Checkout page and also within the Admin > Order view. A must for all eCommerce stores.

This plugin may cause catastrophic failure of your website, especially where images and templates are concerned. Contacting the company themselves has revealed they are fully aware of significant incompatibility issues with WordPress, other established main stream plugins and several common and widely used Themes. It has been recommended to the company and to WordPress that this plugin be withdrawn immediately until the developer has corrected these issues.
