User Reviews and General Quality
As we always do, we also performed a much wider sweep of the internet looking for complaints about the maker of the plugin, MakeWebBetter. Everything looks clean here, too.
However, we are not recommending this plugin just because of good ratings and an absence of complaints. Because we have been making WordPress/WooCommerce import/export plugins for more than a decade, it took us a few years to get comfortable with MakeWebBetter's products. As we kept checking back on them, we saw the hallmark of most good WordPress plugin builders: continuous improvement. Second, whether you check their WordPress.org/plugins pages, Envato Market, their YouTube channel, or elsewhere, their support staff take the time to answer all public comments and inquiries.
These are the behaviors of a company determined to provide good value to its customers.
