This add-on is great. The company even did custom development for me to work with common products. They were responsive and clear about the work they were going to perform.
We did have a little mixup in emails but the company handled it well and went out of there way to make up for the mixup. Quick and extremely accommodating. Definitely, recommend using Cart Power.
