WooThemes has some decent products. WooCommerce is one of the best carts to use but shit like this has made me decide to look for other options:

That is just for the renewal and they want that for almost each plugin, every year. I found a Stripe plugin on CodeCanyon for $29

Code:

Click to expand...

That is correct. They get you in the door with the "free" cart but any real functionality will cost you an arm and a leg.

Yup those renewals blow. Client of mine renews like 4 or 5 plugins a year.

Had no idea they did this...thanks for the info. It is a bit like all the add-on crap that GoDaddy tries to upsell after buying a domain name.

I got sick and tired too of WooThemes Paid extensions. They provide a free eCommerce software - fine - but's it's missing completely basic features such a changing the default order status or having a simple wishlist.

I stumbled upon this website which keep the plugins up to date - from WooThemes plugins to Premium Themes and other premium plugins.

I cannot post the URL cause I'm new but google " gpldl "

There's other sites doing this but this one is free and pretty good IMHO.

Hope you enjoy!
