The Joomla! Extensions Directory ™

If you want to build a website like groupon.com base on joomla,ok buy this,and buy the lifetime subscription,no need reason,after you paid you will know what i said is truth！
I am repentant of brought the 30days subscription , i should buy the lifetime plan!

I´ve been using this extension for almos a month now. I am not a programmer and was able to set the entire site by myself.
Everytime I needed help I got a great support, fast and efective, they even made a plugin to use a payment gateway for me.
I am very happy with it,
thanks!!

I have been a Joomla user now for five years and never have i seen such awesome support.

The component does exactly what it needs to and it is simple to use and support is fast and reliable.

Great Job.

I have been looking for some great solution to run my daily deal site.
I have been asking to see demo of many expensive and not so user friendly solutions, with limited support!

After i saw this component for joomla, and tried demo i have stopped to look any further!

Component it self have so much to offer! It is 100% perfect, but it is 99%!

And what to say for Support!?
I think that they never sleep!
For each my request i got reply within short period of time!

If you wish to have this kind of business running - i would suggest to purchase this component - as you will not regret!

I have bought this component 6 months ago and recently i wanted to add a new payment method that does not supported in my old version. The developer did it free of charge (even though i asked him about). The response time is few minutes !!!!.
Moreover the component does what it suppose to do -- DEALS MANAGEMENT.

I was very happy with the component I was using to affect a Groupon-like sale when my site was on Joomla! 1.5. But when it became necessary to move up to 2.5, that component wasn't compatible. So I started looking, reluctantly, for something else. Now having used CMGroupbuying a couple of times, I can't believe I was ever satisfied with my previous setup. The functionality is impressive and flexible, the presentation is professional and spiffy, and the supprt, when needed, is incredibly prompt, helpful and extensive. I'm very pleased, and I'm also pleased to recommend it.

To be clear it is very difficult for anyone to come up with an app or extension for coupons/deals that will satisfy everybody's needs.

And sure enough this extension did not meet all of my needs when I first tried it, but I was blown away with how responsive the support is and how quickly they have incorporated my requests into new features in subsequent releases.

So while it still doesn't meet 100% of what I want, it meets much more than it did just 3 short months ago, and I'm confident they will close the gap for me in subsequent releases (which are happening very quickly).

I've given this an excellent rating because they are constantly improving this extension so that users are able to customise it more to their specific needs.

And their support is quick and very helpful. I have tried a couple other extensions and this is the one I'm betting on.

I'm working with Joomla has been 3 years so far, and it's the first Joomla Extension that I bought, and I'm so excited about it that I registered here just to post this review!
So far this extension is working as predicted, it's very easy to use, the template that come with it really helps a lot because I've to change just little things like logo and color, and the system itself is very clear to undarstand and use.
I didn't used the support yet, so I can't say anything about that..
Anyway, thanks a lot!!

That is what every website developer wants: fast and great support. CMGroupbuying is a group buying extension well written and continously developed by its creators who are open to all their customers suggestions. This is absolutely the best extension of this type.

Complete extension for deal web site. It has all the functionality nedeed.
Finaly the support is fast and accurate.
I am newbie of Joomla! but in a few days my web site is ready!

Only a word Reccomedend!

I am far from a developer and just started using Joomla not to long ago. Hung and his group have nailed it not only on an amazing product that is very easy to use but on the support. And trust me I am sure that I have asked more questions than most. They really are by far the best product and support I have found on the web hands down.

First off, I have tried the two other group deals components currently available for Joomla and they don't even begin to compare to CMGroupBuying. They cost more (one of them costs MUCH more) and they do far less. Additionally, the other two components are full of bugs that the developers either refuse to or do not have the skills to rectify.

With that said, I give CMGroupBuying 5 stars, 2 thumbs up, 5 mics, whatever the highest ranking available on your scale of choice. It is quite feature rich and the developer releases a new version (with new features and fixes for any issues reported by license holders) every month.

Yes, paying for a new license every month can get a bit expensive but if you only need/want the features of the current version then you'll never need an upgrade/update. Of course, you can also pay for a license to a longer license (or even a lifetime license).

As for bugs, I only have found one. I had an issue with CMGroupBuying and Jomsocial but the developer responded to my support ticket within an hour, pointing me to the forums where the fix had already been posted.

I also happened to run into two other issues but both were a result of issues on my end. Still, the developer explained the cause of the issues and provided the solution to each.

I recommend this extension 110% to anyone wishing to run a group deals site. Keep in mind this won't give you a "groupon clone" but for the most part, you should be happy with your purchase.

Hi!

I have been following these developers since beginning. Their support is excellent. You just contact them and they help you without asking to know you have a active subscription or not. Email, forum, ticket support, everything is fast, they often reply my email in just 15 minutes. Just visit their forum, you will see what I mean here.

CMGroupBuying, I am very happy with it. Easy to use, useful features and the most thing I love is it has a new version every month, new features are from users's requests. The developers never ask us for customization project. Just ask them new features, they will develop them in new releases for FREE!

I agree with most people here. These kinds of developers are really rare.

This is my first review on this website, and I do it as a thank to developers. Thank you for a great service! You make me love Joomla and its community!

Regards,
Dang

I tried CM GroupBuying demo earlier and found a lot of mistakes in the system. There were dead links and on some deals, the buy button didn’t work at all. I only spend a short time testing it and found quite a few issues with this component.
Bottom line is this system has a lot of logic work flow problems and I don’t think its ready for commercial use yet.

A few weeks ago I started searching around for ways to start my own deals website. There were many options on the market but one really caught my eye because of its low price and seemingly professional design. And the fact that it was a joomla! component was a plus as I had past experience working on the Joomla components.
I was really excited to get started so I hastily bought the CMgroup buying product thinking it was everything I needed to start my site.
Once I started to use the software, I suddenly realize why the price of the product was so cheap. *Sigh* the template was really poorly design, and the code was structured in a way that made it extremely hard to edit and customize the template. I emailed them for support but never really got a response for several days. And when they did finally respond to me, they didn’t even know what I was talking about. It was like I was speaking English to them and they were replying to me in Chinese. I was really frustrated and unhappy with their support. I guess the principle of the story is you get what you pay for or as we call in our business world “trade offs”. I want the world to know about my experiences with this product in hopes that they will change their product and their way of doing business.
In conclusion I can sum up this review and CMGroup buying experience in 2 words 'Rip Off'. Literally, I felt like someone actually stole my money.

I have used CMExtension for a while and with this great component together with the Dealsaggregator I have now developed 3 "Deal"-sites in about 1 month. This thanks to the support and developers. The support normaly replyes within 30 minutes.

recommended to use this component, very nice, UI, features, support, etc,...

CMGroupbuying it's excellent component and support very fast. RECOMMENDED !!!!

I have been working with joomla for a few years now and besides for this being a very Good and powerful extension that is very easy to setup and use, the developers' support is fantastic, very quick to respond and eager to help. I will be using this extension for a very long time. Great Work Guys!!!

Those guys are awsome!! Great support and accept suggestions to develop another gateway payments (to suit to your country) and other things, all included in support fee. I am really amazed with them. You should try this tool and also the other extensions they have. :)
