I was able to set up 300+ files for download with payment thru Paypal in one day - and I'm no pro.
Great support, very nice component. A great value.
1. Relatively easy to set up.
2. Numerous ways to customize your subscription plans, including ability to assign various user levels to subscribers, trial periods (or not), ability to use your WYSIWYG text editor to write the subscription description.
3. Works well once set up.
Disadvantages:
1. The PayPal IPN url generated by the component was incorrect. The developer was happy to help fix it.
2. The documentation for the component is very minimal. The developer became less and less responsive and I continued to ask questions. I still don't know how to use a couple features.
3. There are 2 emails generated to the subscriber - a welcome email and a cancellation email. There is no "your subscription is about to expire" email. There's no way to customize these emails, and the ones automatically generated have punctuation errors. If you're comfortable modifying the HTML code yourself, you could customize them.
3. There is no way to offer coupons or discounts using coupon codes.
4. Paying for this component does not include updates. The developer offers a subscription for updates for $100/3 months.
We've updated our documentation.
Email customization will be available in our next release.
The only feature I don't see is the ability to have more than one category of FAQ without having another menu item. I only want to have 1 FAQ menu item, so I think I can only have one category, with no way to divide the FAQ into subjects. It would be cool if a future version was based on a Section rather than a Category list.
Thanks - good work on this!
