I was using ZenCart before I tried Maian, and there really is no comparison. This is soooo slick, it really does everything and more than I could have hoped for, and with such simplicity.
It is complete, easy to use, and is designed for simplicity. It offers features we won't use but it is nice they are there for future needs. The walk through was simple and installation went perfectly. Thanks for a great system that just pretty much dropped in place with our sites needs fulfilled.
Maian Music software is most excellent. Thank you David! As a coder myself, I am totally impressed with the professional quality of the design of this software. I want to express my appreciation for your efforts for putting this Maian Music package out there as a free tool for aspiring digital media sellers.
It was very easy to install and no bugs l have seen so far and l personally love it, especially how support keeps in touch.
For the price l bought it for, it is worthy far much more than scripts that are sold for $250 or so.
So keep up the good work and developing it.
I just wanted to share a quick note and let you know that you guys do a really good job. I'm glad I decided to buy your software . It's really great how easy your websites are to update and manage. I never have any problems learning it at all.
My new site is so much faster and easier to work with.
Now it's almost like having a designer right here with me. I just choose the page, make the change and click save. It's so simple.
Thanks, guys!
We've been using the Cart for a few months now and as always the support team at Maian always answer our questions. I had to let people know about this because I thought it was awesome!
We had to refund a customer the other day (very rare for us) but refunded her through the PayPal account she paid with. I then went into the Cart Admin to cancel the order but couldn't find it!
I checked the Sales list and it has already been automatically set to "refunded" now how COOL is that! even our £25.00 a month cart didn't have that option! Its the simplest things that make all the difference.
Looking forward to the next release of the Cart!
I've worked with a multitude of bulk email programs over the past 6 years and they all have their pros and cons. There didn't seem to be one that could do it all for me and some are so convoluted I just never got started or I spent loads of hours setting them up only to find out I needed to buy something before I could send 1000's of emails.
Maian Responder is self-hosted, feature packed yet simple to use and once you have installed and setup the system (which is very easy) you can fire away emails without worrying about escalating costs or email limits. Obviously, managing your own reputation carefully is a prerequisite but any legitimate email sender will understand this and not expect software to compensate for reckless email spamming.
Used in conjunction with Amazon's SES as your SMTP you can happily send 2000 emails a day (for FREE) without worrying about a thing.
If you are sick of hunting for a decent self-hosted option, buy Maian Responder and start marketing instead of cobbling together bad solutions.
I have really respected the Maian Help Desk system after one of our IT staff researched and recommended it in 2015. We have been using it ever since, but recently needed to upgrade from 3.6. Now I have the feel for the 4.1 after setting it up on one help desk and it is a complete WOW.
It works beautifully. Thank you Sir for creating, maintaining, and updating this beautiful software.
After a few weeks of searching the web for a email auto responder provider I came across the Maian Responder. The website is very clean and professional in its appearance and was easy to get the information I was after.
The website offered a "Free" trail and stated that version 2 was due out in the next few weeks, so with nothing to loose I downloaded it.
I opened up the files and read the information on how to install it, well what can I say, the script is so easy to install it almost falls over itself trying to help you, it is so easy, within 10 minutes of downloading the files the responder was running on my wife's domain. After logging into the admin control panel and a few clicks I had my first email auto responder up an running, so easy and worked right out the box.
I did have one little issue so I emailed support, within 10 minutes, I had a response from the owner/developer who explained that I had not completed a task prior to the install, so it was nothing wrong with the software just me being eager !!
After several days version 2 of the software was released so I attempted the upgrade, this also was very easy to do. After upgrading the software and testing I decided to buy the software not only for my wife's domain. I can honestly say that the install was just as easy on my second domain and the licencing too was very straight forward. I cannot recommend this software highly enough.
Well done to the developer and I trust more software will be developed over the coming years.
I use Maian Music and Maian Affiliate, they work in conjunction with each other and I have found them really helpful for me. The support is second to none. The free trial is a super idea to test out if any of the Maian software is suitable for your use. I purchased commercial licences for my Maian software, low cost, good value and I highly recommend the products and the company.
