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 chose Maian Support for its clean and responsive UI. It was a snap to install and the personal support is excellent.
I would like to say that I tried and tested many, many shopping cart scripts before trying yours and found most over priced and loaded with items that would only suit a major store, where as your cart does most of the things the others do, without the clutter and in some cases your cart does a lot more.
What I really like about it is it clean to the point and does exactly what I require.
Great script.... thank you!
Over the past year-and-a-half I've been actively looking for a free or reasonably priced self-hosted autoresponder solution. I came across many... from free to paid, from Wordpress plugins to self-installed scripts. They were either too expensive for my tastes, quite buggy or flat out did not perform in a reliable manner. Eventually, I somehow stumbled across Maian Responder.
This self-hosted autoresponder installs in a straight forward manner and has an easy to use front-end interface. Functionally simple without too many bells and whistles and it works fantastic. In addition, David's support is second to none.
We've looked at using the big brand providers of email processing before but you notice their free offerings don't include the features you want and the paid options are too expensive for companies dipping their toes into the water of marketing in this way.
We wanted the ability to auto schedule an email to go out a week or so after the initial sign up and the Maian Responder does it for us. Its configurable enough for us to set it up to use a verified, DKIM enabled, SPF enabled, google SMTP service so we have the best hopes of getting the mail to it's intended recipient and our potential customers aren't confused about who is sending it, because it's coming from us, not a third party domain sending on behalf of us.
The free service enabled us to confirm it would work for us but we then had no hesitation in paying the low cost to help Maian develop the software further.
Its the fact that it is super easy to learn, it executes superfast, and it works off your phone. I could sing its praises all day, but instead, I'd urge anyone looking into email marketing to give this a try.
I have been using phpcart up till a while ago, because it is no longer being supported. I can tell you your cart software beats the hell out of theirs.
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.
Just downloaded the free support ticket program and have immediately bought the paid version. This program is simple to install and fantastic to use. Just wanted to say thankyou to you. I had previously tried a few other programs which I ended up throwing away as being too complicated or a drastic overkill.
Yours is so simple and does everything needed to run my business online.
