Working perfectly, my customers are happy as they instantly get the serials. Also, they have an excellent support team, and their response is instant.” — @sachirakalhara

Great product, great support
“I have been using this plugin for several years now and it has always served me well. I found a small issue in the display of serial numbers awhile ago and the support team responded to my ticket very quickly and the issue was fixed in the next update. I recently renewed my yearly license, just before they introduced their Black Friday sale prices. They refunded that purchase in full no questions asked and I re-purchased at the new discounted rate.” — @allarmsllc

I have been using Serial Numbers on my 3 web shops for a couple of years now. The Pro version makes creating and importing SNs really easy -- we needed a way to enter manual SNs that we generated in a separate application, and this plugin is great for that. Whenever I need support, the response has been quick and effective -- both in online chat and email support.
