There are a few specific things I require/d from an e-commerce type plugin for a project (Yoga Studio) I am busy with. After a lot of help and prompt response from Jigoshop, someone there told me last Tuesday, 13 Nov I should rather go with you guys.
I did first raise the question, just to double check, if Eventespresso plugin tick all the boxes. The next day someone did get back to me, which made it sound like it should be fine.

I purchased a business licence and found that I have a few issues with customising the template to what it needs to be.
How to make featured image work?

I’ve posted some questions. Being under pressure already from my client I also signed up for VIP, hoping that I will get a quicker response.

All in all what I needed was – on the event list page – the following:
Title
Featured image thumbnail.
Description would be good – excerpt from post
Price to show a must.
Dates would be good

A week later, Tuesday 20 Nov, I had an event list page working to some extend, but could not get the thumbnails to show. Even though in the post the support said it worked on his side. I took my code, which was already a couple of bits I had to throw together (perhaps the reason it didnt work…) and tested it in a ‘clean’ TwentyEleven theme as suggested and it still wasnt working. Trying myself to display prices in the event recurring posts messed up all the prices on the even list page.

After a week of stressing and waiting on support, last Tuesday morning I started researching in another plugin. Found one and tested it to make sure it ticks all the boxes. It took me the whole day, but only 1 day to set it up, style and customise the new plugin and add the content.
You can actually view the example here: http://www.testingwebsite.me/event-registration/

Which means, after a week of purchasing your plugin I uninstalled it and won’t be using it. You can un-activate the serial code as you read this, for I am not using it. Ironically your plugin that is almost 4X more expensive has had appalling support and not as easy for me to customise as Events Planner I decided to go with.
For that reason I would like to have a refund for purchasing the business plan and VIP. And for both those subscriptions to be cancelled.
To be honest I really did not get anything out of it except for scratching my head, stress and a few sleepless nights. I have sent 2 messages a week ago and still have not hear anything – I guess out of experience no surprise there…
