While this plugin works well, there’s a few shortcomings that I’ll discuss. Some of them are amazingly addressed by the fantastic support – in that department the CartFlows really excel – all of my questions/issues were addressed within 24 hours and were either solved or promised to be soon delivered in an update.
However, I feel that positioning it to be the alternative to ClickFunnels for a fraction of a price is not fair and hence the price tag is a bit high.
It provides with the ability to direct the user straight to the shopping cart upon product selection and there’s this concept of a funnel (which really is just having a button on a page that links to the next page). There’s a few nice features that help manipulate the layout of woocommerce pages – probably possible to achieve with a few other plugins, but here it’s all neatly packed together, so there’s definitely value in that. Does it worth $300? I feel like it’s a stretch – especially without all the cool features mentioned but not yet implemented (like AB testing).
As to ClickFunnels – it hosts your entire site, provides a webinar platform, a bunch of social engagement tools, emails, etc – yes they’re more expensive, but comparing it to CartFlows is like comparing a paper plane to a Boing 747. I mean yeah, both can fly…
Anyway, the plugin delivers on most of the stuff it promises and it’s compatibility with Elementor is very impressive and convenient, but here’s a few things that still need polishing:
1. Can’t have your site’s standard footer/header – currently the pages use only the plain canvas template and if you want to make your checkout look like it’s part of your website, you’ll need to work around that. Not a biggie, but a bit annoying.
2. The Coupon field will not be foldable. Support provided a custom php script that works great, but again, would prefer to have it integrated.
3. Some billing form fields can be hidden, but not all- achievable via custom CSS.
As you can see, those are little things and the plugin is actively being worked on, so I’m sure it will be addressed in the future. Again, I feel like the price is a bit steep for a product that’s basically in a beta stage right now.
