18 reviews for ektagon Woocommerce to Intercom (eWI) plugin

  1. Jonas S. (verified owner)

    Plugin works as advertised. Staff is very friendly and helpful throughout purchase, installation and troubleshooting. App is being working on on a daily basis for improvements and updates. Good stuff!

  2. Wesley Nappi (verified owner)

    Great customer support, I’m not a programmer and seem to have problems whenever I’m working with Intercom. Just as expected I had trouble but the customer support stayed with me the whole time and helped me get the app working perfectly. The experience was much much better than I’m used to it was what you wish you had every time you purchased a product.
    Thank You EKTAGON!

  3. Murtuza Kazmi (verified owner)

    Amazing, friendly and very knowledgeable support. Guided me through the install and troubleshoot and made sure I was up and running. And oh yeah, plug in is good too! 🙂

  4. FUNCiFUR (verified owner)

    A plugin that “just works” from the start and with brilliant and fast support via chat (after logging in) whenever necessary. We tried many other options including using Zapier, but when we realised that you can also transfer behavioural data (such as web sessions, page name visits etc) the decision was easy! Nothing less than a five star review!

  5. Daan Dagevos (verified owner)

    Amazing tool and support was super! Hector, you helped me with everything, super thanks for that!

  6. Mohamed

    Such great functionalities and new powers to link our customer orders data with our support tool thanks to ektagon solution

  7. Neil Woodfine (verified owner)

    Fantastic plugin, ridiculously easy to setup, couldn’t find anything that came close in terms of enabling me to segment Woocommerce customers and automate communications. Most importantly the service has been continually top notch over the year. Take my money!

  8. john (verified owner)

    Great Support, and works as expected. Thank you!

  9. Jared Arambel (verified owner)

    Nice plugin. Works pretty well. The best support.

  12. d.versluis (verified owner)

    Honestly amazing plugin, offers so much customization you would need when working with WooCommerce and Intercom. Support was instantly there when I had questions and just all around great!

  13. timur (verified owner)

    Great plugin and excellent customer support service

  14. phj

    5Stars!

    The best plugin if you try to connect intercom and woocommerce everything will just work out of the box!

    Also, the fast and reliable support makes it a must buy if you’re using intercom en WC

  15. dave (verified owner)

    The Woocommerce to Intercom plugin will easily pay for itself in the first week of use and my small staff loves the integrations. Frankly, I wish Woo Commerce’s plugins worked as well as this plugin does.

    The only thing better than the plugin is the support Hector offers. I can’t speak highly enough about his work ethic, ability to do what he says he will do, and the professional manner in which he does it. I wish all of my technical partners were this good.

  16. Roberto Chiera (verified owner)

    I love this plugin and I love ektagon for 2 simple reasons:

    1 – the support is Awesome and Hector take really care of his customer!

    2 – This plugin save me wasting tons of time and the development is continuous!!

    Thank youuuu

  17. Brett Henrichsen

    Simply THE plugin for WordPress and Intercom. When I first started using Intercom, I was shocked that their own plugin was so basic and lacking in any kind of real functionality. So I googled “intercom plugin” and found ektagon.

    WOW. Simply, this should be the official plugin, it’s so good. Everything is thought of, and if you need anything or have questions, response time is immediate! They even have the option to sign up for your very own customizations.

    You couldn’t ask for a better plugin, this makes Intercom and WordPress/Woocommerce SEAMLESS and is worth every penny!

  18. Anton (verified owner)

    The plugin does exactly what we need. Also the service and response of the developers is really quick. Thanks!
