$order = wc_get_order($order_id);

Hi,
Sorry to hear that you are having issues with the plugin. Maybe I could log in to your site’s admin to check what’s going on? If that’s possible – my private email is [email protected].

The plugin is causing slowness and error connection on my webstore on the server. Any chances of fixing or knowing why. Thanks.

Hi,
Maybe you can create/share an admin account to your server (WP and preferably FTP), so I could login and check what’s going on. If that’s possible – my private email is [email protected].

where is a sample view! won’t buy unless I can see what it looks like
Tom Anbinder –
I’ve just updated the plugin description and added frontend view screenshot there. Also – probably best way to see how it looks on frontend is to try the free version.
Hope that helps.
