Customer review (by Luc):

 

Outstanding customer service

Tool is working exactly like it should. I had few problems because my shops are heavy modified but litextension customer service was always there. Script was custom modified for me and they helped me with few other things, always as soon as possible. In my case tool was not cheap because i have large number of orders/customers but first of all - there is no other (cheaper) tool. And whats most important, with such a perfect customer service its worth it. I will migrate from prestashop 1.4 to 1.6 few other stores soon and i already know that whole process will be easy.
