The support received from Andrii was worth the subscription alone! The app was suggested to create Product feeds and we were able to setup and configure feeds quickly with some complex requirements for 2 of the 3 feeds. I reached out to get some support and Andrii went above and beyond to assist me in understanding my requirements and work with me to configure the additional feeds. Great app and even better support.
