Introducing Real Testimonials, a WordPress plugin by ShapedPlugin LLC designed to showcase testimonials, customer reviews, or quotes in multiple ways on any post, page, custom template, widget, etc. This plugin comes with an easy-to-use Shortcode Generator settings panel with a live preview that helps you build an awesome and unique testimonials showcase with responsive layouts and customizable styles on your website.
Testimonials are crucial to your potential customers. It’s important that you showcase them effectively on your website and that you are regularly collecting fresh testimonials. Real Testimonials helps you do both.
Why do you need testimonials on your website? They strengthen your brand and reliability with new customers, help potential customers get to know that you are a faithful business, give you the scope to point out specific features or compelling reasons why a customer should buy from you. When used effectively, testimonials are a great tool to increase conversion rates on your website!
The plugin supports both simple and variable subscription products and allows you to assign discounts in two ways: fixed prices and percentage discounts. You can also specify personal discounts for various users using role-based discounts.
One of the standout features of this plugin is its ability to display discount tables on product pages. This helps explain your discount policy to customers and outlines the benefits they can enjoy. You can customize text explainers and discount table headings as per your needs.
The plugin also allows you to apply discount rules for existing subscriptions and even use negative values for discounts to increase the cost of subscription renewals. The user account, cart, checkout, and service emails show current discounts and potential discount upgrades.
In addition, the plugin makes adjustments to the wp-admin area to help you track down and forecast subscription discounts. This makes it easier for you to manage your subscriptions and ensure that your customers are getting the best possible deal.
