Brief note reiterating what the rating system is here at WP Plugins A to Z. I have used the Dragon Rating system since about episode 20 or so after it was suggested by one of my listeners, due to my over-usage at the time of a dragon song. It goes from 1 to 5 and getting a 5 out of me is usually pretty hard. 3 is pretty common and means a good plugin, 4 is great, 5 is outstanding. 1 and 2, well, they happen and when it does it's probably best to avoid that plugin.

With that lets dive right into the meat and potatoes.

I have a great set of plugins for you today!

What they say about it:

How can you really learn about your customers so you can create the perfect content for them?

For more and more brands, social login is the answer. Social login can help you understand your ideal customers in full color.

The AE Connect WordPress plugin helps marketers get a robust social login set up on their WordPress websites quickly and easily. Our dashboard allows users to view what their customers are liking, sharing, interacting with and listening to… in real time.

When your customers log onto your website using social login, they give you permission to see some of their activity, so that you can provide them with better offers and tailored content. We like to think of this as a digital handshake between the customer and the brand. That’s what we do at Appreciation Engine (www.

Today's interview is with Sean Conklin from CodedCommerce.

We previously reviewed some plugins Sean has worked on. For example: Benchmark Email Lite, all the way back in Episode 73!

If you're a plugin developer and you'd like to appear on the show, you can schedule an interview, donate your plugin for an upcoming contest, or submit your plugin for review.

For the last 2.5 yrs he's been focusing on sites powered with WooCommerce. What makes WooCommerce great is it lets you customize, manage costs, and choose vendors much easier.

There's also a ton of plugins if the basic settings/options aren't enough. These range from WooCommerce official extensions that WooCommerce.com “sells” (A subscription that entitles you to 1 year of updates and support from the date of purchase) to Premium 3rd party plugins, and then there's usually freemium ones on WP.org

Usually Sean helps with upgrading, infrastructure, and back-end.

In this interview he also discusses CRM and some wisdom about WooCommerce.

He writes code snippets to edit things that are company-specific or not working quite right. He uses the Code Snippets plugin, which is officially recommended by WooComerce!

Contact Sean at his website, CodedCommerce.com!
