| Pros | Pop-ups and signup forms managed from the vendor dashboard; Simple site ID setting, no pop-up code to write; WooCommerce cart subtotal and coupon helpers | Official PayPal gateway with smart buttons on product and checkout pages; Pay Later, card fields and Apple Pay or Google Pay wallets; Subscriptions, saved payment methods and ShipStation order tracking |
| Cons | Front-end script from an external service on every page; Pop-ups and statistics depend on a BDOW account; Paid features are promoted through the dashboard | Available payment methods depend on PayPal account and country eligibility; Many modules are switched on in settings, so the setup has several steps |
