I was having an issue with the EAN numbers not showing correctly on some of the products on my site and was stuck. I posted in the support forum and was instructed on how to fix the issue and it worked. This is the fastest I’ve ever received help+how to fix on this forum. The plugin is perfect and works great and the support is great.

This a super plugin for adding EAN’s to both single and variable products. We had a really odd issue with the EAN codes being overwritten by the inventory software the client used, but @algoritmika was spot on with how we could fix this. Would highly recommend 😊
