Works ok but will not work with any bundle created with Shopify's own bundle app, which is very odd and limiting.

Interesting but...unfortunetly, login to customer account doesn't work. After login, it redirects you to the Online Store and loose cart contain. I used it to sell a collection of products from our WordPress site and customize user experience. As I could not find any support, I hope my review will help fix that issue.

The Buy Button works great... But, there is one major draw back. If your site is selling a lot of products then it is customary to want a search or filter option. There doesn't seem to be a way do to that with this plugin which can be extremely annoying. If you have only a few product, this plugin is great. But, if not, the plugin will get real old real fast without one of those two major features.
