Rating and reviews
Kaktus has 4.7/5 from 394 reviews. Merchants appreciate customization and setup assistance. Critical feedback focuses on billing based on all store orders, which the developer confirms, and historical storefront issues. Older reliability complaints do not establish a current outage. Shopify reviews.
Pitfalls
The billing measure is total store orders, not just pre-orders. A busy shop running one small pre-sale can therefore pay much more than the entry price. Test theme buttons, partial-payment checkout and notification delivery during the trial. Documentation.
Conclusion
Kaktus is worth considering for a small store that values flexible widgets. Its store-wide billing makes it less attractive when pre-orders represent only a small share of a busy shop's sales.
