WooCommerce Plugin Dev & QA for SaaS Company
"I was also impressed by the quality of their code and their ability to align with our time zone."
the reviewer
the review
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the engineering manager and product lead for TrackStreet. We’re a software company that focuses on crawling data for big brands. We help clients know who’s selling their products and at what prices.
What challenge were you trying to address with Codup.co?
We were building a referral tracking platform. Although we have software engineers, we don’t have team members who specialize in building plugins for WordPress or WooCommerce. As a result, we needed a contractor to help us create a plugin.
What was the scope of their involvement?
After writing detailed specifications for the plugin, we handed them to Codup. Their team then handled the project from start to finish. They developed a WooCommerce plugin that adhered to our guidelines. Their team also tested the product to ensure it worked. They built the plugin for our specific platform.
What is the team composition?
We worked with about four people including a project manager, a developer, and two QA people.
How did you come to work with Codup.co?
We posted the job on a freelancer's platform and received many applicants. During recruitment, we looked for engineers, a project manager, and a QA team. I also asked applicants to provide a cover letter and examples of past projects as well as complete a coding test. After reviewing 20–30 applications, I narrowed our options to 2–3 companies. CodUp had all of the necessary qualifications. From my interactions with their team, I had a good feeling about them.
How much have you invested with them?
We spent $5,000–$6,000 on this project.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started around May, and the first phase finished in August 2020. While the engagement’s paused, we anticipate re-engaging them.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
Their team delivered a fully-fledged plugin. As the engineering manager, I reviewed their work. The quality of the product was great. I’ve worked with a lot of contractors and agencies; Codup’s definitely one of the best in terms of their communication, the quality of their work, and their ability to follow specifications.
How did Codup.co perform from a project management standpoint?
We set up weekly check-in calls, and they were present on those. I was impressed by their responsiveness. We added them to Slack and anytime we messaged them, we received a response. Our time zones are quite different. Codup went out of their way to align with ours.
They assigned us a dedicated project manager, but I also worked as a project manager. We defined tickets within Jira on our end. Additionally, they had their own ticketing system. Our assigned project manager collaborated with their engineers using that system.
What did you find most impressive about them?
Codup was engaged and responsive. We were impressed by their level of communication. I was also impressed by the quality of their code and their ability to align with our time zone. The overall quality of the product for the price was great.
Are there any areas they could improve?
No, I’m happy with what they produced for the cost.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
With any outside agency, it’s good to have concrete specifications. By having detailed specifications, you both know what needs to be built.
the project
Payment Gateway Dev for Financial Research & Publishing Co.
“Overall, I found the communication to be quite good.”
the reviewer
the review
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the operations manager for Profit Prospects. We publish a bunch of financial newsletters, including Investment Whisperer and Oil and Gas Investments Bulletin. We specialize in providing paid research to a subscriber base, and we focus on the management of small- and mid-cap stocks.
What challenge were you trying to address with Codup.co?
Over the years, we’ve had several issues with our payment processor and have tried several different companies.
We originally used Bambora and ended up switching back to them in order to save the accounts for one of our publications. We had set up gateways with another vendor, but we nearly lost another account. When these things happen, our revenue stream just goes dead. We took one bullet, dodged another bullet, and went on. Once COVID-19 hit, payment processors were looking to get rid of several sectors so we needed to find a new partner.
Meanwhile, we’d used Bambora for a decade, and we had to build a new custom gateway to that, as an insurance policy in case the other ones yanked the rug out from under us. That’s how we got to this project.
What was the scope of their involvement?
Codup.co gave a time estimate of about a month to build it, and they delivered the product. It took us another 3–4 weeks of testing to actually make it work with live accounts.
What is the team composition?
I worked with their estimator/salesperson initially, and then with a project manager. I spoke to the developer once or twice. We had a couple of spec calls, followed by a lot of emails and chat conversations.
How did you come to work with Codup.co?
I made a web search and came across a platform for contractors.
The software we’re working on is in a fairly obscure niche. Bambora is actively maintained and updated, but it’s not very widespread or popular, so the chances of finding a software team that had prior experience working with these software products was slim to none. I put out an estimate, and Codup.co answered back saying they could do it.
How much have you invested with them?
We spent about $5,500.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started estimates in April 2020, and we wrapped up in June.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
It’s not fully implemented into production simply because the markets have been super busy and I’ve had other projects, but it’s been tested to the full functionality. I’m happy with it, and I have an insurance component now.
How did Codup.co perform from a project management standpoint?
They’re in Pakistan, so we always had a 24-hour cycle. There were a few brief hours during the day where we could talk to them in real-time. Overall, I found the communication to be quite good. I paid them out when the project was completed, but they remained responsive during the testing phase.
What did you find most impressive about them?
The highlight was actually getting the software to work.
Are there any areas they could improve?
The sandbox testing was mostly done through a clone of the WordPress site, but the live testing could’ve been done better before the handoff. I had to do a fair amount of testing myself, which was to be expected. The handoff might’ve been a bit rougher in the case of a client without a testing background.
Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?
Codup.co works well with people who are familiar with the software development industry. For Codup.co to take the next step, they’d have to adopt a synchronized approach, with a documentation expert and a tester to build cases and scale that to larger projects. This is advice I’d give to any development team; I’m not picking on Codup.co.

Fresh Sales Integration for Environmental Nonprofit

the reviewer
the review
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the operations manager at an environmental nonprofit. We connect with businesses, schools, and individuals for campaigns.
What challenge were you trying to address with Codup.io?
We were in the process of transferring our CRM to Fresh Sales and needed to build some customized features.
What was the scope of their involvement?
They developed a custom application integrated with our CRM that stored our Shopify data.
What is the team composition?
We initially started working with two people, and we eventually scaled up to five team members. This included a technical consultant, project manager, and CEO.
How did you come to work with Codup.io?
We attended a conference for Fresh Sales, and that’s where we met the CEO of Codup.io.
How much have you invested with them?
We invested between $10,000-$50,000 over the course of the engagement.

We began working with them in the fall of 2019, and we put the project on pause in January 2020.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
They did everything that we asked of them and delivered exactly what we wanted. We haven’t been using the add-on, but I can see that it could be of use to us in the future once we optimize it.
How did Codup.io perform from a project management standpoint?
Communication was good, though there were some hiccups because the team was working for us remotely. They were open to having calls with us every week because it was sometimes difficult to communicate over email. We also used Trello to track the project.
Are there any areas they could improve?
They delivered what they could within the confines of Fresh Sales and our budget. The reason we aren’t using the add-on is because of factors outside of their control.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
They were great in terms of being available for us and were easy to work with.

Backend Development for Membership Site
"They really follow through on everything they say they’re going to do."
the reviewer
the review
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I am the owner of an online membership site for models. It’s a modeling agency site where aspiring models can be seen by international agents and get signed to top agencies in the industry.
What challenge were you trying to address with Codup.io?
We needed them to develop the backend of our site. We were trying to include a variety of e-commerce features, and a lot of content management functionality as well, so it had to be very customized.
What was the scope of their involvement?
They helped us move to an entirely new Wordpress website. The site required a lot of backend work to automate notifying members about the reports and notifying us about submissions. There is a lot of communication going on in the backend and we needed to be able to make sure everything related to e-commerce and membership is functioning and talking to each other properly.
What is the team composition?
In the beginning, I only dealt with the leader of the team, so I’m not exactly sure how many people have worked on the project. There are at least two that I know of, but I believe more people were working behind the scenes.
How did you come to work with Codup.io?
We found them through a coding company search website. We entered our project and then people respond, and they were actually the only group that reached out to us that asked really good and detailed questions. At that point, we could tell that they really knew what they were doing.
How much have you invested with them?
We’ve invested a little over $10,000 so far.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started working together in January 2017 and are continuing to work with them on a variety of projects.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
The best piece of evidence we have is that our revenue went up as a direct result of the new site. We don’t really have statistics to compare to, in terms of engagement or click rates, but we’ve been very satisfied with how smoothly the site works and with how everything looks now.
How did Codup.io perform from a project management standpoint?
Codup.io is excellent at project management. We speak 99% through email, but when things became more complicated, I could just hop on a phone call and they would make themselves available. They always keep the project on track and have continued to make progress since launching the site as well.
What did you find most impressive about them?
They really follow through on everything they say they’re going to do. I think their skill level is incredibly high which, combined with their willingness to work on a difficult custom project, means you’re really going to get a great result in the end.
Are there any areas they could improve?
No, I’m going to continue to use Codup.io forever.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Just be sure that you make what you want to be done clear and then relax because they are going to get it done.

A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the president of a company that designs and develops websites and offers online marketing services.
What challenge were you trying to address with Codup.io?
We had been working with a team of developers on a difficult project, but they didn’t complete the work due to its complexity. Because of this, we needed to find a team on short notice to pick up where they left off on the website development project.

The majority of the work is focused on the front- and backend development, including WordPress installation, updates, and configuration.

More specifically, they’ve built sites for our clients that have secure document repositories, allowing end-users to see private documents. They’ve created membership systems, both directories and complex subscription systems. Another tool they’ve built is a complex contest submission systems that are integrated with backend databases. Their team has also done Salesforce integration on several sites.

At least nine team members from Codup.io work with us.
How did you come to work with Codup.io?
I found them online. We began working together on a specific project that a prior development team dropped the ball on. After they successfully completed that one for our client, we decided to start using them for larger, more complex tasks.
How much have you invested with them?
We have invested $80,000–$90,000 thus far. We have them on a monthly retainer.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started working with them in May 2018. Their work is ongoing.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
