3. Does this plugin work with your group buy and lottery plugins? - Yes.
4. Does this plugin work with variable products? - Yes, for all variations.
5. Can I make theme with WooCommerce Add to Cart button manipulation plugin and sell it on ThemeForest? Sure, just purchase extended licence and you're good to go.
6. 3rd party plugin is causing problems? Its developers tell you that we need to fix our plugin? Woocommerce extensions should be transparent - meaning one extension should work with another without introduction of special code that makes them compatible. Imagine what would happen and how much time we would need to spend if we would have to add a bit of compatibility code for every Woocommerce extension that's out there - we would end up in huge plugin with tons of problems which would be problem to test and debug. That's why we think every plugin developer should stick to Woocommerce coding standards and APIs (they're there for that reason) and not require 3rd party developers to code something into their extensions / plugins so that it could work with theirs.
7. Does this plugin work with caching plugins? - Yes, WP Super Cache and W3TC work fine with our plugin but we advise no caching for logged in users. You can use CDN and browser caching. Our plugin demo website uses WP Super Cache with page and browser cache. All of our plugins have same requirements for caching as WooCommerce - check it here https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/configuring-caching-plugins/
8. How can I update plugin with new version? Is auto updating possible? - We suggest you to install Envato Marketplace (installation instructions can be found on plugin's url) plugin for auto update plugin and themes purchased on Envato. Setup is easy. Manual updating can be done by downloading new version of plugin and overwrite old files with new ones or deleting old plugin and installing new one.
   
   
   Note:

   If you have modified plugin files (templates) then you need to be careful when updating so you don't overwrite changes you made and that templates are inside child theme or theme woocommerce/ template folder.
