Confetti

After testing the free version, I bought a premium licence pretty quickly. Confetti is perfect for giving customers an eye-catching confetti effect on the Thank you page. 

Great for Thank you pages!


I am the plugin owner of several comment plugins, one being Ajaxify Comments. I was very impressed with this plugin, so I decided to build an integration directly into Ajaxify Comments so that if both are installed, a confetti effect will display when someone leaves a comment.



This is a nice award (reward?) for leaving a comment.



And now that I've seen Confetti, I'm hooked. I want confetti everywhere now. Just wait.


This plugin adds a nice "award" effect when triggered

Confetti is a great plugin. It's super easy to use, and works perfectly!

Even though the free version is fine for a lot of use cases, I still opted to go for the premium version. Certainly worth it for the extra customisation options and integrations it offers, and the price is very reasonable.

Derek (the developer) is awesome too.

Great plugin, super easy to use.


Love using it, let us appear more personal! 


Great plugin! 🎉


This plugin is perfect for my needs - I show the confetti when a customer is redirected to my "thanks for purchasing" page.



Awesome plugin!
