THIS COMPANY IS FRAUDULENT

This company that was once trustworthy and recommended around the world is now going through a phase of fraud, I bought a script, it came with a lot of errors and I did NOT receive support, when I asked for payment methods directly to the website, I was answered almost instantly, now when I purchased and I went to ask for support, they never responded again, for a measly 40 dollars they lost a customer who could always buy the themes, I didn't receive support or ask for a refund because I know there will be no returns...

the company DOESN'T respond and DOESN'T resolve anything, and I know that they will soon respond here as if nothing had happened in a false way saying ''contact us at Email but they won't... they won't respond and they will steal others people, a company that MANY and there were many who told me that it was completely safe, in the end... I bought a script that neither the developer nor the guys at Codester didn't support. It's unfortunate that the company REALLY became a SCAM, I made the deposit and can prove the purchase and everything else in detail.
They used me in bad faith.

I am sorry to hear you did request a refund and did not receive it. We are a marketplace and have to make a decision while protecting both buyer and seller.

In the case of of a product that has defects, we can easily make a refund happen. In the case you don't like the product or the purchase was accidental we can't force the seller to refund your purchase after you have downloaded it. This is because there is no way to return the product.

As for the number of frauds a day and refunds, this is false information. Also Stripe is one of our main payment providers and it is used for all creditcard transactions on Codester.

This is a good software purchase site.

All the software I bought here worked and I am satisfied with them. In other software marketplaces, it often happens that defective products are sold.
I bought php scripts and they work well.
I can only recommend Codester.

Codester.com is now scammer

Codester.com is now scammer. They didnot withdraw my 100$ seller account and just terminated without any information. Nobody should upload their content in codester. They will take your all hard earned money.

We don't close accounts without informing the seller and without a serious reason as this is the last thing we want to do. Please contact us through our help center if you have any questions about your account.

They will not pay author after sales

Zero response for author who upload product. I was selling item since 1 year. Neither i got my payment, Nor anything else. When i demanded payment, they just suspend my account saying suspicious activity. I just want to say, if you are uploading and selling product in codester, Codecanyon is best for this. No responsibility for author. Totally waste of time

Sorry to hear about the bad experience.

I can assure you we don't close an account and don't pay earnings because of just "suspicious" activity. We only close author accounts when we have identified something serious. For example copyright theft. If you have any questions about your account , you can contact us through our support center.

---

It has been concluded that you have been illegally selling scripts which you did not create yourself or had the right to sell. This is illegal activity and we don't allow this on our marketplace.

Copyright theft is a huge problem for developers and we don't tolerate such behavior on our marketplace.

This was my first interaction with Codester, I wasn't sure what to expect at first but so far the two items I've gotten so far, the authors have been really fast at addressing any concerns I've had and if others are like that I will be happy to shop here more often.

Great Quality Assets

I purchased some game templates recently from Codester. The quality of the both templates were very good and usable. It was the first time I have bought anything of the sort and had to go by the guarantee of Codester's team having quality checked this. I was not disappointed. Will buy again.

I am sorry to hear about the bad experience. Unfortunately we did not receive any refund request from you within 60 days after purchase. We are a marketplace with both a buyer and seller side. Where we have to release payments to our authors within an acceptable timeframe.

It may be painful, but unfortunately we can't process refund requests after nearly a year after purchase.

Please make sure to always try to get the product working within 60 days after purchase and if there are problems you can contact the author and if that does not help we are there to help you out.

I bought so many items already and keep finding great plugins to use in my websites. Even if I am a developer of 15years - it save me a lot of time. I recommend using Codester to find templates, php code, js code, graphics and even full game in Unity and Contruct3.

Really bad experience

I found a template for WHMCS, bought it, but the package version was old and not updated by several years! Tried to contact the seller in order to get an update, but no response was given, it just close the case without any answer about. Then I tried to contact the Codester team by using "refund request" function, and they declined my request and it has decided to close it in favor of the seller, and also in that case, with no response or any explanation about their decision.
As customer/buyer, you count less than zero, and moreover, the package prices are not so cheap.
Now I get an unuseful old package and i put on fire my money.
I had to buy the original one, spending more than necessary.
Very very bad experience for me.
I will never buy again here!

Best Marketplace Website Ever

I'm a seller on this website and I got in total 5 sales very fast. My item was accepted the next day.
The payment is very fast. The first of the month I get paid.
The support is very fast too (Frederick).
I suggest to use this website, there is no ID Check like CodeCanyon and there are people that buys software.

Affordable and user friendly

We have been using Codester in our coding program for about 2 months and we love it! We added coding to our studio programming and tried creating our own curriculum, but it resulted in teachers providing very different classes. It also made subbing for a class really difficult. We also tried another very popular software program, that our kids loved. The teachers craved more flexibility, but pricing wise I needed to keep looking. Codester has been that happy medium.
Pros:
The more experienced coding teachers like the flexibility of being able to have students code independent of the preset tools.

The less experienced teachers can learn quickly and sub when needed.

The price is reasonable and the material is consistent no matter who is teaching so this keeps my administrative heart very happy.

There is enough preset material so that anyone who is unfamiliar with Python can learn quickly. The lessons are laid out so that you can show your students what to do and they can also work independently.

Our parents love that their kids are really learning to code instead of just playing with block coding.

Codester has really driven home the importance of following instructions. Most of the problems our students ran into with their code was due to not following the instructions. It's a good life lesson.

There are also written lesson plans and extension activities that will allow you to expand if you need to.

The staff are super helpful and there are a number of Professional Development sessions that will help even a teacher with zero experience get going.

Cons- None so far.

I think it's important that teachers remember that they are still responsible for teaching. Like any software that gamifies learning kids may tend to forget a lot of the terminology and the purpose of their actions. Codester makes it easier for a great teacher to deliver a great class. You don't have to be great at coding, but familiarizing yourself with the activities will ensure teacher and student success.
