Before buying an application from the marketplace, it is imperative to know some critical points about the application. Ksolves Odoo App Store is one of the marketplaces where multiple vendors are selling Odoo apps.

Check these boxes before buying an Odoo App
Support is technically an effort to put forward an attempt to fix defects, doubts, queries, or any issues related to the app module. With online support, one gets 24×7 help from messaging apps such as Skype/Hangout for all the issues. If proper after-sales support is not available, then half of the value of the product is lost. So, look for an app from a company that offers appropriate after-sales support, technical assistance, and customer service. Generally, the companies offer support for free for 30 to 90 days from the date of purchase which is an inviting deal.
Odoo is updated every year; it is prominent to check which version the app is supporting. Every company that is selling the Odoo Apps mentions which version the customer can download. Earlier, the customer who bought the Version 12 app was entitled to use the lower version with it. But with the latest notification from Odoo, now version 13 apps need to be bought separately, and no lower version is available with them.
The app release information contains bug fixes, updated features, and enhancements. It also exhibits the company is prompt and responsible in handling the bugs and issues reported by its existing customers.
