Exact functionality i needed i.e. native wordpress comments for woocommerce. But it got some errors (404 http error) due to missing files as can be seen on Chrome Developer Console for e.g. “/wp-content/plugins/discussions-tab-for-woocommerce-products/assets/dist/frontend/css/alg-dtwp.min.css?ver=1.1.0” Files due to which these errors are coming are infact not included in the plugin source code. Please fix this. Otherwise 5 stars for me. Edit: All issues solved now.
