Where it ranks in wp.org search

Main keywords, best position first

Tags still to break into the top 24: alipay, cad, unionpay.

What to fix first

  1. 1

    Ship a compatibility release to reset the freshness signal.

    No update in 46 months. wp.org search heavily penalizes stale plugins, and users look for a recent release.

  2. 2

    Set "Tested up to" to WordPress 7.1

    Tested up to WordPress 6.1.16; the current branch is 7.1. Matching the current branch keeps its full search weight.

  3. 3

    “alipay”, “cad” and “unionpay” aren't earning a slot

    You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

  4. 4

    Ask happy users for a review

    A short in-plugin prompt after a success moment is the usual way. Reviews give the listing a rating people trust at install time.
