Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

The one review here is enthusiastic, praising direct crypto payments to a self-custody wallet and an install that follows the usual WordPress and WooCommerce setup.

   I added 8Pay as a solution to all of my sites and a few of my customers as an alternative way of payment. Now I can finally have sales directly in crypto and the beauty of all, it goes directly to my metamask wallet, no bank, no organization or payment processor. To install it all I had to do is add it as you add any other module on wordpress, woocommerce and configure it following the guide on their website. Since some of my clients have also subscriptions it was difficult for them to find a payment gateway to allow subscriptions, and when you do use one it is always a lengthy process to get vetted.
