Biggest opportunity: “credit card”, “payment” and “stripe” 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.

How it's measured →0.8%
of downloads still active
At least 30 of 3.6K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Payments plugin keeps 1.0%, across 1,043 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Payments plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 8 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

Directory rank
Ranked about #23,100 to #25,000, alongside the other plugins at 30+ installs. Plugins with the same install count swap places between wp.org requests, so this is where most of them sit. Checked monthly, last on 1 Nov 2026.
Update activity
Downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites.
Not enough installs to measure. This needs at least 100 active sites; below that, a handful of downloads reads as tens of thousands.
Release cadence
Actively maintainedHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Stripe was new to me, but I finally managed to test everything and get it live. Thanks in part to the help of plugin developer. Thanks for the support, Troy! I really appreciate it!

If you’re looking for a neat solution when hooking Contact Form 7 up to Stripe, this is the plug-in for you. Easy to configure and code around with simple integration. Ideal for coding situations where you don’t want heaps of unwanted, bloated calibration and perfunctory features. Props to Troy for continuing support and assistance.
