Biggest opportunity: Swap “coupons” for “pricing”. “coupons” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “pricing” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

1.5%

of downloads still active

At least 20K of 1.3M lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,169 plugins.

Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other eCommerce 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 11 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.

    Otherwise lovely plugin but it broke the “Gems” mode with WooVirtualWallet by Longwatchstudios and made every Gems product free

    This is a great plugin for making discount any way you want, free version is allready excellent, but if you want to go all the way do yourself a favour and get the pro-version. Even more possibilities! If you need support they are always ready to help you very quick and with excellent sollutions that work! 🙂 This topic was modified 7 months, 2 weeks ago by Gertjan Bakker.

    Great plugin. Works fine, and for the three years that we have been using it, we haven’t noticed a single error, not that something that is described as not working. Thank you to developer! You made my life easier 🙂

    This is a FANTASTIC plugin, and the support is fantastic. I am so impressed with the support given. The plugin works really well. If you’re looking for a WooCommerce discount plugin, this is the one!

    The plugin is a bit tricky to set up at first, but with some effort, you’ll eventually figure it out. It seems to work fine for a single discount rule, but as soon as you try to apply discounts to multiple specific products, it starts summing up the entire cart and applying discounts where it shouldn’t. I couldn’t find any conditions that would allow proper targeting of specific product IDs. I assume this could be easily resolved if the plugin allowed precise control over which products the discount applies to. After two hours of testing, I gave up. To be fair, part of the blame likely lies with WooCommerce itself, as its pricing and discount logic can be overly complex.

    We tested many dynamic pricing plugins, but Advanced Dynamic Pricing for WooCommerce by Algol+ was the only one that covered all our core requirements right out of the box. We’re using the Pro version, and it has proven to be incredibly flexible and reliable, even within our complex WooCommerce setup. What really impressed us, though, is the outstanding support team. They responded very quickly and went above and beyond to accommodate some very specific requests we had – particularly where compatibility with other plugins was concerned. Their willingness to go the extra mile made all the difference. Can’t recommend this plugin highly enough – both the product and the support are truly top-class.

    CART and CHECKOUT not showing the discounted prices. Is this an oversight?
