PI Advanced Flat rate / Conditional shipping for WooCommerce

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

109 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 20 listed. 86 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words).

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

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.

Crossed into this band 3 years ago; the previous band took 14 months to cross, which places it about 80% of the way through.

   Rajesh went above and beyond to help me resolve a complex shipping issue on my WooCommerce site. He was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and patient throughout the entire process. What impressed me the most was his dedication; he stuck with the problem until it was fully solved and made sure everything was working exactly as it should. His communication was professional, and genuinely friendly. I’m really grateful for his support and highly recommend both the plugin and the team behind it.

   I can’t upload a screenshot to show this, but it allows me to easily split orders and push them through toto the correct shipping system. This would be a 5-Star rating if the documentation about how to do things were a little better. For example, I am a FFL Dealer, meaning I must take special actions to ship a firearm. That means anytime there is a firearm in an order – in particular when it is combined with a non-restricted item – there will be at least two shipments. Sometimes more, such as when an item is ordered that isin stock here at the store, a firearm is ordered, and a piece of gear that is not-restricted, but will be drop shipped from a warehouses also ordered. This means I have *three* separate shipments, each one of which has its own shipping rate. One of whch is even calculated! That’s a fairly simple situation too. I believe this can handle all of that, though it takes some backend coding to make it all happen. Stuffing MetaData into the order to know what goes where. The reason this is currently 4-star instead of five is that defining those rules, and the way they interact, is overly complex right now. So much so, that I at least, have to keep a paper matrix of what has to happen. And sometimes, in edge cases in particular, it still goes unexplainably wrong. I am looking forward to the next version, which I think will be a little smoother to use.:) But at the end of the day, it is plain that I could not operate without this. Just more documentation, and API documentation. This topic was modified 1 year, 2 months ago by paulr931.
