Biggest opportunity: Swap “affiliate plugin”, “affiliates” and “woocommerce affiliate” for “program”, “referral program” and “wordpress affiliate plugin”. “affiliate plugin” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #23. “program” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “affiliates” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #23. “referral program” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “woocommerce affiliate” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #18. “wordpress affiliate plugin” sits at #17 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →1.0%
of downloads still active
At least 500 of 51.3K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,166 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 5 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.

Very good, fast and friendly support.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Mike1.2y ago
Most of the features are available only in the PRO version, you can’t even set a percentage per product in the free version. Not to mention that the learning curve is bad. Using this plugin feels like playing a Ubisoft game.I’m wondering how this plugin received so many 5 stars reviews, it is basically useless without paying.
