Biggest opportunity: Add “creditcard” and “echeck” to your wp.org tags. You rank #12 and #16 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 2 listed these are the slots worth spending.

of downloads still active
At least 50 of 10.8K lifetime downloads are still running, below 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.

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.

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ gambitx3x1.6y ago
can’t load the echeck, it just loads the credit card form and the instructions are unclear on how to add attributes in the shortcode
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ atomicwp4.5y ago
The plugin is very straight forward and easy to use. There isn’t much documentation though, and I learned that it is not compatible with Oxygen. But that is no big deal, I worked around that issue and was able to configure a basic payment page for my client who uses LawPay. The only thing I didn’t like was that it generates an H1, I already had an h1 as part of my template, so I just added display: none; That said, styling the payment form is very easy to do. Thanks to the developers who made this! This topic was modified 4 years, 3 months ago by atomicwp. This topic was modified 4 years, 3 months ago by atomicwp.
