Biggest opportunity: “add to cart”, “ajax” and “block themes” 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.

of downloads still active
At least 300 of 9.2K lifetime downloads are still running, above 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 1 release 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.

Activate it and forget it! Works with variations, pimwick gift cards and many other plugins on a heavily customized site. Thank you!

This plugin works fine for simple products, but it does not submit any additional form fields, which means it’s incompatible with many plugins like Extra Product Options, Gift Cards etc, that collect additional options and information on the product page.
