Biggest opportunity: “alternative payments”, “e commerce” and “ecommerce” 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 10 of 3.9K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,168 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.
High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 8+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.9.35, well behind 7.1.

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.

Directory rank
Ranked about #30,400 to #44,800, alongside the other plugins at 10+ installs. Plugins with the same install count swap places between wp.org requests, so this is where most of them sit. Checked monthly, last on 1 Nov 2026.
Update activity
Downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites.
Not enough installs to measure. This needs at least 100 active sites; below that, a handful of downloads reads as tens of thousands.
Release cadence
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

There are two really big issues with this. The first is that even though the company made a press release that this plugin is available Alternative Payments Announces Woocommerce Plugin Support, their support team refuses to talk to you if you want to use woocommerce. Hello Mr. XXXXXXXXXXXX, As it can be seen on the link below, unfortunately, we do not support WooCommerce at the moment. List of supported plugins and integrations: https://www.2000charge.com/support/plugins-and-integrations.html Best Regards, Ivan Merchant Support mail: [email protected] website: 2000charge.com 2000charge.com So, you’re COMPLETELY out of luck if you try to use this. Second, the plugin, if you get it working – does not support the Alternative Payments subscription model (called plans). I rated it one star because I can’t go any lower. The source *might* be a decent start for someone to develop on their own, but don’t expect any help.
