Removed from WordPress.org
wp.org closed this plugin on 2026-08-10 — for a guideline violation. It's no longer installable or updated. If you're running it, plan a replacement: closures are often security-related and WordPress won't warn you.

Biggest opportunity: “badge”, “badges” and “e commerce” 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 100 of 39.6K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,174 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.

How it's tracked →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.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
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.

Star average over time · dips mark rough releases
Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
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.

This was the best support I’ve experienced. Kept at it until issue was sorted

First thing: this is the exact same plugin as this one https://wordpress.org/plugins/yith-woocommerce-badges-management/so don’t bother trying both of them. Second: You can put a square in different colours and one unchangeable font, or you can choose 4 pre-made badges, and that’s it. Not worth installing a plug-in for.

Never use! It corrupted my site with fatal error
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ SFRSite9.6y ago
The plugin does make simple badges that get the job done. However, when the product shows up in a “Most Recently Viewed” Widget, the badge overlays on the product making it unreadable and it looks terrible. I opened a ticket and did not expect a speedy response. I am, after all, using the free version of their product. After an extended wait (Which again, I didn’t mind since I am using a free version) I was told that this was a “custom” request, and I’d have to upgrade to the paid version where the issue was “fixed.” It’s not a custom request to ask for the layout to be correct in a common use case. In fact, I wasn’t asking them to fix it at all for me. I understand that free versions are limited, and usually have ads. I understand that developers really hope that you upgrade, after all, that’s how they will make their money. But paid versions usually have bonus functionality. I shouldn’t have upgrade to get something to actually work as intended by the developer.

The premium version of the plugin had a lot, but really a lot of problem. The support try a lot of time to resolve but did not fix the issue and i had a lot of server CPU problem. Absolutely not happy!
