Biggest opportunity: Swap “conversion”, “sales” and “woocommerce” for “custom badges”, “diamonds” and “woocommerce badges”. “conversion” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “custom badges” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “sales” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “diamonds” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “woocommerce” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “woocommerce badges” sits at #12 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 →0.7%
of downloads still active
At least 100 of 14.3K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,143 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 3 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.

The plugin is a great addition to your woocommerce shop if you are looking for badges with custom text. At first I had some small issues, but the support was so quick with their replies AND to fix the plugin with updates. Thanks!
