Biggest opportunity: Swap “price” for “lowest price”. “price” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “lowest price” sits at #20 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 1K of 21.3K lifetime downloads are still running, above 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.

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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| lowest price | #20 | #20 | down 5 |
| price your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| product your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| variable your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| variation your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| woocommerce your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
1 search this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 5 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- Swap “price” for “lowest price”. “price” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “lowest price” sits at #20 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

This plugin is a graceful solution to three problems with the way Woocommerce displays variations by default. Thank you for making a plugin that does the minimum needed and that keeps its settings tucked in the Woocommerce settings.

Thanks for the nice plugin.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ stanikub4.7y ago
I was looking for this for the past two hours. Everyone is writing about showing the price from the lowest or from the highest. But this plugin updates the price of variation product in place of the main price. And on top of that removes the “clear” link. Perfect. And it’s so easy, just activate and enjoy. Thank you! The only thing I would change or make it optional is the From: before showing the lowest price. I ended up using custom functions.php code to display the lowest variation price instead, because I don’t want the word From: before the price.

It changed what I needed. It seems like the right move to not scare off customers with the highest price showing. It will boost CTR I believe. More options would be nice to choose from but it really does all you really need. I’m hoping support is continued with this plugin as there aren’t many out there.
