Biggest opportunity: Swap “woocommerce marketplace” for “multi vendor”. “woocommerce marketplace” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “multi vendor” sits at #5 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 →0.6%
of downloads still active
At least 100 of 15.8K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Payments plugin keeps 1.0%, across 1,043 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Payments 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 20 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.

Reviewer account pattern
from wp.org reviewer profiles12 of the last 18 four- and five-star reviews came from accounts created within a month of posting the review.
Registering a wp.org account just to leave a review is common and often entirely legitimate. The share here is unusually high for the sample, so it's worth keeping in mind while reading the reviews.

I had some questions regarding the plugin. I scheduled a meeting with Brandon and he walked me through my issues and questions. 100% would recommend this plugin!

I was having some issues getting the plugin to work correctly, so I reached out to support. I did not expect that the founder and CEO would be the person helping me. They took over 30 minutes of their day to help me get everything working – some of which had to do with my stripe account and not even their plugin – and they still assisted me with that. Very happy with the plugin, and blow away by the support.

Just added this to my woocommerce site on Salient theme, a couple days ago. Worked really well! Going to save me and my partners a ton of time and hopefully reduce potential accounting headaches. Even more impressed with the level of support and responsiveness we received from plugin developers. Keep up the great job!

I Just wanted to get some information before i am installing and try the plugin. I wrote to support and got such an excellent service that I couldn’t believe. Branden answer in details any one of my quotations and try to help me achieve the best results for my web site. He told me to start with free version. I appreciate his help and knowledge. Great service and look like great plugin!

I’m truly captivated by this plugin, as it addresses a distinctive challenge of facilitating payments to vendors in multivendor stores. With this tool, effortlessly split payments among various vendors in real-time. I strongly endorse it for multivendor setups!

This is the best split payment / commission based plugin we have used on WordPress. Brian and his team were AMAZING in sorting out any issues we ran into. 100% recommended not only for the functionality of this plugin but the support is really a breath of fresh air.
