Biggest opportunity: Swap “woocommerce checkout” for “cart for woocommerce”. “woocommerce checkout” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #11. “cart for woocommerce” sits at #4 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 30K of 293K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,164 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.

What to do about it
- Swap “woocommerce checkout” for “cart for woocommerce”. “woocommerce checkout” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #11. “cart for woocommerce” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “woocommerce checkout”. #11 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

FunnelKit offers a good range of features, especially if you want more control over your checkout and sales flow. There are plenty of options to customize things and set your store apart without needing a lot of extra tools. What stands out most is the support. It’s responsive, helpful, and actually solves problems instead of just pointing to documentation.

Arun is super helpful and whenever I come to him, or any one one the FunnelKit team for that matter, they always have a solution. I was trying to get a more advanced shipping scenario set up and I just could not make it work, but Arun had a creative workaround that solved the issue. I really appreciate the kind and very knowledgeable help I always get with FunnelKit! Thank you so much for all the help.

Amazing plugin features and responsive support
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Mike9mo ago
Very new to FunnelKIt and the experience thus far has been the best ive ever experienced with a plugin/plugin developer. FunnelKit is the real deal. The side cart plugin is a very nice alternative to the woo carts. I love the modernness, customer experience, functionality and ease of use. In addition to the plugin itself, the team behind the plugin is AMAZING. Had to reach out for support and was able to get resolved within 1 day. Highly recommended to any woocommerce store.
