Biggest opportunity: “cart link”, “cart url” and “custom add to cart link” 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 700 of 11.2K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,166 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.

    Looking for a WordPress plugin that’s smoother than butter on a hot pancake? Well, this little gem lets you add products in cart link faster than a shopaholic with a credit card!Name your links whatever your heart desires – want to call your cart ‘../my-customer-preferred’? Go for it! Your regular customers will love you for it, as they can now zip straight to their favorite goodies without playing ‘Where’s Waldo?’ on your website.For those repeat customers, it’s like giving them a VIP fast-pass to their shopping happiness. One click and BAM! – they’re ready to check out faster than you can say ‘take my money!’It’s so simple, even your cat could probably use it… if they had thumbs and a credit card, that is! 😄

    This is a plugin that came in very handy for me, thanks a lot for this. One idea for future revisions is a button so one click copies the new permanent link created. Unless I am missing something I currently have to rightclick and copy, a bit tedious for 100s of links. Thanks again five stars for usability and simplicity

    I recently installed the plugin and it works great. It’s a small task but it delivers just as it promises. I was missing a tiny feature so i wrote a topic in the support. Within a couple of days the feature was added and a new version released. So cool! Great plugin. Great support!
