CoCart – Headless REST API for WooCommerce

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 10% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   since woocommerce is not offering product/cart api, this tools fits right in. you can do everything with it, all via api calls: products, variations, cart, shipping, checkout. (you might need the paid version as well. i bought them, so not sure, what comes out of the box and what features all need the extra mile. but still: worth it!) and the support is fast, too, thanks to seb. love it.
