Biggest opportunity: Swap “apple pay”, “checkout” and “credit card” for “fast checkout”, “uruguay” and “oman”. “apple pay” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “fast checkout” sits at #20 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “checkout” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “uruguay” sits at #20 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “credit card” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “oman” sits at #21 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 →0.5%
of downloads still active
At least 200 of 43.7K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,161 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 9 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.

Ranked about #11,300 to #12,900, alongside the other plugins at 200+ installs. Plugins with the same install count swap places between wp.org requests, so this is where most of them sit. Checked monthly, last on 1 Nov 2026.
Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Release cadence

Checkout.com updated php sdk couple of months ago, is plugin updated to that?

Plugin is very nice bridge between WC and checkout.com – the plugin code isn’t using best practices of WC, but hopefully they will keep improving this.
