Biggest opportunity: Swap “form builder”, “checkout plugin” and “checkout editor” for “checkout blocks”, “block checkout” and “surcharge”. “form builder” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “checkout blocks” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “checkout plugin” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #24. “block checkout” sits at #14 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “checkout editor” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #14. “surcharge” sits at #16 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 →4.7%
of downloads still active
At least 1K of 21.4K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,143 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 11 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.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

What to do about it
- Swap “form builder”, “checkout plugin” and “checkout editor” for “checkout blocks”, “block checkout” and “surcharge”. “form builder” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “checkout blocks” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “checkout plugin” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #24. “block checkout” sits at #14 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “checkout editor” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #14. “surcharge” sits at #16 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 “checkout editor”. #14 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

I was using this plugin for a long time and today it gets an new update of conditional formatting. This options is now needs pro, is it going to be paid plugin after all this time?

Thanks for this great plugin! After struggling to figure out how to customize the new block-based WooCommerce checkout and cart templates, I came across this plugin—and it does exactly what we needed. It works smoothly and is easy to use. Works perfectly in Twenty Twenty-Four WordPress theme.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Danielle Zarcaro1.8y ago
I needed to add a checkout field and wanted to use the new block editor experience, so none of the old methods worked. But the thought of having to figure out how to do all this from scratch was so overwhelming. I came across this plugin, it gives me a choice of what type of field, so easy to use, an absolute lifesaver. I’d 100% pay for a pro version of this that lets me have some advanced functionality like only showing the field if they have a certain product category in their order or loading a value based on a user meta field. THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS PLUGIN!

This plugin allowed me to easily add fields in the WordPress block editor to the WooCommerce Checkout page with the Checkout block. Nice and clean and straightforward functionality. Important options allowed for validation requirements and for the field to be displayed on the order confirmation page and emails. Very nice!
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ MisterR1.9y ago
The functionality is VERY limited at the moment. You can only add new fields. You can’t add a new field to the “Billing Address” or the “Shipping Address” group. It can simply be a stand-alone new field. You also can’t edit existing (default) fields inside the Checkout Block. P.S. The WC Checkout block sucks and this plugin makes it just a little bit better.
