Biggest opportunity: Add “woocommerce file upload”, “files” and “upload” to your wp.org tags. You rank #4, #6 and #9 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 4 listed these are the slots worth spending.

of downloads still active
At least 7K of 185.4K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,155 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 6 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
- Add “woocommerce file upload”, “files” and “upload” to your wp.org tags. You rank #4, #6 and #9 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 4 listed these are the slots worth spending.
- One page off on “checkout”. #12 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Sure the free version works for One image upload Only! Then you have to buy the Por version. Easy enough to use, could do with some better options within the layout

Simple to configure. Doesn’t have a good support to Divi, it needs some custom adjustments to work with Divi Woocommerce Modules. This topic was modified 1 year, 5 months ago by rafaelzrt.

They still haven’t updated this plugin to be HPOS compatible, although it is a simple thing to do. Asking them to do anything, even in exchange for payment, is futile. I think at this stage that I’ll get my own plugin programmed if they don’t update within the next month. Shame on you!

This plugin was ridiculously east to install and setup, and it is exactly what I was looking for – a file upload for a custom product at checkout. And the Free version is fully functional! WOOT!

This plugin it might be very helpful if, for some reason, you have to let customers upload files during the checkout.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ renisauria5.6y ago
The free version of this plugin is just brilliant! The UI is very easy to understand, making it pretty straightforward to configure. We needed to have an upload field on the Checkout so customers could attach a PDF file. The file can be included as an actual email attachment, and not just a link. It also has the ability to include the upload field conditionally, meaning you can link it to a specific product on the backend, and it will just show if that product is in cart. I have tested multiple checkout upload plugins over the last few months. This is HANDS DOWN the BEST plugin of its kind on the market.

The free version of the plugin does much more than other paid plugins do. So many possibilities for customisation.
