Biggest opportunity: Swap “apple pay” for “clover”. “apple pay” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “clover” sits at #4 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 →4.0%
of downloads still active
At least 2K of 50.6K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Payments plugin keeps 1.0%, across 1,043 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Payments 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 2 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.

All Credit Card payments are failing as of Sept 6th. The logs in WooCommerce state that there is no Name filled out. Well….you should add that to the form! The name field is now missing, if it was ever there to begin with. So now, we have to use PayPal for our customers to be able to use a credit card. The issue with this is that those payments don’t flow into Clover, thus our reporting is not correct. Your plugin hasn’t had an update in over 6 months….that’s absolutely unacceptable. I’m honestly at my wits end with Clover and am about to tell my customer to get a new system.

This review is for the version info listed below. WordPress 6.5.3WooCommerce 8.9.1Clover Payments for WooCommerce 1.0.12The plugin does NOT work with the current blocks implementation of WooCommerce. The checkout page will say “no payment method available”. You’ll need to replace the checkout page with the WooCommerce checkout shortcode.Product information does not get sent to Clover, just the sale value. That’s mostly useless.
