Biggest opportunity: Swap “bitcoin”, “ethereum” and “accept bitcoin” for “solana”, “coin” and “kyc”. “bitcoin” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “solana” sits at #13 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “ethereum” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #24. “coin” sits at #20 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “accept bitcoin” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #21. “kyc” sits at #23 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 400 of 48.5K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,764 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |

17 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 8 listed. 9 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 1 of its tags isn't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- Swap “bitcoin”, “ethereum” and “accept bitcoin” for “solana”, “coin” and “kyc”. “bitcoin” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “solana” sits at #13 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “ethereum” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #24. “coin” sits at #20 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “accept bitcoin” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #21. “kyc” sits at #23 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 “litecoin”. #13 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

I’ve been using a lot of crypto plugins (BitPay, CoinPayments, CryptoWoo and etc.) and I can really say that this is the best one yet. Simple registration, simple integration, tool is really easy to use and has a lot of functionalities (invoice customization, multiple payout options, currency options) Would reccommend everyone who wants to accept cryptocurrency payments!

Even I am running an old version of woocommerce, this plugin works like a charm!

About a couple of months ago we’ve added CoinGateit as a payment solution. The integration was quite easy, and we’re very happy to see more and more users starting to pay with CoinGate’s solution. The main reasons we’ve decided to add CoinGate to our payment solutions on our website were high demand from our clients; payment versatility and flexibility (70+ crypto currencies to pay with, and the ability to choose our favorite settlement currency); low costs; fast & easy integration. So far CoinGate’s solution has exceeded our expectations, and the service has been great (both pre- and post-integration).

Although there are a lot of similar services that allows accepting crypto, I specifically like Coingate the most. Not only it charges only 1% fees, but by using Coingate your shoppers dont need to register an account to pay the invoice (unlike on some other services) Additionally, Coingate allows to accept a lot of cryptocurencies, which is a great way for small businesses to be attractive for a lot of crypto users. Finally, the integration using WordPress plugin was smooth, although needed to follow the instructions for some steps. Overall, I’m happy with this service.

We have been using Coingate’s plugin for more than half a year now and had several purchases with it. Works great, the installation was quick, no complaints at all. Recommended!

We are using this plugin for more than a year and process a large number of payments. Overall works well but not to perfection. For example, SOMETIMES an order status is updated to “paid” correctly, but after 1 or 2 hours the order status changes to “canceled” (no idea why because the payment was already received). So the client will contact me screaming asking why we took the money and canceled the order… then I have to explain and check manually. Coingate should pay more attention to this plugin and update it more often.

I been trying to get my account verified since July 2019. Its march 2021 now. Imagine how long this has took me to finally had it and leave a bad review. To get verified I had to sent in all my personal details, I did. Then they refused it since its all in dutch. I’m a dutch freelancer, not an internation multi milion dollar business. It cost me a lot of money to request all the official documents translated to english. Then still no verification. They keep making excuses not to verify. While I keep responding right away to their request. They take weeks sometimes months to reply. To the point today, I still cant refund my balance, I cant accept bitcoin anymore, And I lost all my BTC that are in my coingate account. DO NOT USE COINGATE

I used the Coingate plugin to accept bitcoin for the last years and it worked with little issues but now I can not withdraw my bitcoin, it is stuck in coingate and they do not reply with any update to my ticket opened about the issue in December 2020 and I provided all documents they asked. They said they are still checking documents but it should not take more than 2 months to check, my bitcoin is still stuck and caused me loss. I saw other coingate plugin users reported this similar issue and this plugin should probably be suspended from WordPress for causing harm and loss to users. For now removed the Coingate plugin due to the issue, and no new plugin updates for the last 2 years, I worry they are planning to exit scam with my thousands of dollars of bitcoin. Please someone at Coingate reply and either ask for more documents if you need or approve my withdraw request, thank you.
