Biggest opportunity: Swap “customer reviews” and “google reviews” for “collect reviews” and “collect”. “customer reviews” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “collect reviews” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “google reviews” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “collect” sits at #10 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 40 of 7.1K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,151 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 1 release 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 reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ Sergei Komlev8mo ago
I’ve been using this plugin for collecting reviews and it fits nicely into my existing setup. In my case, I’m running Easy Digital Downloads together with WP Mail SMTP, and everything works smoothly. Review requests are sent without issues, and email delivery is reliable, which was important for me. Setup didn’t take much time, and overall the plugin feels lightweight but does what it’s supposed to do. If you already have a WordPress stack with common tools, it should integrate without problems. Pretty happy with it so far 👍

It’s a bit ironic to be leaving the first review on a review request plugins, especially as I haven’t been asked to.But anyway, this plugin is one of the only non-premium options I could find that is simple enough to carry out the task of sending a simple email that asks Woocommerce customers to leave feedback. Better yet, it does this without adding bloat, admin nags, or irrelevant features/code.I was cautious about downloading this plugin as it had no reviews and currently says it stands at ‘Less than 10’ active installations. However, the fact that the plugin is open source and the developer links the Github helped put my mind at ease, and I gave it a try on a live ecommerce site. This plugin has already generated a 5 star review on the site’s Google Business profile, and we can see it has already successfully sent many other emails that have been opened and clicked on.I imagine that this plugin is currently not pushed high up the search results on the plugin depository because of its low user count as of July 2024. However, I imagine that would change quickly once ecommerce site admins realise how easy to use, lightweight, and potentially productive this plugin is.Thank you to the developer for creating this plugin, and I hope you get more attention on this project soon.
