Biggest opportunity: Swap “cash” and “free” for “payment recovery” and “online payment gateway”. “cash” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “payment recovery” sits at #14 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “free” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “online payment gateway” sits at #22 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 2K of 116.8K 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 25 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 “cash” and “free” for “payment recovery” and “online payment gateway”. “cash” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “payment recovery” sits at #14 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “free” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “online payment gateway” sits at #22 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 “mexico”. #11 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

La versión 5.0.6 de Conekta no es compatible con la versión 6.7.1 de WordPress (incluso en la versión anterior de WordPress nunca fue compatible con la que, en aquel entonces, era la versión más reciente del plugin) por lo que no es posible acceder a las nuevas actualizaciones. Para evitar problemas utiliza la única versión del plugin que funciona y ha funcionado bien desde hace más de un año, que es la 3.7.7 Esperemos pronto el equipo de Conekta se tome el tiempo de resolver este pequeño gran inconveniente. Acualización Probando la nueva versión de Conekta ( 5.0.8 ) al parecer todo en orden hasta ahora con la versión 6.1.7 de WordPress.Nota: Si no vez la opción de pago en tu checkout al actualizar, deberás generar una nueva clave secreta desde tu panel de Conekta. Recuerda también que de la versión 3.7.7, a la nueva versión 5.0.8 de Conekta, la pasarela de cobro pasa de estar integrada en el checkout de WooCommerce a estar en un checkout independiente que se mostrará al dar clic en el botón de “Realizar pedido”;Sugerencia: Cambia el texto de tu botón de checkout para dar a entender a tus usuarios que el proceso de pago continúa en el checkout de Conekta al dar clic y así evitar que se pierdan durante el proceso de compra.

Su pasarela de pagos no tiene compatibilidad con el plugin Deposits de Woocomerce, que funciona para que tus clientes realicen compras con un anticipo. Me contacte al soporte técnico pero no me ofrecieron ninguna solución.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ haguirre7.3y ago
1) NO funcionan los cupones, 2) el sistema NO actualiza estatus de pagos en OXXO y SPEI, 3) NO hay manera de definir vigencias para cuentas CLABE al momento de recibir pagos de SPEI, 4) NO despliega bien la información en los correos ¿sigo? Es una lástima que la compañía que debería de dar el mejor servicio para OXXO Pay simple y sencillamente no está a la altura… tienen más de un año sin actualizar su plugin y estuve MESES en llamadas con ellos y simplemente no hay para cuando arreglen estos temas y den un soporte medianamente decente a sus usuarios. De momento ¡aléjense de este plugin!

Soy técnico pero creo que cualquiera pudiera instalar este plugin. Fue muy fácil y esta funcionando muy bien hasta ahorita. Lo uso para todos los pagos en mi pagina a meses, y en general para la mayoría de los pagos con tarjeta. También me ha gustado el admin de conekta para organizar los movimientos. Recomiendo el plugin.

- — Version 6.0.6 Change: line items are sent to Conekta at the effective price the customer pays; the plugin no longer reports the regular price plus a dynamic_pricing discount for sales (that confused merchants and made the IVA appear a 6.0.6
- — Version 6.0.5 Fix: classic checkout submits the exact data it validated before charging (FormData snapshot), so a third-party plugin changing a required field during the payment window (e.g. a postcode->colonia repopulator) can’t make 6.0.5
- — Version 6.0.4 Fix: classic checkout no longer leaves a card payment without an order. The conekta-order-id link is written on the WooCommerce order before completion, so the order.paid webhook can always recover and finish the order i 6.0.4
- — Version 6.0.3 Feature: send the WooCommerce order id as the Conekta order reference_id on the Blocks checkout (read from the checkout-draft order before payment). Classic keeps the reverse conekta-order-id order meta. Fix: “Undefined 6.0.3
