Accept PayPal Payments using Contact Form 7

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 59% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   We have just starting using this plugin after numerous issues with another that was designed for syncing Contact 7 forms with PayPal (or stripe) and not working properly. This plugin does work, however our only concern is that as another reviewer commented that notifications are only sent on successful completion after returning from paypal, not right after submitting the form. This may result in not getting a copy of all completed forms if a customer doesnt finalise the payment process.

   The notification email that is normally sent after submitting the form was not being sent. The customer support for this issue was top notch and timely. Turns out, this email is sent only after making a successful paypal payment – not right after submitting the form and before being taken to paypal.

   No documentation on the plugin itself, the documentation for the “free” version seems to be a broken link. So you are left with absolutely no guide to help you actually use this plug-in. This topic was modified 5 years, 5 months ago by zavakz.
