Biggest opportunity: Swap “payment” for “paypal payments”. “payment” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “paypal payments” sits at #24 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 →0.3%
of downloads still active
At least 800 of 293K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Payments plugin keeps 1.0%, across 1,042 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 14 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 “payment” for “paypal payments”. “payment” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “paypal payments” sits at #24 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 “paypal donation”. #13 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

This is the only plugin that does a form with PayPal integration as one. The form is simple and payment is immediate.I love the simplicity, very easy to produce a form an easy to combine into a page. All works very well. Support is very fast.

This plugin is perfect to deal with the requirement of allowing payments via Paypal. It goes further than adding a simple pay button, because you can easily set up a whole form and get all the required data from the buyer.
