Biggest opportunity: Add “custom order”, “failed orders” and “order workflow” to your wp.org tags. You rank #4, #4 and #4 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 3 listed these are the slots worth spending.

of downloads still active
At least 20K of 498.5K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,161 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 7 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.

We were having an issue with the Custom Order Numbers plugin suddenly skipping order numbers. It had been working flawlessly for a couple of years. Reached out to support and they replied same-day. Investigated the site, made some suggestions. (It appears to have been a conflict with the “Disable Cart Fragments” plugin.) They continued to follow up and so far everything seems to be working as expected. Great plugin and excellent customer support. Thank you! This topic was modified 8 months, 2 weeks ago by richsadams.

Change your order numbers and say goodbye to order tracking.I’ve been reporting the error for two months and constantly giving me the runaround without solving the problem.It’s incredible that it breaks the main functionality of order numbers.Not recommended.

In use since 2 years. The plugin uses meta data (keys like “alg_wc_custom_order_number”) in every order to enable custom order numbers. In this way it works with the rest of the software.

This plugin is great – it’s simple does exactly what it’s supposed to. We’ve been using it to better organize / track the large number of orders we deal with. We had a slight issue with the plugin which I reached out to support about – via a simple back-and-forth they helped troubleshoot the issue and ultimately delivered a solution that dealt with the issue perfectly. Thanks Tyche team!

When I found this plugin I was struck by the simplicity that is its strength, attention, simplicity in use and functions, it does not mean that it is worth little but that, whoever created it, has taken into account an element that is sometimes difficult to be achieved: immediate usability. In addition, in addition to the sequential numbering of orders, it also has the reset that can be set with different time intervals, I use the annual one for tax management in my country. I had a block on the sequence of the order numbers, but the support intervened and solved the problem immediately. Great job guys!
