Biggest opportunity: Swap “woocommerce”, “woocommerce checkout blocks” and “woocommerce payment” for “payment gateways”, “manual payment” and “gateway for woocommerce”. “woocommerce” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “payment gateways” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “woocommerce checkout blocks” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “manual payment” sits at #13 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “woocommerce payment” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #14. “gateway for woocommerce” sits at #14 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up.

How it's measured →7.3%
of downloads still active
At least 8K of 109.5K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,155 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 2 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.

What to do about it
- Swap “woocommerce”, “woocommerce checkout blocks” and “woocommerce payment” for “payment gateways”, “manual payment” and “gateway for woocommerce”. “woocommerce” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “payment gateways” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “woocommerce checkout blocks” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “manual payment” sits at #13 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “woocommerce payment” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #14. “gateway for woocommerce” sits at #14 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 “payment gateway”. #13 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
