Biggest opportunity: “automatic payment”, “installment” and “partial payment” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

of downloads still active
At least 20 of 3.9K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Payments plugin keeps 1.0%, across 1,145 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.

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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| deposit your tag | #8 | #22 | down 1 |
| deposits | #24 | #24 | down 4 |
| automatic payment your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| installment your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| partial payment your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| payment scheduling your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
9 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 2 listed. 7 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it

Update activity
Downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites.
Not enough installs to measure. This needs at least 100 active sites; below that, a handful of downloads reads as tens of thousands.
What its installed base runs
via wordpress.orgShare of active installs on each version of this plugin. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.
Estimated active installs
The public count shows “20+”. Our estimate pins where the real number sits.
Crossed into this band 51 days ago and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just over 20.

Visible only to logged-in customers and does not calculate VAT. Too bad, otherwise it would be perfect.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Wikis1.7y ago
I tested it out, and it just works! No conflict or whatsoever. It has flexible deposit and installment options per product category. The integration with Stripe Autopayment works like a charm. The automatic reminders and customizable notifications are fantastic. The only thing is that in the main settings, where you create a payment plan, it doesn’t support a fixed amount, which makes it hard to balance the payment plan since the percentage system doesn’t support decimals.
