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 0.9%, across 1,043 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.

Not enough installs to measure. This needs at least 100 active sites; below that, a handful of downloads reads as tens of thousands.

    Visible only to logged-in customers and does not calculate VAT. Too bad, otherwise it would be perfect.

    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.
