Biggest opportunity: Swap “shipping rates” and “shipping calculator” for “eniture” and “calc”. “shipping rates” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “eniture” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “shipping calculator” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #14. “calc” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 100 of 9.8K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,772 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized 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 1 release 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 “shipping rates” and “shipping calculator” for “eniture” and “calc”. “shipping rates” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “eniture” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “shipping calculator” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #14. “calc” sits at #9 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 “shipping calculator”. #14 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

I bought the subscription of 1000/month for $30. I dont know for some reason, the plugin accumulated 645 transaction for just 2 days. I only did 3 transactions, site is still in test mode. It says in the description that it will be base on 1000 transaction. I need clarification on this matter.

This plugin is perfect for my business. It allows me to customize shipping costs based on linear distance and route distance for our delivery trucks. We have a fleet that delivers to a huge area on flatbeds, and this allows me to charge a minimum cost + cost per KM for real time delivery calculation at checkout. Additionally, I can set flat rate or free shipping for smaller options and choose where those can be delivered to based on distance, province, or country. The team (Paul) were amazing at helping answer my setup questions and even built a few options into their newest release to help meet my needs. I’ve been searching for a shipping plugin for a year, and this is the first one that was able to meet all of my needs.
