Biggest opportunity: Swap “donation plugin” for “tip”. “donation plugin” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #22. “tip” sits at #6 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 2.4K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,139 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.

I am doing a website for a non-profit for minimal cost. Everything I found out there for a donate button was complicated for a beginner, or too expensive to buy a annual renewal version.This is free or $20 for one time paid, which is a good deal, especially for a non-profit.I did have a small issue. They responded instantly and remedied my issue (on my end).

I was trying to find an easy plugin to implement donations into WooCommerce. Found this plugin and it was affordable. Had a few formatting issues after it was installed and contact the creator for help. Was contacted in less than an hour and it was fixed soon after that! So thankful for the help! Good job!
