Biggest opportunity: Swap “offcanvas” and “woocommerce” for “drawer” and “cart drawer”. “offcanvas” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “drawer” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “woocommerce” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “cart drawer” sits at #24 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 40 of 6.7K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,140 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.

Recent review vibe
read from the latest 2 reviews to 2026-02-13An early reviewer called it a nice little plugin, but the latest review says it breaks core WooCommerce areas like single product and cart zones, offers little customization, and needs manual code fixes to open and close properly.

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ icomsrl9mo ago
The plugin kinda does what it is supposed to do (altough it has not much customitazion and I had to overwrite some code), but when it’s active it breaks main WooCommerce features, such as Single Page Product zones, cart zones, and more. Also, I had some trouble with the default opening and closing functionalities, which I had to do by myself.Unusable. This topic was modified 5 months, 1 week ago by icomsrl.
