Biggest opportunity: “shipping”, “shipping insurance” and “woocommerce shipping insurance” 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 100 of 3.3K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,168 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.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
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 |

| shipping insurance your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| woocommerce your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ pintpistol6mo ago
If you already have a shipping insurance option through your carrier or shipping company, then this will work great to collect insurance fees. Works best if you have set table shipping prices, but you can tweak it to scale with price. the normal scale is percentage based so you have to be careful not to skew it too high or low for expensive orders. The basic functionality of this is what makes it so great. No fluff. Set it up how you want it, where you want it. This doesn’t offer insurance, only provides a way to easily collect payments for insurance. A good free option compared to the suggested one being a closed-door paid plugin.
