EAN Barcode Generator for WooCommerce: UPC, ISBN & GTIN Inventory

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

   Very quick and helpful support from the team. The plugin is also great with a lot of tweaks inside the module.

   Not easy to use. Also, must buy monthly subscription to display the barcode image on your website. The Free version just displays numbers.

   I was having an issue with the EAN numbers not showing correctly on some of the products on my site and was stuck. I posted in the support forum and was instructed on how to fix the issue and it worked. This is the fastest I’ve ever received help+how to fix on this forum. The plugin is perfect and works great and the support is great.

   Simple and lightweight plugin to add GTIN13 (also known as the EAN or the European Article Number) to a product in WooCommerce!

   This is an excellent plugin that is well maintained. It is well-coded and has never caused me any issues. It consistently performs its intended function, and you can’t ask for more than that. Top marks to the creators. I highly recommend it.
