Biggest opportunity: Swap “woocommerce” for “price negotiation”. “woocommerce” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “price negotiation” 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 10K of 644K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,166 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 9 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.

What to do about it
- Swap “woocommerce” for “price negotiation”. “woocommerce” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “price negotiation” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

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!
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Mo2.9y ago
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.
