Easy PayPal Events & Tickets

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 · 55% run the current release. 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 small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   Was easy to get set up and make a test order using the Paypal sandbox. I don’t know why this plugin isn’t more popular.

   Overall really good plugin, easy for users to use and easy for customers to navigate and purchase tickets. Support is available if you have issues with any of the functions. This topic was modified 8 years, 2 months ago by RojoCigars.

   An easy way to sell tickets for your own events without incurring large fees that companies like Ticket Tailor charge. Support is good too, I had a problem with the way the plugin way displaying and Scott sorted it for me very quickly

   I wasn’t happy with the high fees at Eventbright, so I installed Paypal Events on my WordPress site. I just used it for my first event and it worked beautifully. The developers were really helpful even though I was using the free version. Will buy the full version now…

   I wanted a small, lightweight, easy to configure ticket sales and check-in plug-in for our once a year, 3 performance in a weekend Old West Celebration. I think I’ve found the perfect answer in Easy PayPal Events. In a couple of months, after our 2016 event, I’ll know for certain. Not that I’m expecting any surprises. If your goal is to sell tickets for your organization’s own events and not run a ticket agency or event management company, I cannot begin to extol the features and ease of use of this plug-in to do it justice. It is brain-dead simple to set up and the Pro version is a steal at the price. Heck, even our members who have fallen off a horse too many times can work with it.
