Biggest opportunity: Swap “cross sell” for “cart upsell”. “cross sell” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “cart upsell” sits at #20 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 20 of 2.4K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,169 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 25 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.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| cart upsell | #20 | #23 | 0 |

| side cart your tag | #23 | #23 | down 2 |
| cross sell your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| mini cart your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

Directory rank
Ranked about #25,400 to #28,300, alongside the other plugins at 20+ installs. Plugins with the same install count swap places between wp.org requests, so this is where most of them sit. Checked monthly, last on 1 Nov 2026.
Update activity
Downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites.
Not enough installs to measure. This needs at least 100 active sites; below that, a handful of downloads reads as tens of thousands.

This plugin is easy to use on the back-end setup and attractive on the front-end for customers. Tons of features available on the free version. I ended up upgrading to pro so I could upsell specific product variations and it was definitely worth it. I found a bug and the support team created a fix for my situation and sent over update files so I didn’t need to wait for the next public update. Overall this plugin is great for the free version and good value for the pro version.

I don’t know why this plug in doesn’t have any other reviews yet, it has been fantastic in its presentation of custom products to upsell customers with on check out and on product pages. I also had a minor bug where coupon codes wouldn’t automatically apply to any upsell that had been added to the cart (the only problem I’ve found with it after several months of use now), so I reached out to the devs and they responded practically instantly with an excellent fix and simple instructions to follow so I could implement it right away. I was very surprised that they got back to me so quickly, it was excellent customer service.
