Biggest opportunity: Swap “digital downloads” and “woocommerce” for “store closed” and “e store”. “digital downloads” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “store closed” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “woocommerce” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “e store” sits at #5 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 700 of 155.1K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,154 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.

    I purchased this plugin several years ago.I’ve had some issues using it recently, but thanks to the excellent support, everything was resolved and now everything works properly.

    The plugin works reasonably well.Following issues: When selecting that the email should be the password, no “password” is displayed either at checkout or in the confirmation email — it is simply blank. If the developer responds, I am happy to adjust the rating—if they do not respond, I would like my money back.

    I have been trying to get support via emails, contact forms, Skype calls for weeks all without a response. I have just installed Ebook Store and I’m stuck at a point where I can’t get the store up and running. I bought the Pro version. Still no response from support. Can anyone tell me what’s going on or how to get a refund?

    This plugin didn’t work for me. The interface to upload files is shit. I have some large files (100mb+) that I cannot protect because the only way to upload is with the windows file selector instead of the WordPress one and no field to put and URL for the file. Also, you can only add one file per product, no support for multiple files of the same type at all. This topic was modified 3 years, 1 month ago by GeroDolja.

    I got the eBook plug-in for a client so he could provide eBook downloads for free from his website. I was able to easily integrate it into our existing woocommerce account and theme. When I hit a snag, support was able to help do exactly what I needed.

    I emailed the developer twice with no response. The plugin forces you to also use WooCommerce in order for it to work. I switched to WP express checkout which is much easier to work with.

    Update: The developer did finally update the plugin and fixed the error on our website. Apparently you only get 2 years of support and lifetime upgrades. The plugin is great for what we need and we didn’t have any troubles until recently. *The plugin E-Book Store is now broken on our site (critical error) and no one has responded to our support emails.
