Biggest opportunity: “easy digital downloads”, “online payments” and “payment gateway” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

How it's measured →0.1%
of downloads still active
At least 10 of 10.3K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Payments plugin keeps 1.0%, across 1,042 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Payments plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
Removal-risk signals
53/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 5+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.

Not enough installs to measure. This needs at least 100 active sites; below that, a handful of downloads reads as tens of thousands.
Release cadence

It was working fine like six-seven months back but now it has stopped working. The payment page redirects to a checksum error. Contacted payumoney team and they were helpless and asked to change the plugin.

Hi A good plugin, however it isn’t working after i have updated the Easy Digital Download plugin. There’s something called a “Checksum Failed” error. Contacted the PayU team, but they couldn’t help much. The only info i got was, there’s an incorrect hash generation due to duplicate transaction ids. This plugin needs to be updated. Waiting for the response.
