Biggest opportunity: Swap “gst” for “edd gateways”. “gst” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “edd gateways” sits at #14 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 40 of 17.1K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,765 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized 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 1 release 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.

Estimated active installs
The public count shows “40+”. Our estimate pins where the real number sits.
Crossed into this band today and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just under 50.

I was pleasantly surprised at how well this app works. It was easy to set up and use. The platform is laid out well, and most importantly it works great. The reports are amazing and it makes submitting taxes easy. And it is affordable. I use another tax collecting app on another website that can’t compare. That one is extremely expensive, the connector don’t work with the plugin, and trying to get help was a nightmare. I wasted so much time. I really appreciate Quaderno for making my job easier. Their support is also amazing.

Quaderno is very easy to use and to pair with EDD. Support is helpful and reactive. Thank you !

By far the easiest way to automate tax compliance and invoices for EDD with excellent support to boot.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Kuba Mikita7.9y ago
I’ve been the worst client asking a ton of question before even purchasing the service. Support was very helpful, they resolved a couple of bugs I found in no time. If you are hesitating and thinking if this is for you – don’t do my mistake. I should’ve gone for Quaderno the day I start my shop and I’d certainly save a lot o headache!

Switched from Taxamo to Quaderno to make our site compliant with EU Tax laws as the Quaderno integration with EDD is so much better than Taxamo. Definitely recommend using Quaderno if you sell to EU customers. Support is very responsive as well! Thanks for making it easy to be tax compliant!

For me Quaderno right now is the best solution for automated tax and invoice handling when using Easy Digital Downloads. So happy I finally moved over to Quaderno!
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Steve Henty9.7y ago
After six months of research and testing I couldn’t find any other way to comply 100% with all the EU regulations. By implementing Quaderno I was able to get everything working perfectly and in the process remove 3 other premium plugins from different developers. Most importantly, the team at Quaderno is very knowledgeable and extremely helpful. I’ve found it’s fully compatible with all the EDD extensions I have installed including Recurring Payments, Software Licensing and Stripe and PayPal gateways. This topic was modified 9 years, 4 months ago by Steve Henty. Reason: the return key submitted the form prematurely

Thanks to Quaderno I can have a fully automated billing system with Easy Digital Downloads in my WordPress website. I save a lot of time in the monthly billing, including European tax problems. Now I can focus on my business, because it’s what interests me. Thanks very much Quaderno!
