Biggest opportunity: Add “method” and “payment calculator” to your wp.org tags. You rank #6 and #23 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 4 listed these are the slots worth spending.

of downloads still active
At least 1K of 18.1K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Payments plugin keeps 1.0%, across 1,043 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.
This plugin shipped 3 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.

What to do about it
- Add “method” and “payment calculator” to your wp.org tags. You rank #6 and #23 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 4 listed these are the slots worth spending.
- One page off on “discount”. #12 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

My site’s favicon disappears when I open the plugin

Great and simple plugin. Good and fast contact with the developer who adapted the plugin to work with another popular plugin “Tiered Pricing Table for WooCommerce”.

Great plugin and free version does everything we need, saved us $45 vs the woocommerce official plugin for this functionality. Would have gladly donated a few bucks if the dev had a Bitcoin address posted here. Used this plugin to give our Bitcoin customers a discount for saving us the CC fees. Thank you developers!Note: It’s a bit confusing how to add a discount, clicking “save” doesn’t do it alone, you need to click the right “plus” sign to create the discount. It’s obvious in retrospect but I missed it!

The plugin works fine except for the main thing: It does the percentage calculation wrong. Please fix the configuration. Thank you so much.
