Biggest opportunity: “add to cart”, “ajax add to cart” and “block” 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.

of downloads still active
At least 600 of 29K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.3%, across 4,993 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.

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.

This is the only thing that worked for me when trying to add ajax to products in a loop. Thank the lord!

This plugin has helped me through a very customized implementation resulting in the success of our project. It is highly capable even for customized JS frontend implementations. Highly recommended– the plugin author definitely has hit right through the dilemna on solving the add-to-cart functionality which is easier for the developer to implement and great for customers’ seamless buying experience(resulting in more sales!). Bonus is… support is tremendously great and they have exhaustively helped me through till resolution on my request.

Our business runs on WooCommerce and for the longest time we were using the standard add to cart capabilities because we didn’t know any better. We spend a ton of money on traffic acquisition, funnel marketing strategies, landing page design, on and on, but sometimes it the simplest things that get overlooked. One thing that is required to turn a prospect into a customer is to get them to click “add to cart”. It seems pretty basic, but there is tremendous power waiting to be unleashed in the ad to cart button and this plugin allows you to do it. We had a couple of questions and the company’s support got back to us right away – super friendly, super knowledgeable. Thank you!

Very useful plugin to enhance every Woocommerce shop. What’s more, support is quick and extremely helpful, especially for a free plugin!

This plugin has proven to be a lifesaver and a massive convenience for adding product add to cart buttons anywhere on your site. Extremely easy to use and to implement as well as customize. Thank you so much to the developer. I hope that the plugin gains more usage. Please continue to update the plugin and support as well as you have done thus far.
