Express Checkout via PayPal for WooCommerce

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 63% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   It doesn’t work, no more support and, when installed, this plugin itself invites to use another plugin, look at the support threads and the source code.

   hello, do not use this plugin, it killed my shop and nobody wants to help me to fix it, there is no support at all and this plugin seems to be a copy of another Paypal plugin available: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/express-checkout-integration-pulled-from-paypal-for-woocommerce/ This topic was modified 7 years, 11 months ago by blliem.
