Biggest opportunity: Add “retailers” to your wp.org tags. You rank #12 for it without listing it, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 3 listed it's a slot worth spending.

How it's measured →3.1%
of downloads still active
At least 800 of 25.7K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,772 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 9 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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| retailers | #12 | #22 | 0 |
| independent | #20 | #24 | up 1 |
| integration your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| marketplace your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| wholesale your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
21 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 2 listed. 19 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it

Very low quality plugin, causing very serious issues, does not sync well, support threads not answered. Avoid, avoid.

Constant issues, poor code quality
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ madisonbayco2.5y ago
This plugin has saved us gobs of time and work! We use WooCommerce to manage our own wholesale site orders and, after joining Faire, needed a plugin to sync Faire orders with Woo as well. We didn’t want to leave WP/Woo or begin using another eCommerce solution to manage Faire orders and transactions. This plug in was the perfect solution! Have been using it for about a year with few hiccups, but support was responsive when needed and, on one occasion, was on the phone with us for over an hour to resolve the issue! Highly recommend it to WordPress/Woo and Faire users.

I’ve tried this plugin a few times and the sync always failed. Also tried to reach out their support for some help. Unfortunately, no one would response and I have to say very poor support in my experience.
