How it's measured →4.1%
of downloads still active
At least 200 of 4.9K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,160 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.
This plugin shipped 4 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ean your tag | #3 | #24 | 0 |
| ean barcode | #4 | #21 | 0 |
| woocommerce ean your tag | #7 | #23 | down 2 |
| ean 13 | #3 | #18 | 0 |
| woocommerce barcode your tag | #15 | #24 | up 1 |
| gtin your tag | #24 | #24 | down 6 |
| upc barcode woocommerce | #13 | #24 | 0 |
| barcode your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
20 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 7 listed. 13 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 1 of its tags isn't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- Slipping on “gtin”. Down 6 places since 2026-09-23, now #24. Check what shipped around then, and what moved above you.
- One page off on “woocommerce barcode”. #15 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- “barcode” isn't earning a slot. You list it, but you're not in the first 24 results for that search. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ TheStingPilot6mo ago
It is a perfect plugin for displaying EAN codes on the product page. Wonderful and perfect.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ flyjacki1.1y ago
Niestety do poprawki… przy przypadkowym dodaniu do innego produktu EAN’u już używanego zamiast np. wyskakującej informacji że kod jest już używany wywala w WP błąd krytyczny.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Sascom1.4y ago
W opisie wtyczki jasno zaznaczono, że obsługuje warianty produktu i pozwala przypisać indywidualny EAN do każdego z nich. Niestety, w praktyce to nie działa — mimo poprawnie uzupełnionych danych, pola EAN dla wariantów nie są zapisywane ani wyświetlane na froncie. Brakuje jakiejkolwiek dokumentacji, jak prawidłowo wykorzystać te dane w motywie. Wsparcie techniczne również nie udziela konkretnej odpowiedzi. Dla sklepów opartych na WooCommerce, które operują na wielu wariantach, to poważny problem. Funkcjonalność opisana w dokumentacji po prostu nie działa tak, jak powinna.
