Biggest opportunity: Swap “conversion”, “woocommerce” and “one page” for “woocommerce multistep checkout”, “block checkout” and “checkout address autocomplete”. “conversion” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “woocommerce multistep checkout” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “woocommerce” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “block checkout” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “one page” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #20. “checkout address autocomplete” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

Install conversion
How it's measured →2.9%
of downloads still active
At least 20K of 700K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,143 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 11 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.

What to do about it
- Swap “conversion”, “woocommerce” and “one page” for “woocommerce multistep checkout”, “block checkout” and “checkout address autocomplete”. “conversion” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “woocommerce multistep checkout” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “woocommerce” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “block checkout” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “one page” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #20. “checkout address autocomplete” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up.

Fluid Checkout finally gives WooCommerce a truly modern checkout experience. The interface feels clean, professional and much more user-friendly than the standard WooCommerce checkout. Setup and configuration are incredibly easy, and in my case it basically worked out of the box. I am already very happy with the free version, and I will definitely consider upgrading to the Pro version once my store revenue allows it. A great plugin that makes a real difference. Highly recommended!

Fantastic checkout plugin that made a real difference to our conversion rate. We had a complex compatibility issue with our payment gateway and Diego went above and beyond to diagnose and fix it, delivering a working beta within days. The multi-step checkout is clean, professional, and works beautifully on mobile. Support like this is rare — highly recommended.
