Biggest opportunity: Swap “notification bar” and “promotion bar” for “free shipping bar for woocommerce” and “shipping bar”. “notification bar” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #23. “free shipping bar for woocommerce” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “promotion bar” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #12. “shipping bar” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →0.3%
of downloads still active
At least 200 of 69.6K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,169 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 21 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 “notification bar” and “promotion bar” for “free shipping bar for woocommerce” and “shipping bar”. “notification bar” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #23. “free shipping bar for woocommerce” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “promotion bar” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #12. “shipping bar” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “promotion bar”. #12 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

The plugin works and does the expected. Good overall handling. A special thing I need to point out is the excellent support. Really great job.

Un pluguin que aporta una ayuda a que el cliente se enganche a la tienda con el valor añadido del envio gratis en base a unas condiciones. Merece la pena.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ otavioef5.6y ago
Works like a charm. I needed support to make a change on my progress bar and support replied quickly. A suggestion would be to show the percentage of the progress bar. I believe that this would help with UX. This topic was modified 5 years, 4 months ago by otavioef.
