Biggest opportunity: Swap “bonus” for “purchase”. “bonus” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “purchase” sits at #22 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 200 of 9.2K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,173 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 2 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.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| purchase | #22 | #22 | 0 |
| gift with purchase | #8 | #15 | up 1 |

The plugin helped to solve the problem with a gift that is automatically added to the cart, for certain conditions of purchase in the store. Thanks to the developer!

I recently installed Gift upon purchase for WooCommerce and found it to be incredibly easy and straightforward to set up. The interface is intuitive and I was able to start using it right away. However, I did notice that when trying to add multiple free gifted products, the cart calculation did not account for this and I was unable to receive the first product for free. It would be great if the plugin could calculate the cart accordingly so that users can still take advantage of the initial gift offer. Additionally, it would be helpful to have the ability to disable the free gift option under product attributes. Thirdly, I’ve found the Disable gifts for this product is not working. Overall, I’m really happy with the plugin and the improvements I’ve suggested would make it even better! This topic was modified 3 years, 4 months ago by onestudiowebdesign.

Which was exactly what I needed. This adds a block to the product editor where you can select what gift gets added to the cart when that product is selected. It’s a simple, lightweight plugin and works exactly as advertised. You can also enable general settings so certain days, times, or above a certain amount of money spent gets gifts added to the cart. If they ever decide to add any features in the future, it might be cool to also make it be able to add gifts to the cart depending on certain coupon codes used. I would also really have liked it if when the gift is added to the cart, there is an option that shows the original price of the gift, with a strike-through demonstrating that it is now free. For example, I have a downloadable gift that’s worth $700 dollars. I’m giving it away free to certain customers, and I’d love it if there were a strike-through so when it’s added to the cart, they can see that the free gift they got is originally worth $700 but now “crossed out” down to zero. Again, that’s only if they decide to add options. It works perfectly as is.

Funciona muy bien, cumple con lo que dice y no tiene ventanas emergentes molestas. Le doy un 10, porque es justo lo que buscaba. Un plugin simple y funcional, con el que poder ofrecer regalos de forma rápida y sin tener que leer tutoriales para hacerlo funcionar.
