GLS Shipping for WooCommerce

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 45% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

At the current install trend, crossing 3K+ in roughly 306 days.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   Despite the reviews I think it’s a great plugin for free, does its job and had no errors or complaints so far. This topic was modified 6 months, 2 weeks ago by balazs087.

   Installed it on a live webshop (I know, test env, but I have no high traffic yet and was a little bit sloppy) to have bulk label printing options. The plugin immadietly created every possible GLS shipping methods on the checkout screen however I realy don’t want to support them all. The worst thing was that the shipping prices were zero by default. I immadietly uninstalled it, so I don’t know if the bulk printing operation works or not, but a plugin should not do this automatically (and silently). (Also I had a GLS option already, it simply became duplicated, one for a fair price, the other one for free.) I really want to integrate bulk printing to my product page, but this is not a good practice for an e-commerce plugin. This topic was modified 7 months, 3 weeks ago by mate12345.

   It works perfectly fine, but it’s very confusing that in the order list, the shipping address column doesn’t show the address of the selected GLS box or GLS point. Unfortunately, this is very confusing for those who manage the webshop.

   On the orders page, when I select multiple orders and choose “Bulk generate GLS labels,” then later select the same orders and choose “Bulk print GLS labels” (to print the labels generated in the first step), a duplicate tracking number is created for each order in the myGLS web application. However, if I select the orders and directly choose the “Bulk print GLS labels” action, tracking numbers are generated only once, and a PDF is available for printing. However, the tracking number is not visible on the order page in WooCommerce, and the order status appears as if no tracking number has been generated. The tracking number is only visible in the myGLS web application.
