Biggest opportunity: “e commerce”, “print” and “store” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

of downloads still active
At least 200 of 13.2K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,140 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.
Removal-risk signals
53/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 3+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 6.1.16.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| e commerce your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| gooten your tag | Not checked yet | ||
| print your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| store your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| woocommerce your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

What to do about it
- “e commerce”, “print” and “store” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

Doesn’t integrate – waste of a lot of time

Keep getting the following error message: Error: An error occurred in the request and at the time were unable to send the consumer data.

I suppose this “kind of” will work. It finally has intergrated with my website and I can add the product to my site. However instead of sending the order to Gooten, it sends it to Printful.

Does not work. Don’t beat your head against a wall.

Followed all the instructions – seasoned WooCommerce and WordPress user. Can’t integrate my store – constantly get Error: An error occurred in the request and at the time were unable to send the consumer data. Prepared to accept it could be my WooCommerce but Printful and Printify integrate. This plugin is now 11 months without an update and isn’t even guaranteed to work with this version of WooCommerce. I suspect it is broken.
