Biggest opportunity: Swap “accept bitcoin” for “altcoin”. “accept bitcoin” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “altcoin” sits at #10 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 500 of 219.5K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.3%, across 4,991 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.

What its installed base runs
via wordpress.orgShare of active installs on each version of this plugin · 96% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.
Estimated active installs

The only plugin for WordPress that does not require an account on a third party site. Please don’t let this plugin die, otherwise there will be no alternative for WordPress anymore This topic was modified 2 years, 5 months ago by madmax98.

Good plugin, easy to use. Just woocommerce subscription option does not automatically charge the user every month, the user must pay in crypto manually monthly.

Great payment plugin with an add-on for PaidMembershipPro. But I have huge reservations. The selection of crypto coins is severely limited and most of this selection is unusable. A number of unknown currencies that cannot be used in any way. Another problem is the absence of a new format of BTC addresses “bc1”. By using an outdated format, the gateway relies on expensive fees and slow approval of transactions and an unnecessarily high limit between the gateway wallet and the home wallet. However, alternatives to LTC and others can be used. The crypto world has moved on in those few years and needs to be addressed. To add countless currencies, I would personally welcome Cardano, NANO .. It is a great pity that one sometimes feels that development has stopped, because this service is very nice, plugins work together as they should, technically there is no problem. Personally, I use it with the GoURL – PaidMembership add-on. The ideal solution for crypto payments for paid memberships. I recommend. And I recommend to developers not to fall asleep and not to lose one of the firsts on the market.. 😉 This topic was modified 5 years, 2 months ago by ixtrading.

Everything is advertised as awesome until you receive your first payment and then they tell you they won’t transfer your money until you’ve got enough balance. They give an explanation, however it’s not clearly stated BEFORE you receive a payment (how about when you create the account?)

Works just as described. Support is sometimes a bit slow to reply but that is fine – although that is only thing that might need improvement. Make sure to use BCH or similar coin to avoid super high fees and not dealing with BTC for small amounts and it will all go smooth. 99% of “scam” related threads are just because of limit of 0.01 BTC by their system for withdrawal. Besides that everything is smooth as it should be. Thank you!

I’m not a developer by any stretch of the imagination, but I was able to get this set up and working. I’m in the adult content industry and regular payment gateways exclude us regularly, so this was a great alternative that allowed me to accept gifts without being restricted to the usual payment methods.

Plenty of options and got support when needed, thanks!

I have been a user of GoURL some some time but the script that I use for my websites no longer supports the processor. This left me with funds (below the minimum payment) that I could not access. After contecting GoURL it was suggested that I close my accounts there and request a Manual Payment. I followed this suggestion and was delighted to receive my funds within 48 hours. I would not hesitate to enrol there again if I ever use a script that has the service integrated. Thank you GoURL for your wonderful support. isaanman
