How it's measured →1.5%
of downloads still active
At least 500 of 33.1K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Forms plugin keeps 1.2%, across 1,668 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Forms 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.

I’ve been using this plugin for many years and it just works so well. Thank you!!

Saved me days of figuring out the eWay integration by myself. I had it all setup and working, then 1 week in ran into a problem. Emailed support and they were so helpful. I was actually quite shocked at how super helpful they were!

This plugin works great! What’s even better is that the developer Ross offers quick support and has gone out of his way to help us. Definitely recommended!

A terrific plugin that works as intended with very little set-up. Support for the plugin is top notch as well. Thanks WebAware.

Great work on having an eway plugin for gravity forms, but it doesnt work as desired. Would prefer it to work similar to the paypal plugins where credit card details are obtained and stored on eway, but our server. Requires SSL certificate to be configured for integration to work. 🙁

Great plugin which worked out of the box for me. Even better it now supports multiple currencies so other forms can use a different currency than AUD. Great job!
