of downloads still active
At least 100 of 4K 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.
