Biggest opportunity: “ecommerce” and “payment gateway” 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.

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.

What to do about it
- “ecommerce” and “payment gateway” 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.
- Already on top for “afghan”. #2 without listing it. A tag would change little there; your slots are better spent on a search you don't yet win.

I’m not a tech person, and honestly, payment gateways always gave me a headache. But this plugin? It just worked. I connected HesabPay to my WooCommerce store by simply pasting the API keys; no complicated setup, no stress. It felt effortless. Everything synced perfectly, and I didn’t have to dig through documentation or ask for help. This plugin is a true gateway to peace of mind for Afghan merchants. It deserves to be promoted so every Afghan business owner can benefit from it

I’ve personally tested the HesabPay Gateway for WooCommerce, and I’m really impressed with how smooth and stable it is. The integration was effortless, I just entered my API key, switched to live mode, and payments started working immediately. Everything feels well-structured and secure. What I like most is how perfectly this plugin fits Afghanistan’s eCommerce environment. It supports multi-vendor payouts, handles real-time USD to AFN exchange rates, and ensures every transaction is verified through secure webhooks. The checkout experience is simple and fast, which my customers really appreciate. The plugin is also officially partnered with HesabPay, so it’s fully trusted and reliable. Whether you’re running a small store or a multi-vendor marketplace, this plugin makes the entire payment process automated and transparent. I’ve tried several local payment integrations before, but this one stands out for its professional build quality, modern dashboard, and top-notch support. It’s clear that this plugin was created with real Afghan businesses in mind. If you’re looking for a solid, secure, and easy-to-use payment gateway for WooCommerce, the Official HesabPay Gateway is definitely the right choice.

I’ve been using the Official HesabPay Gateway for WooCommerce and I’m genuinely impressed! The setup was super easy — just add the API keys and it works flawlessly. It’s officially partnered with HesabPay, which gave me full confidence in security and reliability. The multi-vendor payout automation is a lifesaver — no more manual payments! It even supports real-time exchange rates and smart multilingual translations, perfect for Afghan stores that deal with both AFN and USD. I upgraded to the Pro version, and it’s totally worth it! The manual payout control, advanced debug tools, and priority support make it feel like a professional-grade solution. If you’re running an Afghan or international WooCommerce store, this is hands down the best and most secure plugin for HesabPay integration. Highly recommended for anyone serious about local eCommerce in Afghanistan. This plugin for easy integration, Secure payment, Multi-vendor support and have great support team.

The free version already covers all the basics, and the Pro version adds even more useful features. This plugin has made accepting HesabPay payments stress-free. Definitely worth using for any WooCommerce store!

After what felt like forever waiting for a proper HesabPay integration, this plugin finally delivers what we’ve all been looking for. The setup is incredibly smooth – just activate, add your API credentials, and you’re ready to accept payments through HesabPay. What I love most is how seamlessly it integrates with WooCommerce. The payment flow is clean, the admin interface is intuitive, and the multi-vendor support is a game-changer for marketplace owners. Plus, the exchange rate toggle feature gives you full control over pricing.The developer clearly knows their stuff. Clean code, proper error handling, and it actually follows WordPress coding standards (which is rare these days!). The webhook handling is rock solid, and I haven’t had a single failed payment since switching to this gateway. If you’re running an Afghani e-commerce site and need a reliable payment solution, this is definitely the plugin you’ve been waiting for. Should have been released long time ago, but better late than never!
