Biggest opportunity: Swap “hide category” and “hide price” for “hide add to cart button” and “inject”. “hide category” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #11. “hide add to cart button” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “hide price” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #11. “inject” sits at #15 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →6.5%
of downloads still active
At least 3K of 46.4K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,151 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.
This plugin shipped 8 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.

What to do about it
- Swap “hide category” and “hide price” for “hide add to cart button” and “inject”. “hide category” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #11. “hide add to cart button” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “hide price” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #11. “inject” sits at #15 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “hide category”. #11 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

We have a WooCommerce website that sells courses. We open registration at a specific time and day and there are always dozens of people waiting for us to open registration. This plugin has made it much easier for us to open registration for all our courses at once, at exactly the desired time. Thanks!

I don’t need it often but when I do this is super helpful. Keeps me from worrying about breaking the site by adding code snippets.

I used the plugin to create products that need to be ordered on advance by the customer, by removing the add to cart button and adding a message and a link to an order form.
