Biggest opportunity: Swap “woocommerce”, “free shipping” and “local pickup” for “shipping classes”, “shipping methods” and “usps shipping”. “woocommerce” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “shipping classes” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “free shipping” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #21. “shipping methods” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “local pickup” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #11. “usps shipping” sits at #7 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 →8.8%
of downloads still active
At least 20K of 227.3K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,153 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 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.

What to do about it
- Swap “woocommerce”, “free shipping” and “local pickup” for “shipping classes”, “shipping methods” and “usps shipping”. “woocommerce” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “shipping classes” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “free shipping” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #21. “shipping methods” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “local pickup” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #11. “usps shipping” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- Slipping on “free shipping”. Down 5 places since 2026-09-26, now #21. Check what shipped around then, and what moved above you.
- One page off on “local pickup”. #11 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Very good plugin, which works very well even with the free option and includes many of the most commonly needed features.

I’ve been using the free version of this plugin, and it completely meets my needs. I was looking for a way to hide the free shipping option until a specific subtotal is reached in one country, and once that threshold is met, display a different shipping method while hiding the previous one. While I encountered some challenges with the configuration initially, the support team went above and beyond to help me resolve the issues. We exchanged multiple emails, and they provided detailed guidance through videos and screenshots. Thanks to their dedication, everything now works perfectly. Highly recommend this plugin!

Tried the free version, didn’t work. It’s so locked down you can’t setup proper conditions. More importantly, it only found product of all my products to attempt to apply the rule too.

Nice plugin, easy to use. It does its job well done. It has an unnecessary “Upgrade” link in menu that can be annoying to your website and admin users.

This plugin is very simple to use and gives quite a lot for being a free one. Thank you for your hard work!
