Biggest opportunity: Swap “payment”, “payments” and “paypal” for “buy now”, “buy” and “braintree”. “payment” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “buy now” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “payments” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “buy” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “paypal” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “braintree” sits at #13 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up.

How it's measured →1.1%
of downloads still active
At least 5K of 468.3K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Payments plugin keeps 1.0%, across 1,042 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Payments 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 28 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.
