Biggest opportunity: “e commerce” and “ecommerce” 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.

of downloads still active
At least 10K of 1.6M lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,176 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 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.

Had some problems with KCO with my used theme, got fast, concise and great help from Krokedil’s support. What would take me a month of work with little knowledge in coding, they helped me with in under an hour. Real lifesavers! Thanks!

Seit Jahren immer das gleiche Problem. Die Bestellungen werden nie aktiviert wenn die verschickt und abgeschlossen sind. Es werden in Klarna nicht automatisch aktualisiert. Wir haben zu spät gemerk und viel Geld verloren. Unglaublich.

I like the design and credibility it adds to my site. Connecting this with the add-ons for Klarna makes the customer journey more smooth and easy for us to complete the order. Had some problems which was caused by a plug in, asked both Klarna and the developer Krokedil for help. Their response was swift, professional and helpful. Thank you!

Why?? the button is there but it doesn’t work. Please fix this, you should work as the rest of payment systems, like stripe for example, integrate inside the woocommerce checkout to avoid more customization, and people want choices.
