Klarna for WooCommerce

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

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.

42 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 1 listed. 41 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Crossed into this band 3 months ago and the previous band took 2.1 years to cross, so the real count is still just under 30K.

   Version 4.5.0 is absolute rubbish and should never have been released to the repository. Compatibility with WordPress 6.9 is supposedly “100%” according to the author – yeah, sure. Was this even tested? It is Friday evening and, thanks to this mess, I had to investigate the issue for a customer instead of having a pint in the pub.

   the plugin works but:1. translations / internationalisation is barely there, many buttons cannot be translated 2. it adds a s**t load to the checkout for no real purpose 3. you need a 2nd plugin for sync of order status… besides that, it’s OK.

   First of all, Klarna is already integrated into Woopayments, so this plugin is unnecessary, unless you want to waste your time and get insulted by the Klarna “onboarding team”. In just three interactions they succeeded in lying, lying again, calling me a liar and fraud. Even if you give them proof that something they claim is wrong they won’t change, and they won’t even check it out. And don’t bother using their chat, it is just AI posing as a human. Their phone support is also useless. You are stuck with mail.

   While I consider the plugin itself to be at best of mediocre quality (at least in the current state of development) the support has been very quick and helpful. I hope in the future the plugin matches their excellent support! Special thanks to Louise and Andreas! They have been very helpful!

   Pessimo. il 90% degli ordini vengono persi. Una buona percentuale può riguardare ovviamente il processo del cliente, ma quando vedi 7/8 ordini annullati al giorno su 8/9 che utilizzano klarna, ti brucia parecchio. Installati 3 PLUGIN DIVERSI PER FUNZIONARE CON TUTTI I SERVIZI. Assistenze non all’altezza, non risolvono il problema e sia per krokedil che per klarna è “tutto ok”. Per le commissioni che prende il servizio è totalmente inadeguato. Passerò quanto prima ad un altro metodo di pagamento rateale
