Biggest opportunity: Swap “donation”, “fundraising” and “charity” for “receipt”, “receipts” and “donor”. “donation” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “receipt” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “fundraising” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “receipts” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “charity” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #24. “donor” sits at #20 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 100 of 16.8K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,766 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized 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 15 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.

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.

What to do about it
- Swap “donation”, “fundraising” and “charity” for “receipt”, “receipts” and “donor”. “donation” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “receipt” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “fundraising” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “receipts” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “charity” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #24. “donor” sits at #20 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 “mollie”. #11 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

What a great plugin for donations. For single as well as recurring donations it works great. Perfect connection with Mollie as well, and its for FREE! Also the support and service of Michael Iseard is super professional and fast. I would highly recommend this plugin if you use WordPress in combination with Mollie and searching for a free solution.Kees van RengsThe Holy Beans

This plugin is by far the best plugin that uses Mollie as a payment processor. It’s easy to use and provides both one-time and recurring donations, which is an important feature for us. Furthermore, we have received excellent support on a number of customizations that we have requested. Mike is responsive, professional and very helpful. Well done and thank you so much for making it free! It means a lot for start-up non-profit foundations like ours.

Exactly what our foundation needed. Looks great, works great and support is very quick to respond. Thank you for offering this plugin for free!
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ gwoman5.6y ago
Very satisfied with the plugin and the support on the forum. Had another donation form before, but somehow the recurrent donations weren’t as easy to enable. Kudos Donations has all of the options!
