Biggest opportunity: “price”, “variation” and “woocommerce” 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.

How it's measured →2.0%
of downloads still active
At least 2K of 98.2K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,155 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 8 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.

74 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 17 listed. 57 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- “price”, “variation” and “woocommerce” 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.
- Already on top for “jewelry”. #2 without listing it. A tag would change little there; your slots are better spent on a search you don't yet win.

This plugin simplified my work a lot. Thanks !
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ chasman1231.9y ago
Initially when using the ‘Reapply Markups’ bulk action it inadvertently changed many of the base prices of the products and I had to go through and manually change each one back. The more I used it on each different category, the better it worked. Seems to be working fine now. Mark has been great with technical support.

It won’t apply a price mark up to my color attribute and I’m not sure why.

Hi, I created some attributes in admin panel, it looks fine, but in front view when I change attributes, product price is not going to change, why? This topic was modified 2 years, 9 months ago by adriangrzybek.

Really not happy that this plugin hasn’t been updated in 9 months and is not compatible with relatively recent latest versions of WooCommerce, PHP, or WordPress. Had high hopes as I needed over 100 variations – it built the variations with no problem, but after working to set the pricing, all work disappears at some random point in time – all the variations, everything. Happened multiple times – hours of work wasted. Plugin Author – please consider fixing this. Thank you.
