Biggest opportunity: Swap “shortcode”, “woocommerce” and “qrcode” for “master”, “code generator” and “qr”. “shortcode” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “master” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “woocommerce” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “code generator” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “qrcode” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #22. “qr” sits at #11 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →2.6%
of downloads still active
At least 400 of 15.5K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,141 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 3 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 “shortcode”, “woocommerce” and “qrcode” for “master”, “code generator” and “qr”. “shortcode” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “master” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “woocommerce” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “code generator” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “qrcode” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #22. “qr” sits at #11 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 “qr code”. #12 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

served it function as advertised. keep up the good work guys.

The plugin claims to generate dynamic qr codes but that is not the case. Furthermore when I requested a refund, I have been nearly insulted and they simply closed my account on their ticket system. Be careful, you can get these functionalities from any free qr code generator so keep your money and use a better plugin like “Kaya QR Code Generator”!
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Dennis Bareis3.3y ago
The pro version looks to have most of the features you’d want and has a relatively cheap lifetime licence. It would appear that at least for my purposes the free version is not useful as it is very limited and doesn’t provide shortcode support. I like to try the free versions of many plugins before selection so that rules me out for this one. I will (at least for now) continue to use the “Kaya QR Code Generator” plugin.
