Biggest opportunity: Swap “payments” for “buy now pay later”. “payments” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “buy now pay later” sits at #20 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 →5.5%
of downloads still active
At least 600 of 10.9K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Payments plugin keeps 1.0%, across 1,042 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Payments 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 4 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.

Simply the best BNPL service ever witnessed, brings in good traffic to my site and increased conversion rates drastically. Very friendly service from the team. In love with the mobile app from a customer perspective, 10/10 would recommend.

Unnecessarily displays their Brand Name. All the alignment-like things on the website will be Confused. They are reluctant to change based on customer needs. After using this my website was very slow down. By using the codes they provided separately, the website became completely down. (critical error).
