Biggest opportunity: “packages”, “shipping” 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.

of downloads still active

At least 600 of 30.5K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,142 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.

    Great concept, but is no longer compatible with Woocommerce. While this plugin is activated, your cart page will display the following message, “There has been a critical error on this website.”

    I’m not sure if this is supposed to work this way, but the multiple packages are shown to the right of the products in the cart which doesn’t do anything but confuse customers as to what shipping methods are for what products. Furthermore, when you start the checkout process it combines both without any indication as to what product is being shipped at what rate, making it even more confusing for the customer. If that’s how it’s supposed to be then I’m baffled as to why someone would want to do that. I’m using the block checkout so perhaps it’s a bug in the newer layout. I give it 3 stars because technically it does what it claims to do, but it’s execution isn’t done well.

    No support responses on wordpress.org. I’ll be happy to change this rating to 5 stars if they simply respond.

    So unbelievably useful, WooCommerce is selling $99 plugins that don’t do as much as this does, and the UI didn’t have me pulling my hair out either. Thanks so much for this!
