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.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| packages your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| shipping your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| woocommerce your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
0 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Release cadence
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

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.”

the best plugin for this usage ! thank’s a lot !!!!!

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!
