Biggest opportunity: Swap “audio” and “shop” for “wordpress ecommerce” and “store credit”. “audio” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “wordpress ecommerce” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “shop” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “store credit” sits at #13 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 →0.1%
of downloads still active
At least 200 of 206.1K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,140 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 24 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.

I’m very happy with this plugin and the developer. It didn’t have everything I wanted because I have some unuaual needs, so I ask for some custom development. It was done cheap and the same day. I was amazed. Furthermore, I needed some help with what I thought would be another customization, and asked for a quote. Instead, I got a recommendation for another plugin that solved my problem, and Mike even sat it up for me free-of-charge. This plugin works great for me! And you can’t beat the support you get from CodePeople! Wish all the developers were this good!! This topic was modified 3 months, 4 weeks ago by davej1956.

I find the Music Store plugin excellent. I’m very pleased with my purchase and really like its features. Installing tracks and albums is easy, and the shortcode’s flexibility is great. The tech support is outstanding. I highly recommend purchasing it; it’s definitely worth it.Tony

Plugin is a bit fiddly, but I guess if it was worth using, you’d figure it out. However, it is no good if you want to sell a full single, E.P or Album as it only allows 1 track per release. Not much use in the real world unless you pay for the Pro version sadly.

Love this simple but great plugin for my size company! We are using the free version and loving it. Tech support is awesome. They answered our question quickly, that was the best part. Can’t wait to upgrade and unleash the other features! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
