Biggest opportunity: Swap “woocommerce order status” for “hpos compatible”. “woocommerce order status” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #17. “hpos compatible” sits at #5 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 →2.3%
of downloads still active
At least 2K of 85.1K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Email & Marketing plugin keeps 0.9%, across 1,297 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Email & Marketing 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.

I use it only for “Order Status” and it works fine. Thank you
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ jasonthegreek3.3y ago
Checking if there are any plans to enable HTML emails for custom order status where an email is sent to the customer. Or ability to use database fields/tags to insert customer name, product, etc. Even if it is with a paid version. Thanks!

I use your plugin and thank you very much! But I ran into difficulties: 1.Right now the status slug is a dash that cannot be edited. It seems to me that making this field editable is easy? Now all states have slug “-“. Therefore, only 1 new state is visible in the list. 2. I need to send emails when a product goes into custom status. Can you add such functionality? (Woocommerce->Settings->Emails) With these improvements, the plugin will be perfect: convenient and understandable. I really hope for an update soon.

I tried another addon first that was so complicated and messed up my emails, this one was so easy to setup since all i needed was a custom status text, 5/5 great plugin.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ ologram5.1y ago
The plugin does what it says, ou can create custom order statuses, which are more like labels, because they aren’t recognized by woocommerce. So they don’t show on the app, and they don’t show on the hyperlinks above the order dashboard neither. So your only way of knowing how many orders you have on each custom status, is to see the plugin’s dashboard, which I don’t like.
