Biggest opportunity: Swap “discount” for “paging”. “discount” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “paging” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 2K of 64.1K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,185 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 2 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.

What to do about it
- Swap “discount” for “paging”. “discount” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “paging” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

It worked for me
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Mr_Coder5.3y ago
This plugin NOT working with Polylang (Polylang PRO). It breaks my site: not working correctly switching to another language. Even if I don’t have translated (to another language) version of the page for discounts, it breaks links and URL’s: not working cart and checkout pages (for different language). When I switch to different language, and then press to cart button it redirects me to broken shop page, also if I click checkout button. This makes me mad, because I like the plugin…

Does not work on my popular WordPress theme. On Sale products display for a few seconds, then they are replaced with ‘all’ products.
