Biggest opportunity: Swap “cryptocurrency” for “accept bitcoin”. “cryptocurrency” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “accept bitcoin” sits at #4 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 300 of 12.1K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,153 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 1 release 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.

Tested and working Jan 2025 with the latest version of wordpress. KYC process with OpenNode is extensive and painful but once complete, this is a great plugin for accepting payments in Bitcoin and lightning. I with OpenNode provided users with a LNURL address, not having that hampers our ability to use their platform.If you want to skip the KYC nonsense, get BTCPay Server.

The OpenNode for WooCommerce plugin is a classy way to accept Bitcoin LN payments. I came across this one and I am happy that I can withdraw the funds automatically to my account. Together with the possibility to send invoices from inside the account this makes for us the perfect choice. Thanks! Digital Payments Srl

If you’re thinking about accepting bitcoin for your site, this is the plug-in to choose. This is much better than any other bitcoin plugin on WordPress because OpenNode gives me the ability to accept bitcoin instantly. I never have to worry about chargebacks – which is huge for my business. I have no tech background and was able to get this hooked up to my site in a few minutes. During the process I got mixed up with denominations and how I was pricing my products in BTC (bitcoin) but the OpenNode support chat got back to me within a few seconds to help me out. I highly recommend OpenNode for anyone thinking to accept bitcoin.
