Biggest opportunity: “invoice barcode”, “order barcode plugin” and “packing slip barcode” 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 100 of 5.1K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,167 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.

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ thenotenetwork1.4y ago
I have been searching and searching for a barcode plugin that allows a user to simply scan a barcode that relates to the order using the WooCommerce app. I found a lot that of other plugins require additional software, clunky camera apps or charge small businesses an arm and a leg just to get a simple barcode on their orders. Although the barcode is just a copy of the order number, someone with their phone can use a barcode scanner as part of their keyboard input, and bring up the order using WooCommerce and mark it as complete. It won’t let you mark off individual products within an order. For my current uses this would be nice to have but not necessary and I can still run my business just fine without it. It’s a shame that Mascot Developers website is for sale and they don’t seem to be active after about 3-4 years ago because this is a really good plugin!

The plugin is easy to use and exactly doing what I expected it to do. The support is amazing and very hands on.
