Biggest opportunity: Swap “woocommerce open close” and “opening time” for “store hours for woocommerce” and “close store”. “woocommerce open close” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “store hours for woocommerce” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “opening time” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #23. “close store” sits at #11 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 86.3K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,168 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.

Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Release cadence

Easy to use, works fine
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ zamaan3.3y ago
This plugin is a nice one. but very annoying stuff. That alert windows make the plugin unusable. also no any tool tip comments for options. overall because of the alert box, i just remove the plugin.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Nilpo3.4y ago
After doing a force override on store hours, you can no longer disable the option rendering the entire thing pointless. My store is now permanently closed.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Cezar Ayran5.2y ago
My store was 24 hours OPEN and just a day later I found out that the option Turn-on Force Override is enabled it’ll keep your store open no matter what schedule you set up which is fine but it should have something explaining that… This topic was modified 4 years, 10 months ago by Cezar Ayran.

….. bad update… This topic was modified 5 years, 4 months ago by adrianrus9.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ nwiseman5.7y ago
Bizswoop didn’t announce to any users of the free plugin that the latest update would effectively make all the core features of the free plugin now sit behind a paywall. On top of this they changed the free behaviour so it keeps popping up with the alert message to customers, effectively making the plugin (and your website) useless. Pretty average business practices!!! As soon as there is a competitive product to the now paid version we will be switching.
