Biggest opportunity: Swap “abandoned cart” and “whatsapp api” for “whatsapp notifications” and “whatsapp order”. “abandoned cart” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “whatsapp notifications” sits at #19 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “whatsapp api” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “whatsapp order” sits at #24 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 →3.7%
of downloads still active
At least 100 of 2.7K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,156 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 13 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.

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.

Simple, reliable, and effective. Everything runs smoothly, and it’s been a great addition to my WooCommerce store.

I was able to add WhatsApp integration to my WooCommerce store using this plugin. The integration process was simple. Note that it’s not a standalone plugin and you need to have an account and subscription with WANotifier to use this. They use WhatsApp API, which is good.

We’ve been looking for a WhatsApp API provider with light weight but feature rich plugin to integrate WhatsApp with our store. WANotifier delivered on that. Great product with a useful integration plugin.
