Biggest opportunity: Swap “order” for “signature pad”. “order” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “signature pad” sits at #15 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 100 of 10.9K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,170 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.

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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| order signature your tag | #13 | #19 | up 2 |
| signature pad | #15 | #8 | 0 |
| customer signature your tag | #24 | #19 | — |
| order your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| signature your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| woocommerce your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
4 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 3 listed. 1 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- Swap “order” for “signature pad”. “order” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “signature pad” sits at #15 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “order signature”. #13 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

It’s a shame that a plugin with so much potential is not compatible with many themes and plugins. You just have to checkout and theme store , hopefully it will work. I am very sorry

The lite version of this plugin is a great stop-gap for our requirements. We are currently using this for clients to virtually sign waivers. We initially had an issue with the plugin, as it wouldn’t allow our clients to sign in white (dark mode website) but we contacted support and they were happy to help solve the issue. However, it required a significant amount of effort and communication on my end to reach a resolution. The developers said they may release this as a feature in the future which is great news. Thank you devs!

I don’t understand how this plugin has no more active installations. From the moment it is installed it works perfectly. Nice to have found it. Thanks for sharing it with us!

As of January 12, 2018 works with the latest version of WordPress and Woocommerce. The plugin author is super responsive and the plugin works flawlessly!

The new version 1.1 plugin works great with Woocommerce. Great plugin for a simple signature on WC checkout. Developer was very helpful in updating the plugin for compatibility to latest version after old one did not work. This topic was modified 8 years, 6 months ago by riaanjvrm. Reason: developer updated plugin
