Biggest opportunity: Swap “donation”, “ecommerce” and “woocommerce” for “tips”, “on hold orders” and “order alert”. “donation” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “tips” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “ecommerce” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “on hold orders” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “woocommerce” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “order alert” sits at #5 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 →4.7%
of downloads still active
At least 2K of 42.5K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,155 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 3 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.

I needed to add a simple donation to the checkout. Most available plugins add a lot of unnecessary complexity, annoying top-level admin menus, or very opinionated designs.This one is simple and it does the trick.

DO NOT INSTALL THIS PLUGIN!! I thought it was a great idea to install a tip plugin on my website. But after installing this plugin my site was infected with a malware. No matter what i did I couldn’t get rid of it. This plugin was the only thing new that I installed before the malware infection took place. Luckily my hosting had daily backup and I was able to restore my website.

this plug-in does not function properly. It does not add the tip to the total and it creates fatal errors. This is not a technical support review. It is true assertion as to how this plug-in performs not well at all. This topic was modified 1 year, 6 months ago by tamika77034.

Why would you change critical variable names…? they’ve added 0 development value, it was much more dynamic before, now you’ve locked us into an unnecessary naming convention…. Broke shop operations for over 2 hours…had to turn it off. I assume “enter_tip_placeholder” became “wc_order_tip_custom_enter_tip_placeholder” ?

This is an amazing plugin, but it would be even better if we had the option of ONLY showing this when a client selects Flat-rate (delivery) as a shipping option. Right now it displays even when it’s a Local Pickup, and the tips are only needed for the driver doing the deliveries. Anyone know of a PHP conditional statement that allows only displaying on the Checkout page if the Flat-rate delivery is selected?

At first, this was the best free plugin I used to use and I received lots of money but I couldn’t control all tips in the report tip function in woocommerce. Therefore, I had to remember manually, Hoping could fix it. LOVE PLUGIN

You have outdone yourself on this plugin. You have seriously thought through all of the options and it literally needs nothing! Great job!!

I really like this plugin. It makes it super easy to allow adding tips to a customer’s order. All settings are self-explanatory, and everything works smoothly. I am using this solution to add donations to an order. You can easily change all displayed texts and captions to suit your needs.
