Biggest opportunity: “cart”, “e commerce” and “ecommerce” 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 10 of 18.6K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,161 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.
High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 10+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.4.34, well behind 6.8.

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.

Directory rank
Ranked about #30,400 to #44,800, alongside the other plugins at 10+ installs. Plugins with the same install count swap places between wp.org requests, so this is where most of them sit. Checked monthly, last on 1 Nov 2026.
Update activity
Downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites.
Not enough installs to measure. This needs at least 100 active sites; below that, a handful of downloads reads as tens of thousands.
Release cadence
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

I just installed the key and added a widget to the sidebar and BAM! in business

Easy to install and easy to customize. I use it for automotive applications.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ stevengoodbread11.1y ago
The best UI for managing a store I have ever seen. There is a lot of functionality built in for product management and an incredibly helpful notes/CRM management section. I have not yet seen a better solution out there on the web.

This has SO much functionality that it can be a little hard to set up but these guys actually answer the phone and helped me get everything going. Once set up it just works.

This took a little time to configure (probably because it has a lot of functionality like CRM etc) but it works WAY better than anything else I tried.
