Biggest opportunity: Swap “courier” for “shipping protection”. “courier” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “shipping protection” sits at #8 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 200 of 6.5K 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 9 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.

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.

I installed the plugin but it’s not working, it keeps asking me for the delivery street over and over again. A shame as I would love to use Parcel 2 Go
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ mertspacebdot7.3y ago
Poorly designed UI. Returns error when “Enable insurance” is checked. Weight is set to 0kg on quote page even though the Account Defaults are set properly. If you manage to get a quote it gives you a random Total Cost. For example; Weight/Size; 5 kg 30x40x30cm Insurance; no Postcodes; UK address to UK address Service chosen; DPD Drop Off £6.84 Total Cost displayed; £37.64 TLDR; Don’t bother or get excited. Just like “SmartSend” it is entirely useless. Stick to uploading CSV. This topic was modified 6 years, 11 months ago by mertspacebdot. Reason: star adjust
