Biggest opportunity: “credit card”, “elementor” and “form” 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.

0.9%

of downloads still active

At least 100 of 11.6K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Page Builders plugin keeps 2.4%, across 1,266 plugins.

Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Page Builders 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 10 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.

    This plugin is excellent, but what really stands out is the customer support. Troy was incredibly helpful and solved my issues very effectively, even providing solutions through a beta version. Their responsiveness and willingness to help made a huge difference. Highly recommended!

    this was easy to setup with stripe. Stilll figuring out some fine tuning details but I was able to set up payments without issue. just make sure you use the sandbox public and private keys when you’re testing. Otherwise it will take live payments!

    I just wanted to share how impressed I am with this plugin’s support staff, particularly Troy. He was incredibly easy to approach and tirelessly went through multiple tests to find a solution to our Google Pay issue. Thanks to his dedication, we are now happily enjoying the convenience of this plugin on our website easymoveservices.com.au. Five stars all the way!

    This plugin is the perfect addition to add a payment option to your Elementor forms. Lightweight and easy to use and it meant I didn’t have to change a whole process as I could add to existing forms on the website. I had teething issues with the integration but Troy was super responsive and very helpful to get to the bottom of the issue so that it was working perfectly. Highly recommended. Thanks Troy for your support!
