Payment Forms for Paystack

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 82% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   Please urgently add the South Africa Rand (ZAR) as a currency option for payment. The forms are much better and cleaner than the Woo-commerce version, but I can’t use the forms as yet because I am based in ZA and I want to be able to bill in local currency.

   Hello, kindly try to update the plugin. Clients are experiencing trouble with payments. The plugin seems to be rejecting some cards and it is also taking too long to load the payment portal. It also sends a message that you can’t customise automatically to clients that attempts to make payments even if you disable send notifications. I don’t recommend this for download.
