Biggest opportunity: Swap “payment gateway” and “conditional payments” for “methods” and “margins”. “payment gateway” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “methods” sits at #14 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “conditional payments” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #18. “margins” sits at #16 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

3.4%

of downloads still active

At least 5K of 148.1K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,182 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 wanted to make the payment method for cheap products different than for the more expensive products. This plugin is doing the job very good!

    I tried to add two products that would not support a few payment options. It didn’t work. Then I set up categories (Per Product Categories) and this option worked exactly as I wanted.

    Zero documentation and not working. Besides, if you want to enable this per product, you must upgrade to a paid pro version. Will find something else that does actually work.
