Biggest opportunity: Swap “checkout” for “method”. “checkout” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “method” sits at #23 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 8.4K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,175 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 1 release 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.

It’s working great, but payment operators takes also its fee from shipping costs which clients have to pay too. So I changed at file checkoutfee.php from: $originalNumber = WC()->cart->get_cart_contents_total(); to: $originalNumber = WC()->cart->get_cart_contents_total() + WC()->cart->get_shipping_total(); and it’s now adding to the fee the shipping costs – so working now as I wanted 🙂 Greetings!

It does it’s work and for free! I made it with it. Ads in brackets the percentage you set e.g.”(2%)” to the title that customers read. It’s % of the products in the order (does not include the shipping fee).An idea for future versions might be adding: “fixed amount” fee option to make the % fee from the total (so that includes also the shipping) Option to set fees to turned off payment methods (as PayPal stays turned off for currencies that it does not support but still works for the non-default currencies that the website supports) Thanks a lot to the Vipe team for that plugin! It saved me 150 USD for other plugins at least…

Very easy to install and it works. But….I would rather work with a fixed amount, is that possible in future? gr Linda
