Biggest opportunity: Add “bnpl” to your wp.org tags. You rank #13 for it without listing it, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 4 listed it's a slot worth spending.

How it's measured →5.1%
of downloads still active
At least 5K of 98.6K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Payments plugin keeps 1.0%, across 1,043 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Payments 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 19 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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| paymob your tag | #1 | #3 | 0 |
| bnpl | #13 | #17 | 0 |
| gateway your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| payment your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| woocommerce your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
27 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 2 listed. 25 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- Add “bnpl” to your wp.org tags. You rank #13 for it without listing it, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 4 listed it's a slot worth spending.

Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.

It slows down the website. The code is not optimized and probably developed by hobbyists not professional programmers.

I’m very happy with this payment gateway. Checkout page customization is flexible and straightforward, and the built-in options are clean and user-friendly. Special thanks to the developer and support team—their hard work really shows. Just a heads-up: the latest update (version 4.0.0) introduced an issue on my site, so I temporarily reverted to 3.1.8, where everything works as expected. I’m confident a patch will address this soon, and I’ll be glad to update again once it’s resolved. Thanks again for a solid plugin!
