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.
What its installed base runs
via wordpress.orgShare of active installs on each version of this plugin · 94% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Est. annual revenue
Est. acquisition value
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.

Even the PRO Version doesn’t work. Made me loose money, with all the refunds I have to give back to my customers. Author is not interested in giving me a refund and making fun of me and my company on Codecanyon. auf Wiedersehen

It presented a notice on the checkout page: Notice: WC_Cart->taxes is deprecated since version 3.2! Use getters (WC_Cart::get_cart_contents_taxes()) and setters (WC_Cart::set_cart_contents_taxes()) instead. in /www/wwwroot/fineprovisions/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3853

It doesn’t work. The currency is not converted. It just passes the amount (no matter of which currency it is) to Paypal which is obviously inaccurate.

This plugin used to work previously on my website, but no longer does. When I try to activate the Paypal payment gateway I can’t, as it states that Paypal does not support my store currency of Rands. Have even paid someone to try troubleshoot this, but still does not work. Please urgently advise?
