PayPal Payment Buttons

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 · 88% 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.

At the current install trend, crossing 500+ in roughly 58 days.

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.

   Just added Paypal payments button to my site. Setup was very easy took less than 5 minutes. Surprisingly no need to have WooCommerce installed like some other plugins. Several button customization options available. No effect on site speed. 🙌🏻

   I got the buttons up and running in a few minutes, great for one-off sales or donations. They’re reliable and easy to setup.
