Biggest opportunity: Swap “credit card” and “gateway” for “official” and “paylater”. “credit card” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “official” sits at #18 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “gateway” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “paylater” sits at #19 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →2.0%
of downloads still active
At least 4K of 204K 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 10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| payplug your tag | #1 | #1 | 0 |
| official | #18 | #20 | up 2 |
| paylater | #19 | #13 | down 1 |
| e visa | #11 | #16 | down 1 |
| credit card your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| gateway your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| payment your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| woocommerce your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
28 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 4 listed. 24 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- Swap “credit card” and “gateway” for “official” and “paylater”. “credit card” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “official” sits at #18 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “gateway” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “paylater” sits at #19 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

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.

Très bon PSP, le taux de conversion en tout cas sur les clients FR est nettement supérieur a ce qu’on trouve par ailleurs.

Impossible de connecter le compte depuis la dernière mise à jour, nos paiements sont bloqué et met en péril notre activité !, c’est un truc de dingue, le support téléphone ne répond pas, a l’agence : on ne sais pas ce que c’est “payplug”.Le support email répond a côté de la plaque …Bref, on va passer à la concurrence plus rapidement que prévu …

Solution de paiement validée et adoptée dans la foulée. This topic was modified 3 years ago by uloz.

Solution de paiement simple à installer, facile à configurer et à utiliser. J’apprécie l’ajout récent de nouvelles méthodes de paiement acceptées (Amex, applepay, bancontact).

Plugin rapide à configurer et complet. Beaucoup plus agréable que la plupart des solutions bancaires et moins contraignant que les principales plateformes de paiement américaines dans la configuration.

Les promesses sur le papier sont plutôt pas mal. Malheureusement, comparé à Stripe, nous avons eu énormément d’échecs de paiement. Le support explique que les débits sont refusés par les banques des clients… Retour à Stripe et le taux de conversion remonte. Dommage…
