Biggest opportunity: “ecommerce” and “payment” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

of downloads still active
At least 400 of 17.6K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,178 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 2 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 |

Bad service! Everything is colorfully painted what and how to connect, but there is no information anywhere about how you will then withdraw your money, if at all possible. I do not advise you to use such services, they only do what they lure sellers.

I don’t recommend it. The Chinese system where there is no technical support and honest tariffs.

Payssion gave me access to a number of payment methods that are hard for me to setup as I am outside of the relevant country – eg for the Philippines market, I could use their Dragonpay plugin to access payments made to local banks/gcash etc. For Brazil, I can offer Boleto payment without having a BR bank account. Their support have always been reasonable and any issues dealt with by their tech team

Sign-up process is absurd. Search for Gcash in plugins listing and you will see a lot of better rates with excellent sales, support and service.

I was looking for a simple and reliable gateway plugin for an e-commerce website based in Russia (where Stripe doesn’t work). Payssion is listed amongst few other plugins. So, I’ve installed the plugin and tried to understand how it works. I have created an account on payssion.com, created an “app” in order to get credentials… then, nothing. So, I have sent an email to their support, in order to go ahead and also to know their price (because of course it’s not for free). Got an answer 4 days later. – Impossible to get any information about their costs. Instead of that, I got a Chinese guy from Payssion who asks me by email stupid questions about what I want to sell and where, then they will tell me how much they charge (wtf). – Then, he explains they don’t do payouts to Russia (?) but they can open a bank account for me in another country. Run away!!!!! This topic was modified 5 years, 11 months ago by allenleyaouanc.

i installed the payssion plug-in, activated at payssion website, put the api key and secret key but at the check-out i have never seen payssion, so my question is “how can i use payssion?” if it is not showing in the check-out.

I finally can accept money on website. It is to hard to get merchant account from others. Only bad thing in plugin is available payment methods. Some is available but not working, some I think (but not sure) not process online money directly and someone not available thought plugin… Thank you.

not so good, if the stripe accept so many payment method as this plugin, that would be awesome!
