Biggest opportunity: Add “orders”, “phone number” and “sold out” to your wp.org tags. You rank #7, #7 and #8 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 4 listed these are the slots worth spending.

of downloads still active
At least 1K of 96.2K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,155 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 9 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.

Not only is this plugin amazing and full of features, but the support is the best I’ve ever seen. Support responds quickly and goes the extra mile to resolve every issue.

Excellent plugin with fast and helpful support. If you are still using the built-in WooCommerce order creation and editing tools, you need to get this plugin.

The plugin works great, and the tech support is just amazing. Special thanks to Alex!

I was looking for this for a long time. If you want to take an order over the phone, without all the hassle of trying to keep your inventory in synch, this is the one for you. Lets you create an order, send it over to your customer, and have them pay for it in a couple of clicks. Love it.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ dsawyers5.0y ago
The default admin order feature leaves a lot to be desired. We have a very complicated store with custom shipping packaging for items that ship from multiple warehouses and woocommerce dynamic pricing, the default admin ordering doesn’t do anything of that but this one does it all (I tested the free version and I’m recommending the pro version for the pause and restart option and pay as customer. The free plugin reculculated the dyanamic pricing and correctly used the custom shipping packaging and rules. I’m very impressed. The only part of the plugin that could be imporoved for us is that we use variations with multiple selectors and when we search for a product it only shows us the product name for each variation and doesn’t show the variation options (so it’s difficult to know which one we need to select). I’m not sure yet if the pro version fixes that, but if not, we’ll make a feature request.

This plugin is great and saves me so much time and helps keep stock up to date. Author is very quick to fix any problems.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Torchy5.4y ago
Used this in conjunction with ‘YITH Request a Quote for WooCommerce’ Works an absolute treat! Support is super speedy too. Asked to include a filter so you can’t add an order if a customer was not selected/entered (disable guest customer). Within the hour a script was provided to accommodate this. Highly recommended!
