Biggest opportunity: Swap “payment gateway” and “payments” for “open banking” and “banking”. “payment gateway” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “open banking” sits at #13 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “payments” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “banking” sits at #15 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 →6.0%
of downloads still active
At least 10K of 165.7K 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 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.

This is a worst plugin. Multiple failure transactions that affects your reputation, business and leads to financial loss. Sometimes (4 times out of 10) it works and sometimes shows error “ERROR Failed to ingest event: ResponseCode: 400 Code: Message: Bad Request – Api Mapping Not Found”. When I complained to PhonePe they did not respond and said that there are some illegal activity and put our payment on hold and suspended our services but never solved this technical issue. Do not go for it.

Dear team, We also using razorpay, if both the plugin is active then only razorpay works. If i disable razorpay plugin, then only phonepe option shows in the checkout page, else only razorpay option shows. Please resolve it. Else we can’t use your gateway. Also you didn’t updated your plugin, due to this we are getting compatibility issues with other plugins. Kindly resolve. This topic was modified 1 year, 8 months ago by arasu.

Plugin working perfectly, using on 5+ sites, just some issues like generating error logs on every page load, apart from that the customer usability is working fine. Very less payments drop as compared to payumoney and razorpay.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ lmarak2.3y ago
Their merchant login and dashboard doesn’t work, neither do their payment gateway, not sure if they are jn business or not. No way to check if you received payments or get settlements. If you receive payments through this PG your money is just lost. Best use other PG even if you need to pay higher charges like razorpay.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ preshit2.6y ago
This plugin is extremely nascent and lacks several essential features. Something as simple as the option to customize the Title & Description of the payment gateway shown on the frontend is missing. The plugin also stops working if other PG plugin such as Razorpay is installed and activated (even if it’s disabled). So weird. Additionally, the PhonePe Payment Gateway service itself is very poor in its performance. Several payments fail for unexplained “technical” issues, customers see random errors like “Receiver’s payment server is busy” and connections are dropped randomly. Lastly, their Customer Support experience is terrible. The support staff is either untrained or ignorant, and conversations with them often leave you frustrated. Their replies are canned, and often go in circles. AVOID!
