How it's measured →2.8%
of downloads still active
At least 100 of 3.6K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Payments plugin keeps 1.0%, across 1,042 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| planet | #1 | #4 | 0 |
| planet pay your tag | #1 | #3 | 0 |
| blik your tag | #14 | #17 | up 2 |
| apple pay your tag | #24 | #22 | 0 |
| google pay your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| payments your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
7 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 4 listed. 3 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 2 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- One page off on “blik”. #14 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- “google pay” and “payments” 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.
- Already on top for “planet”. #1 without listing it. A tag would change little there; your slots are better spent on a search you don't yet win.

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.

What its installed base runs
via wordpress.orgShare of active installs on each version of this plugin · 83% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.
Estimated active installs
The public count shows “100+”. Our estimate pins where the real number sits.
Crossed into this band 2 months ago and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just over 100.
At the current install trend, crossing 200+ in roughly 636 days.

Wtyczka darmowa – to już plus. Intuicyjna konfiguracja i działanie. Sprawnie działająca i obsługująca tryb test i produkcja. Wspomniano tutaj o wsparciu technicznym – nie tylko szybki support, ale też wyskoki poziom wsparcia. Sama wtyczka zachęciła mnie do przejścia z płatnościami od konkurencyjnego dostawcy płatności, gdzie wtyczki robione są przez zewnętrznych dostawców. Tu jest na miejscu i od ręki 🙂

Wtyczka Planet Pay spełnia swoje zadanie – integracja przebiegła bez komplikacji, a płatności działają stabilnie. Interfejs jest prosty i zrozumiały, co ułatwia konfigurację. Doceniam też to, że wsparcie techniczne szybko odpowiada na pytania. Jak na darmową wtyczkę – bardzo solidny poziom.
