Pre-Orders for WooCommerce

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 73% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   Has worked great for preorders of my book launch. Integrates well with WooCommerce. A very useful feature.

   I was having trouble with this plugin, and their support team was gracious to take the time to investigate and help me, even though I’m using the free version.

   We purchased the premium version of this plugin because we needed to accept a deposit on a product that will be available on a certain date. the plugin only allows full payment at pre-order, or full-payment at shipment. there is no “deposit” capability. When pre-ordering a product, it seems like a deposit on that order would be the most basic functionality. Returned and refunded
