Biggest opportunity: Add “orders”, “work orders” and “clubs” to your wp.org tags. You rank #6, #6 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 7K of 175.2K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,772 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized 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 3 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.

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.

The plugin worked seemlessly!

Using it on barkshiredog.com and worked out of the box as expected!
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ ralphmozzi1.7y ago
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
