Biggest opportunity: Swap “shipping” and “shipping rates” for “print on demand” and “dropshipping plugin”. “shipping” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “print on demand” sits at #11 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “shipping rates” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “dropshipping plugin” 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 →2.8%
of downloads still active
At least 50K of 1.8M lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,166 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 1 release 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| printful your tag | #1 | #4 | 0 |
| drop shipping your tag | #11 | #16 | down 3 |
| print on demand | #11 | #11 | down 2 |
| dropshipping plugin | #15 | #13 | down 1 |

| shipping rates your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| woocommerce your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
33 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 4 listed. 29 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- Swap “shipping” and “shipping rates” for “print on demand” and “dropshipping plugin”. “shipping” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “print on demand” sits at #11 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “shipping rates” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “dropshipping plugin” sits at #15 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “drop shipping”. #11 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Have lost connection with the shop several times and needed to reconnect.Product sync is awful and often fails with a timeout message before any timeout settings have been reached, Web server shows no errors yet Printful errors

Si tu tienda online está en más de un idioma OLVÍDATE de instalar este plugin: no es compatible con plugins como Polylang y aparte el soporte técnico de Printful no da soluciones porque según ellos el problema lo deben solucionar otros; los de Polylang, Woocommerce, etc. Esa fue la respuesta que me dieron después de pasar días esperando. Aparte, leyendo otras reseñas, no piensan hacer actualizaciones del plugin.

Simple plugin. We’ve used this for a lot of our clients. Printful makes it easy to set up, and we’ve never had any issues with it. Now we just need to make some cool designs to sell, but the tools to sell are working great! 🙂

I’ve been using this plugin for years and have installed it on almost 10 different shops and it’s worked perfectly for me each time. It just occurred to me today that people are going to look at the bad reviews and think it’s not working. It’s actually an awesome tool and makes it easy to sell. I love that it takes care of the shipping calculations for me. That’s one of the hardest parts for me to set up on other eCommerce shops, but Printful makes it easy. Over the last 10 years I haven’t had any issues with plugin conflicts or store synchs, etc. I’ve been looking at some of these other reviews and after my experience with so many different installs, I’m convinced that they probably struggle with other simple things, or they’re a plant from some other commerce system…because Printful makes it easy. They even have a step by step how to with a video. Not sure how people are getting it wrong. Thanks Printful for the awesome plugin and service!

When asked if there were any updates planned for the plugin: Hey! Thank you for your question! Currently, there are no plans to update our WooCommerce integration. Printful on Reddit.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Christophe2.1y ago
For me everything works. I haven’t updated Woocommerce to version 9 because Prinful has to update its plugin to be compatible with Woocommerce 9xx. Pay attention to this, it’s important 🙂
