Prodigy Commerce

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

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

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.

21 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 5 listed. 16 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 2 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Directory rank

Ranked about #25,300 to #28,300, alongside the other plugins at 20+ installs. Plugins with the same install count swap places between wp.org requests, so this is where most of them sit. Checked monthly, last on 21 Oct 2026.

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. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Crossed into this band yesterday and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just under 30.

   In terms of set up, it was straight forward. It’s short on features but it’s great for a starter online store

   What is it they say about things that seem to be good to be true? Yeah, that was pretty much my experience with this plugin. No monthly fees? No additional fee on top of the payment processor fee? No charge for the plugin? Sounds good, but here is what happened when I tried to use it: Prodigy will make you go through a very in-depth application process, where you will provide all kinds of information on your business to certify it is legit. Once you get through that, they will make you go through an application process with a payment processor that is even more in-depth (they don’t tell you that upfront – its the surprise that’s waiting for you.) In our case, even though we have been in business for 10+ years, regularly do business with the US government and Fortune 500, have Stripe and PayPal Pro accounts and have $1M+ in revenue, we were declined. Why? The payment processor won’t tell you. But I got an email from a Vice President at Prodigy who “felt” that it was because we provided information on our application that wasn’t “accurate” or verifiable. He wanted us to apply again with a different payment processor and this time make sure that all of our information was “accurate” and “verifiable.” Bottom line: they have no idea why your application wasn’t approved, but will assume you fudged something somewhere, I guess? Anyway, don’t bother wasting your time, I say. If we couldn’t get approved being the size business we are, I can’t imagine Mom and Pop shops faring any better. And who needs the added aggravation of the Plugin maker telling you it’s your fault? The problem is their business process which, while a great idea, isn’t ready for prime-time – it’s long, tedious and, in the end, completely opaque – even to them.

   (December 2021) This plugin DELETED all my store! STAY AWAY from it! Instead of being added as a second option to use instead of Woocommerce, after installation to try out, WIPEOUT all my products of the Woocommerce store and changed my theme to another that does not show my store products already listed. I have to do again each product in Woocommerce. My products were gone! And also, there is no way to delete a store in their service! And no way to delete your account also! So it will not exist and send you promo emails! If I can give a 0, will do! System only allowed a minimum 1!

Prodigy’s use of custom attributes can provide very unique product detail pages without relying on changes to be made in WordPress frontend. The Prodigy Commerce WordPress plugin give developers the ability to customize product templates with enough easy to ensure no two Prodigy store look the same. This platform and plugin is truly a delight for an ecommerce developer.

   I heard about Prodigy Commerce’s upcoming product about 6 months ago and I’ve been waiting… At first use, it looks as strong as hoped. WP e-commerce can be particularly insecure if close attention isn’t paid. Prodigy is the real deal here. Can’t wait to implement a solution for a customer now… This topic was modified 5 years, 3 months ago by zenkutsu.
