Biggest opportunity: Swap “product builder” for “preview”. “product builder” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #23. “preview” sits at #10 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 →1.2%
of downloads still active
At least 2K of 162.9K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,174 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 21 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.

What to do about it
- Swap “product builder” for “preview”. “product builder” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #23. “preview” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

Great Plugin we’ve been using it for years now.

Great plugin with great support.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ chutcheson11.2y ago
Really like this configurator. Had some trouble in the beginning but Marc helped me through my issues. Great support from him and proactive help and advice to use some of advanced features. I am using several of the add ins including central price lookup which is important for us. We are deploying this to a group of 50 different platforms with 130 components so lots of work. Everyone likes it!

We highly customized Marc’s configurator plugin and are very happy with it. Definatley the best plugin for complex product configurators
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ bensita2.1y ago
I already used a lot of plugins to customize WooCommerce products and this is an amazing plugin that will help you create a great user experience, and it´s free! I think you need some addons for variable products but to be honest, this is one of the best alternatives that I know to this day.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ audiosteps2.2y ago
We tried out a few plugins before. As we need it for various product categories, it was always associated with compromises. The plugin can be used with almost unlimited flexibility, especially with the add-ons, the performance is very good – also with 1000s of conditions – and the support, which we needed for the first time today, was first class – without asking whether we have premium add-ons. If you can integrate AR options in the future, it would be a dream. Thank you Marc for your great work
