Biggest opportunity: Add “product options”, “drop down” and “formula” to your wp.org tags. You rank #7, #18 and #20 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.

At least 3K of 36.4K 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.

I mailed the developer regarding the issue I’m getting because of my custom development code conflicting with the plugin code, and he helped me to resolve it with continuous mail support. Kudos to development and support part.

The options are fine for a simple product. You can use the primary image. But if you are using any variations that require images, though no price differentials needed, none can be added to the options format. Hence no variation swatches that could be moused over/clicked on to represent selections. And this doesn’t work with wp variation product settings. Use only if you have very few variations.
