PRENA – Product Pre-Orders for WooCommerce

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

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 74% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   I was looking for a plugin to give customers the option to pre-order products, but also at the same time inform customers when a product would be available. This plugin does what is says beautifully.

   Product Pre-Orders for WooCommerce generates more revenue than any alternative abandoned cart plugin. Totally profitable. In addition, I’ve implemented it on multiple websites and it functions flawlessly on all of them. Thank you, VillaTheme Team!The DolphinGuy

   Works great and had all of the features I needed! I can’t imagine why anyone would not like this FREE plugin. It’s something that should be built into Woo in my opinion.

   Very rarely does a plugin do what its meant to do, and this one works incredibly well! Works well with exisiting products and more importantly gives the option to target specific variations, something Woocommerce’s own plugin fails to do. Great work by the developers!

   A simple, but elegant plugin that handles the basics (and then some) of pre-orders. I was on the verge of buying a $75 plugin that had bells-and-whistles I didn’t need (and also did some things I needed poorly) when I found this plugin.
