Biggest opportunity: Swap “gateway”, “payment” and “pay” for “bancontact”, “pay by bank” and “e commerce”. “gateway” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “bancontact” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “payment” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “pay by bank” sits at #13 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “pay” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #13. “e commerce” sits at #23 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 →0.5%
of downloads still active
At least 2K of 443.4K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Payments plugin keeps 1.0%, across 1,042 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Payments 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 9 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 “gateway”, “payment” and “pay” for “bancontact”, “pay by bank” and “e commerce”. “gateway” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “bancontact” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “payment” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “pay by bank” sits at #13 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “pay” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #13. “e commerce” sits at #23 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 “pay”. #13 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Great no-code solution for accepting recurring payments with Mollie by GravityForms. Had some issue’s so contacted support. The support provided me with a solution and even gave me very helpfull tips and pointers! Definitely worth a 5 star rating! Thank you Pronamic!

I had a problem and send an email to support. In less then a hour I got a reply. After replying to the answer and asking another question I got a new answer in 15 minutes. The answers were informative and helpful. It helped me solve my problems. One of the best support I have experienced.

I reported a not so easy issue (with Ninja Forms integration) which they solved. They kept me informed of the progress. Thanks! This topic was modified 4 years, 5 months ago by Paul H.

They have fast and accurate support. (+ the plugin works well overall.) There are also things to look for at the earliest opportunity: 1- There are some bugs in the coding that we mentioned in the email support and wp forums and we hope to get an update for it soon. (Due to the sensitivity of the payment, these cases should be examined much more carefully) 2- It’s not cool to put the following notice on all admin pages! It’s better to display it only in your panel. Pronamic Pay — You have not entered a valid support license key.
