Biggest opportunity: Swap “cart abandonment”, “woocommerce” and “chat widget” for “woocommerce automation”, “web push” and “multichannel”. “cart abandonment” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “woocommerce automation” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “woocommerce” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “web push” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “chat widget” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #20. “multichannel” 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 →1.6%
of downloads still active
At least 8K of 505.8K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,141 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 13 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.

The plugin is easy to setup and the only time I had to ask for assistance for a translating question, I got an answer in less than a day. I got myself the woocommerce option, which is practical to automatically update people when some products are on sales + automatically send a notification after abandonned cart. Got a few clients back that way!
