How it's measured →0.9%
of downloads still active
At least 200 of 22.7K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,181 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 4 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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| flash sale your tag | #5 | #12 | down 3 |
| schedule sales your tag | #9 | #23 | — |
| sale your tag | #13 | #22 | 0 |
| for sale | #23 | #24 | down 1 |
| sales your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| woocommerce your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
9 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 4 listed. 5 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 2 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- One page off on “sale”. #13 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- “sales” isn't earning a slot. You list it, but you're not in the first 24 results for that search. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

This plugin (and all the PW plugins) works great. The free version is fantastic for basic sales, and the paid plugin is wonderful as well. It’s SUPER easy to set up, sales are totally set-it-and-forget-it. It took me about 20 minutes from activation to having a FULL YEAR of sales scheduled out perfectly. Amazing. Paired with their BOGO plugin, it’s even better. I recommend these plugins to all of my ecommerce clients.

Currently using this on a couple of sites. Plugin does exactly what is claims to do. Interface is nice and easy. Worth paying for the premium plugin pack that includes Bulk Edit and a couple of others.

I found this plugin while searching for help on Woo Sale date and time (or lack of time)issue. Downloaded and had it working in a couple minutes. This free version will only put everything on sale. But I have no problems buying the full version in the morning after my final test is complete. Great thing is that products that were manually put on sale in Woo will revert back to the price after this plugin expire time has past. As a previous post stated that the interface is a little crude and they advertise themselves. If you are developing for someone else write your own. But if you are a small company and just need something that works. This is it. This topic was modified 7 years, 8 months ago by dsdewitt.

This plugin works well but is blatantly self promoting. It installs a crude main menu item called “Pimwick Plugins” in which is the paid item and upsell link to others. For a paid plugin, that’s extremely crass and we’re unlikely to recommend to commercial clients on that basis. This topic was modified 8 years, 4 months ago by Anonymous User 14583327.
