Payment Plugins for PayPal 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

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 78% 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 declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

   I have tested several PayPal plugins for WooCommerce, including the official one, and this is by far the best I have tried. We have been using it for more than a year without any issues. The support team is also very responsive. We recently had an issue with the list of carriers available for our country, and within just a few days, they were able to push a new feature to production that will benefit all users by allowing them to select the destination country and get an updated list of available couriers. Excellent plugin and excellent support. Highly recommended.

   I’d been using another PayPal plugin for many years and recently learned that it’s causing all sorts of ajax-related issues. This plugin appears to be working beautifully, with no issues. Communication via the support forum has also been great.

   I installed this plug-in a few days ago. The other PayPal plug-in for Woocommerce by PayPal was failing a few transactions. I put it down to the people using it. Then one man tried twice to pay and both transactions failed. I realised the plug-in by PayPal had something wrong with it. In the last few months, this plug-in had a brand new interface. The support forum had problems reported. So I installed this plug-in. As soon as I switched it over, the man who previously tried and failed twice to pay, made a new transaction and it worked. Since then lots of people have made transactions using this plug-in and they work. This shows that it is important to have a diversity of payment processing plug-ins written by different people. When one goes wrong, it is vital to have the choice of installing another one. I can’t thank the author of this plug-in enough.
