WooCommerce Buy Now Button makes your customers' checkout process easier and faster.
Try it live opens a temporary test site in your browser, which can take about 20 seconds to load. Plugins that rely on outside services or a full server may not work completely there.
Install count doesn't reflect chosen adoption
50K+ installs but only 10 reviews: about 2.0 per 10,000 installs, where plugins people pick from the directory typically sit above 10. The install count also held flat for months and then climbed several tiers within weeks, the shape of a distribution change rather than organic adoption. Install bases built through bundling or preinstallation look like this. That is a legitimate way to ship software, but it means the install count says little about how many users chose this plugin.
Not a judgment of the plugin itself. We keep it off install-based leaderboards because the count isn't a popularity signal here.

Biggest opportunity: Swap “woocommerce direct checkout” for “quick checkout”. “woocommerce direct checkout” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #16. “quick checkout” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 50K of 187.4K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,167 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 8 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.

What to do about it
- Swap “woocommerce direct checkout” for “quick checkout”. “woocommerce direct checkout” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #16. “quick checkout” sits at #4 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 “woocommerce direct checkout”. #16 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
