of downloads still active
At least 70 of 6.3K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 4,873 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.

Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.

Est. annual revenue
Est. acquisition value
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 small install base leaves thin data to model from. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.
