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

What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.

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.

    Fantastic to have this back. It’s a mystery why it was removed in WooCommerce 3. Much appreciated! This topic was modified 8 years, 8 months ago by patboran.

    I was really missing this after the upgrade to WooCommerce 3. I relied on this feature to quickly scan orders and see who ordered what so I’m glad I can do this again. Thank you!

    Works perfectly! Not sure why woocommerce decided to remove that column, it was superuseful. Glad this plugin gets it back. This topic was modified 9 years, 1 month ago by dpacmittal.

    I understand how removing this from WooCommerce 3.0 improved the “theoretical” speed and performance, but it sure made it a pain for those of us that relied on the column for a quick overview of sales. Thank you so much for implementing this plugin, it works just like what we were used to!
