Biggest opportunity: “check”, “pay” and “payment” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

How it's measured →0.6%
of downloads still active
At least 40 of 6.8K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Payments plugin keeps 1.0%, across 1,042 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Payments 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 6 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| seamlesschex your tag | #1 | #1 | 0 |
| echeck | #2 | #6 | up 2 |
| check your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| pay your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| payment your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| woocommerce payment your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
5 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 2 listed. 3 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- “check”, “pay” and “payment” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.
- Already on top for “echeck”. #2 without listing it. A tag would change little there; your slots are better spent on a search you don't yet win.

Directory rank
Ranked about #21,400 to #22,800, alongside the other plugins at 40+ installs. Plugins with the same install count swap places between wp.org requests, so this is where most of them sit. Checked monthly, last on 21 Oct 2026.
Update activity
Downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites.
Not enough installs to measure. This needs at least 100 active sites; below that, a handful of downloads reads as tens of thousands.
Release cadence

Estimated active installs
The public count shows “40+”. Our estimate pins where the real number sits.
Crossed into this band today and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just under 50.

if you’re looking for Seamless Chex reviews – here’s mine – they are terrible! i cancelled in March, after realizing we had an active subscription even though we never used their service. they are still billing my credit card even though they sent me “confirmation” that my account was cancelled. they were still hitting my credit card in June for like 400% the normal monthly price???? now its july and they changed it to some other random price and hit my credit card AGAIN.wtf Do not trust these people with your payment processing, let alone your billing info.This isn’t just the money. Its a huge headache and waste of time trying to get them to delete my card info and actually cancel my account.
