Biggest opportunity: Swap “flip” and “hover” for “arrows” and “rotation”. “flip” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “arrows” sits at #17 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “hover” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “rotation” sits at #19 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 2K of 15.7K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,178 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 2 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.

Does just what it says! I like how it also makes good use of filters and actions so you can hook in and control the output. Recommended!

Le plugin est très léger et à l’air bien. Mais il ne fonctionne pas dans la boutique. L’effet se fait uniquement dans les pages d’archives autre que la page boutique. Dommage. Si ce bug est réparé je serais heureuse de pouvoir l’utiliser de nouveau.
