Biggest opportunity: Swap “cart”, “share” and “woocommerce” for “collaborative”, “planning” and “wish list”. “cart” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “collaborative” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “share” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “planning” sits at #12 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “woocommerce” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “wish list” sits at #13 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 300 of 2.3K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,164 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 3 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.

I needed to share a cart with a customer – this plugin is very simple and does what it promises.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ mmubashar1.2y ago
I just needed a simple plugin that allows me to share cart to other users and this one does it beautifully. It even has a shortcode for easy placement. One thing it can improve is a page for store managers to be able to manage the shared carts. This will ease repetitive shared carts scenarios. For now, this works out of the box. Love it!
