Biggest opportunity: Swap “area” and “map” for “shipping zones” and “custom shipping”. “area” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “shipping zones” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “map” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “custom shipping” sits at #24 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →0.6%
of downloads still active
At least 500 of 80.8K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.3%, across 5,183 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 5 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.

What to do about it
- Swap “area” and “map” for “shipping zones” and “custom shipping”. “area” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “shipping zones” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “map” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “custom shipping” sits at #24 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

I bought the premium / paid version and support never responded. After waiting two weeks, I went with Kikote instead, as they included “drawn shipping zones” in their list of features. Kikote had better features than this plugin overall, and their support team actually responds. I am sure this plugin works for someone but it did not work for me.

Un plugin muy bueno que me permitio especificar las zonas de envíos mejor dentro de ciudades. Pero creo que debería dejar integrarse también con la API de OpenStreetMaps

The plugin works great. Highly recommended if you want to organize shipping/delivery areas at different prices. I had some problems with the configuration and contacted support. The response was very fast and professional and very effective. The technical support provided by Viktor is 5 stars! Thank you for your quick response, kindness and great work! Congratulations!

I’ve tried different plugins and this works just incredible. The bundle with address checker just makes it a killer combination. Worth every dollar.
