Biggest opportunity: Add “multi carrier” and “multi carrier shipping” to your wp.org tags. You rank #24 and #24 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 4 listed these are the slots worth spending.
Install conversion
How it's measured →2.8%
of downloads still active
At least 900 of 32.6K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,783 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| couriers please your tag | #2 | #16 | up 1 |
| australia post your tag | #15 | #24 | down 1 |
| aramex your tag | #13 | #24 | down 3 |
| multi carrier shipping | #24 | #24 | 0 |
| multi carrier | #24 | #24 | down 2 |
| aramex shipping | #15 | #24 | down 2 |
| australia post shipping | #20 | #24 | down 2 |

14 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 8 listed. 6 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 1 of its tags isn't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- Add “multi carrier” and “multi carrier shipping” to your wp.org tags. You rank #24 and #24 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 4 listed these are the slots worth spending.
- One page off on “aramex”. #13 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- One page off on “australia post”. #15 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Release cadence

set up has been a nightmare with unhelpful customer service when attempting to set up our account with WooCommerce, has been drawn out to 2 weeks back and forth with no resolution.

New orders are sent through to Shippit correctly. Haven’t had too many issues with Shippit compared to competing carrier aggregation services like Sendle. The”mark order as fulfilled in WooCommerce” feature doesn’t work, hence the 4 star rating.

Shippit is NOT just a plugin to help you manage your deliveries, it is a freight aggregator who connects you to their freight partners/carriers. This means that when you experience problems with deliveries,the carriers refuse to help you. I had a problem with a TNT delivery (damaged goods and missing goods). TNT referred me back to Shippit saying that Shippit is a customer of TNT and I am a customer of shippit, ergo, I must deal with shippit and not directly with the TNT. Herein lies the problem – Shippit refuses to help me and so does the carrier. I paid my money, the service was not delivered and yet I am the one left out of pocket (over $100 in goods and shipping fees paid) because neither party will accept responsibility for the failure. In sum, avoid Shippit and spend your money with a company who values their customers.

Installed as a plugin for Woo Unfortunately the automatic packing integration CAN’T take into account the ‘padding’ you might need to add to a box to protect the product inside i.e unlike the standalone AusPost plugin which allows you to specify both the outer dimensions of the box and the inner dimensions (which is the “padding” eg if the box was stuffed with packing peanuts to protect the goods). Spoke to support. Short answer was no. Deleted plugin. Closed account.
