Biggest opportunity: Swap “order manager”, “shipping manager” and “woocommerce” for “thermal printer”, “jigoshop” and “connector”. “order manager” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “thermal printer” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “shipping manager” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “jigoshop” sits at #13 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. “connector” sits at #23 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 →0.4%
of downloads still active
At least 200 of 46.5K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,149 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 8 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.

Great plugin, but they cannot seem to make one simple update to make it work with Sequential orders pro

I have been using this plugin for a few years now and it works perfectly for our woocommerce/shipworks set up. I have had a couple times where I needed integration support and Olivier went beyond to assist me resolving the issues. Cant say enough about the customer support that comes with this plugin.

If you use Shipworks and WooCommerce, you can stop your search here. This plugin offers all the features you need, and the support is nothing less than fantastic. The monthly subscription price is more than reasonable, and bugs are always fixed quickly between WooCommerce/Shipworks updates. We have been happy with this plugin for well over 1 year, it’s the integration we require to keep our businesses running smoothly. 10 stars.

We are using Shipworks connector 3.8.8 for our site bumpboxes.com We would like to send some additional custom message from the woocommerce order to the shipworks. I was told that it will be easy. Where would i start.

Now over 3 years later we had an issue with our shipping. Olivier again went above and beyond to help us out. Olivier found the problem that turned out not to be the extension at all. He worked with us, diagnosed the problem and we were able to correct the issue because of his expertise and help. We couldn’t ask for more. Not only does the plugin work well, but when an issue there was an issue during installation the developer corrected it right then! We also required some extra programming and that too ws done promptly. Excellent service, excellent plugin. Now almost a year after installation We made changes to our site that could have created issues. Oliver made adjustments for us within an hour and our order process continued uninterupted. Thank you!

Awesome Plugin… You saved me when IgniteWoo’s Shipwork’s/woocommerce integration failed on my latest setup for a very important client! Easiest Set-Up, Ever.

I bought this plugin, in hopes of integrating my new woocommerce platform into my existing setup, which uses shipwroks. I ran into a few snags, because of settings I messed up on my server. I contacted support and they went WAY above and beyond responding at all hours of the day and night until my problem was resolved. Amazing Plugin, Amazing Support, Amazing!
