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

5.5%

of downloads still active

At least 400 of 7.2K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,151 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 28 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.

    If you need a loyalty points plugin – this plugin is all you need! After seeing how a very well-known loyalty plugin was impacting my site’s speed, even before the site was fully operational, I decided to look for a new, similar plugin. I stumbled across this one quite by chance and thought: great reviews, but it’s still very new, should I give it a try? I’m so glad I did. This plugin does exactly what a loyalty points plugin should do, with a very simple setup, many features in the free version, and most importantly, it has absolutely no impact on website speed and requires almost no entries in the database. Is it magic? All I can say is – this is absolutely the best loyalty points plugin for WordPress!

    One of the best plugins out there for loyalty programs. UI is clean, modern and adopts to the theme. Plugin support is impressive. Had a couple of bugs initially and the fixes are implemented soon. Knowing the author whose is behind another great plugin, I hope that the standard will maintained throughout.

    This plugin did exactly what we needed. What is even more impressive is that we had some glitches, and the service we received was beyond spectacular. I have nothing but positive things to say about the plugin and service. Highly recommended!

    We’ve been looking for a replacement for the over-bloated rewards points premium plugin we’ve been using for a few years. When I saw that Elliot was releasing a new plugin for this purpose I had high hopes and high expectations because his affiliate program plugin has been amazing for many years now, with both excellent support when issues arose and also regular, excellent updates. As soon as I started using the free version of Simple Points and Rewards I could see that it was another winner and I immediately purchased a lifetime license for the Pro version.

    This plugin is FABULOUS. I’ve probably used about 3-4 different points and rewards plugins for WooCommerce over the years (including premium ones), and this one has absolutely the best interface for both end users and admins. I had high expectations based on the plugin author’s good work on the Cloudflare Turnstile plugin, but I’m seriously blown away by how good this is. It is easily the best points plugin I’ve used. The free version is so feature-rich that I don’t think I even need the PRO version (but I will probably buy it anyways, just to support the developers and reward them for making such an awesome plugin!). If you’re looking for the best points and rewards plugin for WooCommerce, you found it.
