Biggest opportunity: “checkout customization”, “checkout fields” and “custom labels” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

of downloads still active
At least 10 of 1.4K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,146 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 10 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.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
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.

Finally a plugin that lets me edit checkout fields without messing with code! It does exactly what I needed—renamed labels, hid unnecessary fields, and made phone required. Everything works perfectly on the frontend. My only gripe is the admin interface. It’s functional but looks a bit dated and could be more intuitive. Not a huge deal since I only go there to make changes once in a while, but a UI update would definitely make it a 5-star experience for me. Solid plugin overall. Recommended if you just want something that works.

Simple and effective. I wanted to change the ‘Company Name’ field to ‘Store Name’ and make it mandatory. This plugin did it in 2 clicks. The interface is clean and the changes reflect immediately on the frontend. Great support too! This topic was modified 2 weeks, 1 day ago by alanwilson20015.

I’ve been using WooCommerce for years, and I always hated that I needed to hire a developer just to change the ‘Billing Address’ to ‘Shipping Address’ or to remove the ‘Company Name’ field. This plugin solves all of that in seconds. I love that I can just click a button to hide the ‘Order Notes’ section (which my customers never used anyway) and make the ‘Phone Number’ field mandatory. The interface is super simple—no confusing code snippets. If you want to clean up your checkout and make it easier for your customers, buy this plugin.
