Biggest opportunity: Swap “donation”, “invoices” and “payment forms” for “bdt”, “fpx” and “paddle”. “donation” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “bdt” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “invoices” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “fpx” sits at #20 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “payment forms” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “paddle” sits at #22 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 →0.5%
of downloads still active
At least 100 of 19.3K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Payments plugin keeps 1.0%, across 1,042 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Payments 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 20 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.

What to do about it
- Swap “donation”, “invoices” and “payment forms” for “bdt”, “fpx” and “paddle”. “donation” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “bdt” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “invoices” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “fpx” sits at #20 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “payment forms” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “paddle” sits at #22 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up.

Reviewer account pattern
from wp.org reviewer profiles7 of the last 12 four- and five-star reviews came from accounts created within a month of posting the review, and 6 of those landed between 2021-06-08 and 2021-06-27.
Registering a wp.org account just to leave a review is common and often entirely legitimate. The share here is unusually high for the sample, so it's worth keeping in mind while reading the reviews.

I would not recommend WPSmartPay. In short: Many advertised features DO NOT work or are bugged Support is terrible, generic and very slow Even highly skilled, experienced WordPress devs struggle to implement the plugin

Really it’s a good plugin for handling payment with WooCommerce through Paddle. I have been using the Pro Version of it’s for processing subscription payment for my plugin “Leo Product Recommendations for WooCommerce”
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ chriswinters5.4y ago
Love this! Very well thought out and eliminates some headaches associated with the “woo” experience, and pairing this with paddle for woo makes this a lot better option than woo subscriptions in my opinion. Clean and sleek! This topic was modified 5 years ago by chriswinters.
