Biggest opportunity: “accept cryptocurrencies”, “bitcoin payment gateway” and “crypto payments” 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.

How it's measured →0.1%
of downloads still active
At least 10 of 8.1K 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 4 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.

For me crypto currency was always a mystery, but also very interesting. I recently opened my store and wanted to add something new, so I found this plugin. The set up is very easy and straightforward.

Awesome plugin if you are looking for crypto payment gateway for your woocommerce shop. Took 5 minutes to set it up and customer support was very helpful in answering all of my questions 🙂
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ bloup9.3y ago
Not good compared to bitpay plugin. 1. The orders are stuck in “on hold” status. They don’t send confirmation for sure. It is broken. 2. Spectrocoin gateway page does not allow to copy paste bitcoin address and value for people who want to pay from their wallet application on a website or software.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ thebugsomg10.2y ago
Features Needed ———————————– 1) No option to show company logo on the payment page. 2) Real name in your account is shown on payment page even if you are a business. 3) Default conversion currency is EUR. 4) No option to select the timeout period. It defaults to 24 hours which can lead to inventory being in limbo awaiting payment before it fails. 5) No overpayment or underpayment handling. 6) No ability to hide the language translations, select alternate ones, or choose a default language. Bugs/Issues ———————————– Gateway can take 10 seconds before showing the payment options. Not sure if this is a plugin, or server issue. Probably a server issue.
