Biggest opportunity: Swap “crypto payment gateway” for “accept crypto payments”. “crypto payment gateway” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “accept crypto payments” sits at #11 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 →1.4%
of downloads still active
At least 60 of 4.4K lifetime downloads are still running, above 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 3 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.

Directory rank
Ranked about #19,100 to #20,000, alongside the other plugins at 60+ installs. Plugins with the same install count swap places between wp.org requests, so this is where most of them sit. Checked monthly, last on 21 Oct 2026.
Update activity
Downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites.
Not enough installs to measure. This needs at least 100 active sites; below that, a handful of downloads reads as tens of thousands.
Release cadence

Couldn’t believe how easy it was to set this up. A few teething problems (user error as it turns out) were dealt with swiftly. Great support, good looking interface and works very smoothly.

Yesterday I implemented Bitcoin payments on our wine shop bordeauxspeciaalzaak.nlWhat a fantastic plugin this is! Great Dashboard, great documentation, great support (direct via chat for the few questions I had because I didn’t read the documentation well enough 🙂 It took me like 2 hours to set everything up and now visitors can pay using the lightning network! I really thrilled. Keep up the good work Speed. I am sure you will thrive in the coming years. This topic was modified 2 years, 9 months ago by arnoss.
