Biggest opportunity: Swap “payments”, “subscriptions” and “online store” for “b2b ecommerce”, “landed cost” and “rma”. “payments” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “b2b ecommerce” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “subscriptions” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “landed cost” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “online store” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #20. “rma” sits at #4 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 →2.4%
of downloads still active
At least 700 of 29K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,142 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 11 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 I needed any advice or help with the setup, I always got a quick response from the authors. So I can recommend this great e-shop to others. It is really great. Sorry for the bad English.

I have been running my small online business for past 2 years and was always struggling with WooCommerce. Too many plugins needed, site became slow, and setup was very complicated. Then I found StoreEngine and decided to give it a try. What I really like about StoreEngine is that everything comes in one package. No need to install 10 different plugins for payment, subscriptions, affiliates etc. This saved me both money and headache. The speed difference is remarkable. My website loads much faster now compared to when I was using WooCommerce with multiple plugins. Setting up payment options was very simple. I could enable PayPal, Stripe, Razoprpay, and even cash on delivery. The tax calculation feature automatically handles GST based on customer location. The affiliate system is a nice bonus. I can now give commission to friends and family who help promote my products. This was costing me extra money with WooCommerce addons before. Customer support is also quite good. When I had issue during setup, they replied within few hours and helped me solve it properly. The documentation is also written in simple English which I appreciate. For anyone looking for WooCommerce alternative, especially small business owners in India, I would definitely recommend StoreEngine. It’s affordable, simple to use, and does everything you need without making your website slow.

StoreEngine is a game changer for WooCommerce users. It’s lightweight, lightning fast, and packed with smart features that actually improve conversion and user experience. The UI is clean and modern, and everything just works no bloat, no unnecessary gimmicks. If you’re looking to level up your online store without slowing it down, StoreEngine is a must have.
