Biggest opportunity: Swap “payments”, “woocommerce subscriptions” and “stripe” for “recurring”, “split payments” and “subscription”. “payments” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #24. “recurring” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “woocommerce subscriptions” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #24. “split payments” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “stripe” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #19. “subscription” sits at #5 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 →2.7%
of downloads still active
At least 1K of 36.7K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Payments plugin keeps 1.0%, across 1,043 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 43 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 “payments”, “woocommerce subscriptions” and “stripe” for “recurring”, “split payments” and “subscription”. “payments” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #24. “recurring” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “woocommerce subscriptions” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #24. “split payments” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “stripe” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #19. “subscription” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- Slipping on “woocommerce subscriptions”. Down 7 places since 2026-09-22, now #24. Check what shipped around then, and what moved above you.
- One page off on “subscriptions”. #12 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

I started with the free and upgraded to the pro. It’s an excellent plugin. It’s easy to setup and the documentation available to create variations, etc is easy to understand. They are a little slow to answer emails but that’s not an issue for me. One upgrade I’d like to see from is to allow for synchronized billing (where I can bill everyone on the same day). I definitely recommend the plugin!
