Removal-risk signals
51/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 11+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.

Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
What its installed base runs
via wordpress.orgShare of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Estimated value
What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.
Est. annual revenue
Est. acquisition value
No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

Works perfectly. Just beware that in the current version (1.5) all users will see the test gateway if WP_DEBUG is set to true. (I have added a support question about this)

Great plugin, I just had to make one change so that it would support WooCommerce Subscriptions. Adding $this->supports = array( 'subscriptions', 'products' ); to the plugins _constructor does it, would be nice to see this added permanently?

Great plugin, may not have been updated but doesn’t need to, still works on WC3.

Finally, a method to test WooCommerce on a live site: – Only visible to logged in admin users – Activates the filter woocommerce_payment_complete_order_status, which only fires on real payment processors like Sisow, Paypal etc. This filter does NOT fire on other testing payment methods like COD, bank/wire transfer etc. Highly recommended!

The plugin is very easy to install and works as it should. I think this plugin deserves to be committed to the core WooCommerce plugin. I was surprised that there was no test payment on WooCommorce. Thank you for the developer who developed this plugin! Mauris
