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.

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

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

N/A

Est. acquisition value

N/A

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. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

    I have to admit, at first it was quite frustrating getting everything setup correctly. What helped me was to have mailed the ITs guys who, via Team Viewer, fixed the issues which resulted in inaccurate calculations. My advice: contact them from the start and ensure the plugin is set to automatically update. Now and then, I still have issues with clients who struggle with entering a suburb that “doesn’t exist” and as a result get ridiculously high price calculations. I’ve been using the plugin on my website for about 2 and a half years and can say it really works well after the teething issues have been sorted! Thank you.

    When will this be fixed and when will the new update be?

    Rather just add a flat rate. This plugin is faulty.

    After all the struggle to get it set up, it now breaks the Province field on the checkout page under the billing address.

    The Plugin does not work. It only displays certain local shipping options when checking out on my website and when I exclude those options, it states that there are no other means of delivery, but when details are entered manually into their website, the other (preferred) shipping options are shown/offered.
