Biggest opportunity: Swap “ecommerce” for “proof”. “ecommerce” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “proof” sits at #17 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 →1.6%
of downloads still active
At least 10K of 641.9K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,167 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.

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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |

What to do about it
- Swap “ecommerce” for “proof”. “ecommerce” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “proof” sits at #17 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

I had some issues initially getting this working and had to use Zapier as the middleware between my site and TrustPulse but following the help and guidance from TrustPulse it worked very well. Big shout out to Nwachukwu in technical support who went above and beyond. Thanks very much

I had an excellent experience with their support team. Quick shout out to Nwachukwu who was very responsive and got me the answers that I needed promptly. Trustpulse was quite easy to set up and get it working, but needed a couple of pointers to get me on the right rack and the support team helped me out nicely.

I could not say enough positive things about this plugin. Setup was very simple, at first the data wasn’t connecting but updating to the plan that covered the WooCommerce API corrected that. It works flawlessly, and the configuration options are great. Support was also very quick to respond and clarify features. When something I wanted wasn’t available, they submitted a feature request. Also, I believe having this connected when we launched our annual campaign has catapulted initial sales. LOVE it. Thank You!
