High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance 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.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.0.38, well behind 6.8.

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.
Release cadence
No release in a yearHow 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
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.

I’m thrilled to bits with the ease and functionality of this simple shopping cart. My client couldn’t believe that less than an hour after her request, she now has shopping facilities on her WordPress site. She thinks I’m the best thing since sliced bread and, I’m happily basking in the glory that by rights belongs to the wonderful developers, humanmade. Oh, and did I mention that the customer even gets an easy-to-customise order confirmation e-mail? What more could I want… Thank you for making my life so much easier.

If you don’t have many products or services and want a real simple way to build a shopping cart for your WP site, this is the plugin to use. It’s much clearer than building the button on PayPal and copying and pasting the code and on the other end, it’s much more simple than a robust shopping cart solution. I use this for clients when they have less than a handful of products and they’ve always been very pleased with it. (I have yet to test this on the most-recent WP install (3.5.1) but will be shortly and will report back my findings.)
