Biggest opportunity: Swap “product” and “woocommerce catalog” for “catalog mode” and “product sorting”. “product” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “catalog mode” sits at #13 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “woocommerce catalog” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #22. “product sorting” sits at #13 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 4K of 1.4M lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,149 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.
This plugin shipped 12 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.

What to do about it
- Swap “product” and “woocommerce catalog” for “catalog mode” and “product sorting”. “product” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “catalog mode” sits at #13 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “woocommerce catalog” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #22. “product sorting” sits at #13 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up.

I have a bike shop, I already have woocommerce showcasing my products, but I wanted to list used bikes separately, not linked to woocommerce. This is the only plugin that allowed me to showcase used bikes. As an alternative co-existent showcase, it gave me a lot of control. In fact, the used bikes look better than my new bikes on woocommerce! Thanks for this plugin

The product works as advertised and has a host of customization features. Best of all, the support is quick-to-respond, friendly, and helpful

The plugin itself is a solid choice if you have a smaller shop or simple products to sell. Usage is straightforward and easy to implement. We had to rebuild a shop site that was using a severely outdated version of UPC. Since the previous plugin version was a full generation behind, I definitely needed some help getting everything updated and up-to-speed. The premium support for this plugin is outstanding. While the plugin is fairly intuitive, there were aspects that I required more than the documentation (which was decent) to address. The support team was able to provide me with information that helped handle issues I encountered. Some of my questions were outside of their purview and in those instances they were still able to point me in the right direction by referring me to specific files and example scripts. I’m happy with the plugin and happy with the service. I greatly appreciate the support team and thank them wholeheartedly.

I recently had a UPC technical difficulty and the support team responded immediately. I’ve been using the UPC plugin for many years and this is the best plugin out there, I have to say. The support team was able to solve the problem and even made an update to the plugin. I highly recommend this plugin for your website. They deserve more than 5 Stars. Thank you UPC team!
