Biggest opportunity: “brands”, “distributor” and “manufacturer” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

of downloads still active
At least 400 of 38.6K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,140 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.
Removal-risk signals
53/100Maintenance 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 5+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.7.21.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| brands your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| distributor your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| manufacturer your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| supplier your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| woocommerce your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

- “brands”, “distributor” and “manufacturer” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

Release cadence

Great plugin with a lot of features (even in FREE version). Some paid plugins have less features available.

Horrible support! The plugin didn’t work with my website. I asked support and they told me: “I does not see why you have this issue and can’t check this.”

I wanted some of the functions in this, and was planning to buy it, but installed the free version, and decided not to buy it. Firs of all, I hope the premium dos not have the same messy setup, my WP looked like a XMAS tree.. I like free plugins, and sometimes i buy the premium if it works/looks good with a good interface, but seriously!!! also the documentation link was faulty . Sorry, tried it, deleted it!!

Back and fort together with the developer and the my themedeveloper II tried to fix this plugin, but its not working in the Woopress theme. I ask for a refund, but that is out of the question. Don’t buy it before you know for sure it will work. On the twenty fifteen theme it works!
