Biggest opportunity: Swap “cart”, “shopping cart” and “woocommerce” for “minicart”, “mini cart” and “aov”. “cart” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “minicart” sits at #11 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “shopping cart” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “mini cart” sits at #20 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “woocommerce” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “aov” sits at #23 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 →5.5%
of downloads still active
At least 300 of 5.5K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,155 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 1 release 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.

I encountered a technical issue with this plugin related to WordPress i18n functions and string translation. I’m extremely grateful to PAVITHRA and SIVA for their outstanding assistance. They thoroughly investigated the problem and delivered an updated version with all the necessary corrections in no time at all. Their responsiveness and commitment to quality are truly commendable. This is exactly the kind of support you want from a plugin developer. Highly recommended!

Perhaps one of the best solutions among similar modules. Here you will find more features than in other paid side cart modules. The support is excellent and responsive. helped solve some problems and quickly released an update with fixes. I also expect them to develop and implement some features with the addition of a banner with an image (simple and clickable) to increase conversions. WordPress has many similar modules, but here they have collected all the best and made their own. Special thanks for the support Haripradeep.
