Biggest opportunity: Swap “woocommerce composite products” and “woocommerce product builder” for “visual product configurator” and “product configurator”. “woocommerce composite products” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “visual product configurator” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “woocommerce product builder” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “product configurator” sits at #11 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 200 of 44.6K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,174 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.

What to do about it
- Swap “woocommerce composite products” and “woocommerce product builder” for “visual product configurator” and “product configurator”. “woocommerce composite products” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “visual product configurator” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “woocommerce product builder” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “product configurator” sits at #11 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “woocommerce product configurator”. #16 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

In APP , the plugin is aesthetically beautiful, the support is incredible, beyond its own responsibility, all the problems created were resolved practically immediately, I am very happy.

We used this plugin for our products for several years. It worked well for a while. After some time, it no longer worked to add products to the shopping cart. The button kept loading and loading and loading … customer service couldn’t solve the problem, but we managed to get the button to work with our hoster, at least temporarily. Recently, the configurator simply hangs during the design process, so that no configuration is possible for my customers. Orders have almost stopped coming in for weeks, or even months.Customer service keeps blaming the problem on us, our website, other plugins, the server … But the problem is simply not being addressed – or cannot be solved.There are also some errors in the conditional logic rules that make some settings impossible for me.In the meantime, customer service has completely given up and is not working on my problem; I didn’t even get an answer when I asked how they would solve the problem.I am very dissatisfied with this configurator plugin and have now switched to another one. With this one, you don’t pay a fixed amount, but a fee per order. That’s fine with me, even if it might end up being more expensive, as the configurator runs much more smoothly and the settings are much simpler.

Overall the plugin does the job. On the other hand, be careful when many display rules are configured; the page tends to take a long time to load; the same with the images which are all downloaded when the page loads. I encountered 2 problems recently but my support requests here on the directory and via the form on the developer’s official website went unanswered. I don’t know if there is any support yet.

We are very impressed with Visual Builder. It is a very powerful tool to configure products on a website. Also, when we’ve had a question, the service has been quick and helpful.

While not an easy product to ‘get your heard around’, once you follow the instructions, it is a brilliant product builder tool. Personally, I have found the support team to be outstanding.

I have used this plugin for a few years, and it has gone from bad to worse. 1. On the eve of my product launch and while QA testing I learned the “add to cart” button did not work. 2. I am unable to change the button text without installing another plugin. 3. The collapsible menu is glitchy, you should be using CSS animations for smooth transitions. Also, the support link you provided does work with my account login. Here is a quick fix for the button change text issue, use CSS. a.vpc-configure-button.button { content: ‘new button text’; }
