6.7%

of downloads still active

At least 10K of 150K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,180 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 8 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.

    It’s exactly what I wanted from it, except it would be magical if this could be done in bulk editing (when importing the product database).

    Finally! A developer that knows what they’re doing and doesn’t muck about with the feature set; unlike many other plugins, this plugin doesn’t bait & switch – it does everything it says on the tin and is completely free even though it feels like premium. It is dead easy to add tabs, configure how and where they appear and then edit and format content just like any other post. Two thumbs up and five well deserved stars.

    The plugin makes it a easy to add extra tabs to Woo products. By category, brand, or individually.Very smooth sorting and handy shortcodes work great. It feels like a thoughtful upgrade for organizing your product pages.

    Simple, clean and easy to use. I don’t know why this is not part of woocommerce core plugin.

    Custom Product Tabs for WooCommerce is easy to use and perfect for adding extra product information like size charts or FAQs. Reusable tabs save time. I really hope it becomes fully compatible with WPML soon — that would make it even better!
