Biggest opportunity: “address”, “checkout” and “confirmation” 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 20 of 2.6K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,184 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.

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.

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ Sara Die Webmacherin1.2y ago
Nice small plugin. Does exactly what it promises and nothing else. I like it. I tried it in a shop with way to many plugins and didn’t notice any conflicts. Small suggestion: If I forget to check the legal checkboxes that are necessary in some countries, I go back to the checkout page, and have to activate these, before I can finish the checkout. But then the address confirmation popup appears again. Maybe a cookie that remembers if I have already confirmed. Or the popup should only appear after all checkout fields are filled in correctly (e.g. test for checkout field validation errors before showing the popup). This topic was modified 10 months, 3 weeks ago by Sara Die Webmacherin.
