Biggest opportunity: Add “messages”, “custom shipping” and “shipping methods” to your wp.org tags. You rank #5, #8 and #12 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 4 listed these are the slots worth spending.

of downloads still active
At least 3K of 155.2K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,154 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 6 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.

What to do about it
- Add “messages”, “custom shipping” and “shipping methods” to your wp.org tags. You rank #5, #8 and #12 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 4 listed these are the slots worth spending.

I used this plugin in a website where I did not want to mess with PHP snippets as we had already conflicts going on. It does the job perfectly…10/10.!
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ toad784.6y ago
This plugin is very simple to use, which is why I gave it five stars. I do hope in the near future, however, that this plugin will expand to offer more customizable message options. Good job!

I have zero experience with plugins and programming and really needed to update shipping details… wow … what luck to have found this app. Seriously, even a dummy like me was able to get it up and done in 5 minutes. Thank you! This topic was modified 6 years ago by stevegiddings.
