No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price.

    In our setup, this allowed users to create accounts at checkout that were less than the required settings. This resulted in Woocommerce being unable to auto log them in after checkout. They also couldn’t log in manually, as the password didn’t meet the requirements in the backend.
