Biggest opportunity: “credit card” and “payments” 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.

How it's measured →1.8%
of downloads still active
At least 1K of 56K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Payments plugin keeps 1.0%, across 1,043 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Payments 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.

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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| gcash your tag | #1 | #1 | 0 |
| grabpay your tag | #4 | #6 | down 1 |
| credit card your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| payments your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
14 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 2 listed. 12 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 2 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

I activated this WP plugin once again upon seeing it has been updated. The last time I used it, my website broke. It’s working well now together with WooCommerce plugin. Kudos to the developers. Now my e-books are up once again for local and international buyers.

Hi Cyndertech, your Plugin is not working now, please do some fixes. Payment Options/Methods will not show on Checkout page even if paymentgateway admin configuration is perfectly fine. I specifically wanted to use GCash EWallet for the payment.

What I really like about this is we can get these payment options right off the bat which is really hard in the Philippines. Although they could still use some improvement. Still great though. Keep on improving this!
