Biggest opportunity: Swap “woocommerce wholesale”, “wholesale” and “pay later” for “without”, “payment reminder” and “b2b wholesale”. “woocommerce wholesale” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #24. “without” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “wholesale” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #23. “payment reminder” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “pay later” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #16. “b2b wholesale” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →3.4%
of downloads still active
At least 3K of 88.7K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,139 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
- Swap “woocommerce wholesale”, “wholesale” and “pay later” for “without”, “payment reminder” and “b2b wholesale”. “woocommerce wholesale” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #24. “without” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “wholesale” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #23. “payment reminder” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “pay later” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #16. “b2b wholesale” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- Slipping on “wholesale”. Down 5 places since 2026-09-24, now #23. Check what shipped around then, and what moved above you.
- One page off on “b2b”. #14 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- One page off on “pay later”. #16 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

The UI can be a bit confusing, but their support quickly helped me out with my problems.

Great support with timely response
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ baker2pd1.8y ago
This plugin is perfect for when you want to offer free products to collect customers information and want to make the order checkout as smooth as possible. I needed a few modifications and the customer service was top tier. I definitely recommend using the pro version
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ kamilt1.9y ago
I initially thought this plugin would override the default WooCommerce functionality that prevents checkout for products with a price of 0. However, this functionality is not available in the free version of the plugin. All the useful options seem to be available only in the Pro version. I am unsure what features are actually provided in the free version. It would be helpful if the author could clarify what the free version includes, as this would benefit others.

Sometimes, when my clients request a shop solution but do not want to process payments and only create a quotation request, this plugin does the job excellently. They also provide good and fast support.

Great plugin – does exactly what I need. When I had an issue support was quick and responsive and addressed my issue completely. A+ customer service.

I asked for a customisation of the PRO version, which the dev told me was in the road map for the next update of the plugin. Dev sent me the beta version of the new release to test, and assisted me in configuration. It worked smoothly for my needs! Would recommend it, 10/10
