Biggest opportunity: Swap “live shipping rates” for “multi carrier”. “live shipping rates” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “multi carrier” sits at #24 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 20 of 3.3K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,770 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized 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 1 release 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.

This plugin provides absolutely zero way after the purchase of a label, to validate the package size and weight that was used to purchase the label. So whether you want to audit the plugin to make sure it purchased a label for what you expected, or want to lookup that info while packing an order, you cannot. The ShipStation and Shippo plugins by this same company store that info in the order metadata, but this one does not and they asked me to pay a $650 custom development fee to simply add that metadata like their other plugins already save. It sucks because everything else about this has been good, but this missing data make this a 1 star to me.
