Biggest opportunity: Swap “dropshipping” for “merch”. “dropshipping” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “merch” sits at #5 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 600 of 18.2K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,140 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.

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 |

What to do about it

Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
What its installed base runs
via wordpress.orgShare of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.
Estimated active installs
The public count shows “600+”. Our estimate pins where the real number sits.
Crossed into this band 2 months ago and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just under 700.

No one seems to care about the recently disclosed vulnerability of this plugin: Spreadconnect <= 2.1.5 – Missing Authorization This pluign hasn’t been tested with the latest 3 major releases of WordPress so basically is abandoned.

Stopped working, no response from support, appears abandoned SPOD.app appears to have tech issues as well, cant add products to WOO within their app. May have to revert to Printify or other service. Shame, Spod had good pricing

DON’T USE IT. We had to close our webshop due to SPOD deleting all products (over 130!) without any communication. This is their answer when I contacted customer service: Hello Tom, Thank you for your email. We’re very sorry to inform you that the products were deleted by our devs due to an ugly bug they found. Unfortunately, the products had to be deleted for good to get rid of this bug. According to them, you would have to create your products again. Please feel free to contact us if you have any further questions. Sincerely, Cielo Customer Service

The SPOD plugin was causing errors to my site (I’m not the only one who experienced this). When an update to the plugin was released, it corrected that error issue, but it created another show stopping problem. The update took my existing WooCommerce integration which has ALL of my products and disconnected it from my store and a NEW WooCommerce integration was then connected to my store. As of this writing, this SPOD plugin has no way to functionally manage your WooCommerce integration. There is no way from within the WordPress SPOD plugin to manage keys, disconnect the integration, or anything else. There is only the button link that sends me to the SPOD website, where also, there is no way to functionally manage the WooCommerce integration. There is no way to disconnect or remove an integration without deleting your entire SPOD account!! This lack of ability is worthy of zero stars. Now, all my items are in the disconnected integration with no way to transfer them to the new connected integration, and no way to disconnect an integration from my store and reconnect to the other integration. This means I must recreate every single item from scratch. Will this happen again down the road? To top it off, SPOD has yet to respond to any of my multiple inquiries. Needless to say I am not pleased.

It takes forever to sync products to Woo stores.

Pessimo plugin e pessima assistenza. ho installato il plugin e ho perso molto tempo per capire il funzionamento. Tutti i plugin di print on demand si integrano bene con woocommerce, SPOD no. Questo plugin non crea le classi di spedizione e bisogna inserirle manualmente. Roba da pazzi! Comunque, mi sono tirato su le maniche volenteroso di impostare il mio woocommerce per farlo funzionare con l’ausilio di altri plugin. Ho chiesto al supporto diverse cose, tra le quali la conferma della correttezza delle classi di spedizione che avevo impostato. Dopo tutto il lavoro che ho perso, l’assistenza mi ha risposto che devo andare a vedere le FAQ di woocommerce. Assurdo!!! Una brutta esperienza, ho disinstallato tutto immediatamente.

Thank you SPOD for putting this plugin out there. Support has been awesome. The feature we liked the most is the free designs. Helped us to get up to speed. Keep on rockin’!
