Biggest opportunity: Swap “group” for “dependencies”. “group” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “dependencies” sits at #4 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 100 of 6.2K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,141 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.

    Después de probar varios plugins mucho más pesados y complejos, he encontrado este que hace exactamente lo que necesito. Si vendo un pack que incluye 2 o más unidades de uno o varios productos, el stock se actualiza instantáneamente.

    Hello! I’m using your plugins it is great, but your plugins still do not have new updates… When I made an update to WordPress 5.9.2 your plugin made many problems on my page and on the server. When I made a backup to 5.7.6 everything worked well again. We can use your plugins only if you plan the next updates. Now it is not proffesional. Sorry. WB.

    I’ve been waiting for this kind of function for so long. In the meantime I have been using Product Bundles to achieve something similar, but this is much more seamless. It’s perfect for multibuy products on discount and lower affiliate rate, or subscriptions sharing the same stock. Also geolocated redirections to different product attributes. I hope before long there will be refund functionality to put the products back in stock and integration with Product Batches by WP Overnight. I’d be happy if this was in a premium paid version.

    This plugin is the missing part of the puzzle to manage your stock. makes managing global stock of a variation possible. In a restaurant for ex. it could manage your stock of ingredients that are used in many different dishes. If one ingredient is out of stock , the whole dish will be unavailable! Wonderful support from Kevin! Ludo

    This plugin was exactly what we required on one of our e-commerce sites, and it worked perfectly. Very simple to use and a great UX for customers (i.e no confusing messages). Everything is managed on the back-end and if one of the dependant products is not in stock, the ‘parent’ product shows as sold out on the front end. Stock management for the warehouse will be much easier. Huge thanks to the developer. This topic was modified 5 years, 6 months ago by iainbeaumont.

    Simple plugin that does one thing, does it well and for free. It doesn’t fill your WordPress with useless “features” nor does it charge you for something so essential as shared stock for product variations. I had a little trouble setting it up, but once I read the instructions carefully, I got it working and it’s perfect.
