WC Vendors – WooCommerce Multivendor, WooCommerce Marketplace, Product Vendors

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

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.

149 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 20 listed. 106 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words).

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 32% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Crossed into this band 4 months ago; a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, which places it about 65% of the way through.

   After reviewing multiple marketplace plugins, I decided to use WC Vendors and love it. The tutorial videos to set it up are easy to follow and the result is exactly what we needed. One feature that makes a huge difference is the ability to offer Instant Payout with Stripe Connect, love it. We also offer PayPal payout and ran into something that wasn’t working as expected. WC Vendors support team was very helpful, reactive, tested it on their end, we eventually gave them access to our site and they fixed it. We can’t expect everything to be working well all the time, tech is complex and issues arise. However having a reactive support team IS what makes a difference. Thank you for a great plugin and a great support team.

   Although I do not have the site up yet, the support has been very good. I am very impressed with the AI support agent. I have used it qutie a bit to evaluate the product and determine if it fit my needs. No that I am begging the process it has been very benificial in answering questions and providing guidance.
