Biggest opportunity: Swap “payments” for “receive”. “payments” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “receive” sits at #21 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

6.9%

of downloads still active

At least 3K of 43.7K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Payments plugin keeps 1.0%, across 1,042 plugins.

Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Payments 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 2 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.

    I check the website but it’s not available. It’s offline so the other comments are so poor in numbers and quantity. Sorry but my rating cannot be 5.

    I downloaded and installed it, but as soon as I activated the plugin, it crashed my site. I used the back button on the browser and deleted the plugin.
