of downloads still active
At least 500 of 9.4K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,167 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.

How it's tracked →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.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| weight based pricing your tag | #15 | #22 | down 5 |
| weight based | #18 | #21 | down 2 |
| unit your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| weight your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| weight based shipping your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| woocommerce your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
2 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- Slipping on “weight based pricing”. Down 5 places since 2026-10-13, now #15. Check what shipped around then, and what moved above you.
- “unit”, “weight” and “weight based shipping” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

It works fine!
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ samrot2.0y ago
It has problems displaying on shop and archive pages and there is no support. It could be a great plugin though, I like it’s simplicity and straightforward solution but there are others that do the same, constantly update and have better support (or at least some kind of support).

Best Weight Based Pricing plugin for WooCommerce. Built with single purpose in mind: Adding Weight Based Pricing functionality to woocommerce, while all other plugins are trying to solve many other things with one plugin making configuration slow and sometimes with bugs. Just need some integration with Weight Based Shipping plugins.
