Biggest opportunity: Add “multiple fees”, “fees” and “additional” to your wp.org tags. You rank #10, #12 and #17 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 4 listed these are the slots worth spending.

How it's measured →0.6%
of downloads still active
At least 200 of 34.2K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,170 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.
This plugin shipped 6 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.

What to do about it
- Add “multiple fees”, “fees” and “additional” to your wp.org tags. You rank #10, #12 and #17 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 4 listed these are the slots worth spending.
- One page off on “woocommerce additional cost”. #16 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- One page off on “woocommerce surcharge”. #16 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
