Biggest opportunity: Swap “address”, “billing” and “validation” for “validate address”, “validator” and “billing address”. “address” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “validate address” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “billing” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “validator” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “validation” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “billing address” sits at #14 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 90 of 11K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,142 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 1 release 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.

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.

What to do about it
- Swap “address”, “billing” and “validation” for “validate address”, “validator” and “billing address”. “address” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “validate address” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “billing” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “validator” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “validation” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “billing address” sits at #14 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “address validation”. #15 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ Daniel Zimmermann4.5y ago
I paid for it and used it for a year on my webshop. Indeed, there are no wrong addresses anymore. I eventually removed and moved to another solution rafter a customer entered a valid address and the plugin would by no means allow him to submit his order. There might be only few cases like this, but I would expect a zero-error-tolerance in a tool like this. Maybe as a suggestion: If the plugin is unsure for a certain address, why not popping up a message and ask the customer whether he is sure that address is correct, and then anyway allow to submit?

Pros: Tested the plugin to format and correct our EU customer addresses and it worked very well. Cons: Had to prepare the database before validation, took a few hours, but all other alternatives also required the same. Suggestion to add an automatic data formatting feature.

Monthly subscription is required to make plugin work. And subscription is very expensive

180€ per month for the API fees but the plugin is free
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Joe Tall5.8y ago
For me as an ecommerce business owner, it is very important to have tools I can rely on. Address validation is a small thing that can make a big difference in the workflow. And this plugin has helped me to improve it. Five stars, ladies and gentlemen.

This is the second tool from Byteplant which I use. The best choice for any website working with users’ addresses.

I use it on an eCommerce international website. Simple and reliable tool.

This plugin is a great tool. I just use it and don’t have any issues. The API is not free, but it’s worth every dollar. Good services should be paid.
