Biggest opportunity: Add “ajax” and “e commerce” to your wp.org tags. You rank #7 and #19 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.

of downloads still active
At least 10K of 668.6K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,181 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 11 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.

easy and fast. I’m using with Divi 5 so the view cart was a bit too close the the button so i moved it with css margin. Also, i never got a cart fly in but that’s fine.

This should be built-in functionality, but in the absence of such, this plugin does the job well.

Works as I expected it to resolve the issue of page reloading when items added to cart. Did have an issue with it not updating the cart to show items in the cart icon at top of my site. Using with Divi theme.
