Biggest opportunity: Swap “ecommerce” and “payment gateway” for “iris” and “authorization”. “ecommerce” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “iris” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “payment gateway” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “authorization” sits at #11 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →4.1%
of downloads still active
At least 1K of 24.2K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,178 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 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.

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

Directory rank
Outside the top 10,000. We record rank daily for the 10,000 most popular plugins; below that, wp.org shuffles plugins with the same install count between requests, so a daily position would be noise. Last ranked #5,436 on 15 Oct 2026.

The plugin works really well, especially considering it’s free. Additionally, Papaki’s support is very fast and helpful!
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ escozul2.7y ago
Το 2024 θα έπρεπε να είναι συμβατό με τις ενδόσεις 8.0, 8.1 και 8.2 τουλάχιστον! Το καλύτερο να είναι και με την 8.3. Στις παραπάνω εκδόσεις βγάζει πολλά warnings. Δεν πρέπει να είναι δύσκολο να διορθωθεί! Κρίμα!

Απλό λιτό + λειτουργικό

Δυστυχώς το plugin δεν έχει καμία υποστήριξη. Όσες ερωτήσεις γίνονται στο support δεν λαμβάνουν καμία απάντηση για μήνες. Και μετά τα πρόσφατα updates των WP και WC πλέον δέχομαι αρκετά warnings.

<!– wp:paragraph –> <p class=””>Το πρόσθετο είναι τέλειο .. Το ένα αστέρι το παίρνετε επειδή έχετε δυο χρόνια να το αναβαθμίσετε με αποτέλεσμα να μην είναι συμβατό με την τελευταία έκδοση του wordpress ( πολύ κρίσιμη παράλειψη ) και επίσης επειδή δεν απαντάτε στο support forum</p> <!– /wp:paragraph –> This topic was modified 2 years, 9 months ago by GIORGOS DIMOPOULOS.
