Biggest opportunity: Swap “ajax”, “checkout” and “woocommerce” for “minicart”, “stock keeping unit” and “low stock”. “ajax” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “minicart” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “checkout” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “stock keeping unit” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “woocommerce” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “low stock” sits at #12 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 700 of 66.3K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with 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 13 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
- Swap “ajax”, “checkout” and “woocommerce” for “minicart”, “stock keeping unit” and “low stock”. “ajax” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “minicart” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “checkout” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “stock keeping unit” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “woocommerce” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “low stock” sits at #12 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up.

Crossed into this band today and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just under 800.

Some of the functions in this plugin seem like real head slappers, not because they’re not good (they are), but because they feel like they should already be included with Woocommerce but aren’t. Needless to say, this plugin offers additional mileage for your Woocommerce installations and has served me well for years. Thank you.

It solves mulitple of our headaches that we had! Our customers is a local pizza store. He wanted the customers to be able to choose the size and add the pizza to the cart on the shop page without having to go the product page every single time. Also while scrolling through the menu the page should not refresh and go back to the top every time a pizza is added to the cart. And now we had a support issue which we were helped with by the developer very professionally and fast. Everything works great now!

This is “please add this to Woo core”-sort of stuff. Just blam, so many things done with the same plugin considering shop usability for the end user, in terms of conversion. This guy’s gotta get a name for himself, if he hasn’t already, I don’t know. Let’s make it happen.
