Biggest opportunity: Add “emails” and “whatsapp” to your wp.org tags. You rank #5 and #14 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 3 listed these are the slots worth spending.

3.5%

of downloads still active

At least 300K of 8.7M lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,182 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 12 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.

    Este plugin nos ha rescatado bastantes carritos abandonados. Fácil de configurar y trabaja sólo.Herramienta indispensable para un woocommerce.Sólo vemos unas métricas económicas con algo de desfase, las cifras que muestra no son reales. Como no es una métrica que me importe mucho para el general, no me preocupa.Por lo demás el plugin funciona y lo hace bien.

    Awesome plugin. A must plugin for every webshop that is paying for traffic. If you have a webshop, and pay a lot to get traffic this will bring back customers that abandon your cart with very hig rate. But – you must make those emails personal and with the little help of an AI in writing you can make it even better. Thank you for this awesome plugin.
