Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.

  • Long abandoned. No update in 3+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 6.1.12.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

    I recently integrated the Checkbook Payment Plugin into my WordPress site and found it incredibly straightforward to set up and configure. The Checkbook service offers compatibility with multiple payment gateways, allowing me to receive funds instantly via a virtual card. The one-click checkout feature has notably decreased cart abandonment rates, providing customers with a seamless purchasing experience. Additionally, the responsive and dedicated customer support team exceeded my expectations for an emerging company. You need to register at checkbook.io and obtain your API keys, which is a one-step process. One of the plugin’s most notable features is its built-in debugging tool, which was instrumental in helping me identify and resolve an issue related to my callback path in the Checkbook developer profile. As a developer, I often struggle with troubleshooting due to inaccessible API responses, but this plugin made it a breeze. I wholeheartedly recommend the Checkbook Payment Plugin to anyone looking to enhance their WooCommerce store and provide a more comprehensive payment experience for their customers.
