Biggest opportunity: “button” and “cart” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

of downloads still active
At least 9K of 189.9K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,168 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.

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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| button your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| cart your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| woocommerce your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
5 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 0 listed. 5 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Release cadence
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Looks nice and super easy to use!

Plugin name is misleading. You can only customize the label text of the button or hide it. You can’t actually create a custom add to cart button and edit the button’s size, shape or color, you know like creating an actual “Custom” button. The icon that you can show is ugly, there should be an option to choose from different cart icons or add your own icon. Not bad for a free plugin but if you really need to create a “custom” add to cart button instead of just editing the label or hiding it, look somewhere else.

Delighted to have found this. A simple enough thing to need to do but the code just a bit beyond my pay grade. So this seems to be a great answer. The developers website inspires confidence and I would return for other plugins if needed. So thanks Barn2!

Worked as per the description and seemed to be great, but I faced incompatibility issues and had to deactivate. I had problems with the permalinks and the language switcher. This topic was modified 7 years, 7 months ago by amiculsecret.

Its great in my English website. Unfortunately I can’t find a feature how to set a different language when my website is multilanguage by WPML plugin. Also I miss a possibilities how to change a design of the button like color, size, change the picture etc. For that reason I cannot give 5 stars.

Plugin description is completely bullshit. This plugin can’t change add to cart button with icon/image.. This topic was modified 8 years, 1 month ago by 2h1n846.
